Mountain Ocean: Lip Trip

Well, its been a while since I've posted... However, my lip balm addiction hasn't shown any signs of slowing down, so I've got a lot of catching up to do!

Look/First Impressions: Bad-ass black tube with big white letters. The package promises this balm lasts three times longer, and has been tested in extreme mountain and tropical environments. Rugged! SPF 15, too.

Smell/Taste: The label said vanilla and peppermint, but this smelled more like cough syrup to me. Blech.

Feel: This balm is so extreme, I could barely get it on my lips! I was using this stick back in February when I went boarding, so I thought maybe it would be better if it was warm. I left it in a heated condo, and even after some time in my pocket, the consistency hadn't improved. After muscling it onto my lips, it felt sticky. When I rubbed my lips together, they actually stuck! Extreme mountain snowboarders don't need to eat...

Overall:
Meh, I lost this on the slopes and wasn't sad enough to buy a replacement. 1 out of 5 Stars.
