ChapStick Lip Moisturizer

I’m considering my use of ChapStick’s Lip Moisturizer old school. The first, and probably only, lip balm I used while growing up has most definitely stood up to the test of time. And I bet they didn’t change a thing.

Recently I have been alternating between another stick and this ChapStick as my jean pocket standby. The reason for the alternation is because the other stick has a sunnier smell. What the hell does that mean? I don’t know but it makes me think spring (totally lame, I know). I will be reviewing this other stick in an upcoming post, prepare yourself.

Price: $1.99 per tube, from drugstore.com. I got a 3 pack for Christmas, so my cost was zero. So yeah, the price works for me. But, if it did come down to it, I would totally buy a tube of this for $1.99.

Glide: Superb gliding. I’ve used the figure skater metaphor, now let’s go for birds. This stick glides like a red-breasted robin on the first spring day. If that made no sense, what I mean is that this shit glides fantastically. And, if you keep it warm in your jeans all day, look out, the gliding gets that much better.

Flavor/ Smell: No flavor, no smell. This can be good, but it can also get boring – which is why I alternate. Sometimes I just really need an artificial fruit smell on my lips.

Lasting Power: Not sure exactly how long it lasts, but it’s a decent amount of time. Decent may mean different things to those afflicted with chapstick addiction – my definition of decent is at least 30 minutes.

Appearance: A nice blue tube to match my nice blue jeans. That’s really what it all comes down to, how well I can match a tube of chapstick to my jeans.

Product Plusses: SPF 15 & aloe.

Do yourself a favor and get some of this. It works, it’s clean, and you won’t smell like a bitch after using it.
