Kiehl's Lip Balm - New Obsession!

One of my friends recently returned from Taiwan, and before her trip, we scoured the city trying to find a lip balm for her to take to her cousin as a little gift. It wasn't any lip balm - it was Kiehl's Lip Balm. And guess what? It was no where to be found.

She came back from her trip and told me she had a little gift for me. You guessed it: it was Kiehl's! She found it at an airport and got some for me since we spent so long trying to track it down. Was it worth all of the trouble? I believe so!

I'm in love with it. This is definitely a staple item for my purse. The consistency of it is smooth and just...good. It's not sticky or messy. It's not thick or gooey. I've never had a lip balm like it. It moisturizes perfectly, and it has just enough sheen to be a near-lip gloss. Plus, it's SPF 15!

It has a screw top, and the applicator is a plastic, slanted piece with a hole. It's easy to clean and wipe off so you don't have lip balm all over the place. I feel like guys would like this too. The packaging is pretty basic, and it doesn't have a brush applicator so it's still "manly" enough for them to use. I know some guys hate lip balms that come in pretty, colored tubes.

I did some looking, and the main ingredient is cotton seed oil. It has great moisturizing and conditioning properties. I can definitely feel that property of the balm.

This lip balm is available in a clear color, a peachy tone, and a red tone. I have the clear one and I don't really feel the need to have the tinted ones. You may like a lip balm with a little tint if you're a "go all the time" girl who wants a simple all-in-one lip treatment.

All in all, I have found my new favorite lip balm. I'm so glad I have it, especially since colder temperatures are on the way (thank goodness!).

Thanks M! =)
