Guest Post! Burt's Bees Honey Lip Balm

Today's guest post comes from somebody near and dear to the Chaptastic camp, Scrappy's boyfriend. OMG! BOYS! WTF?!

Despite being notoriously unconcerned about always having chapped lips, Chia enjoys being forced to review balms that make Scrappy nauseous.

Tally-ho:

Price: About $2.50, which seems about right. Since I never actually buy chapstick, I'm not sure whether this is fair or not. But it seems like it should be.

Appearance: This is solid product design - informative, relevant, and not ugly. I don't know if it would scream "buy me!" from the counter, but i wouldn't turn away either. I like the honeycomb pattern, though it might make the whole scene a little too busy (ha! busy... bees.. get it?).

Glide: Initially, the glide on this thing turned me off. You really have to work it to get anything on your lips, and that took a little bit of getting used to. But after I, you know... got used to it, it was cool.

Flavor/ Smell: What's that again? This has a very mellow taste.. there's a nice natural honey smell, but not much else. I would rather have that than some super-sweet syrupy thing... but this pretty much tastes like candle wax.

Lasting Power: Good stuff. I appreciate the fact that one application of this will last for a while, and I feel like it really heals your lips. When I recently had a split lip and lots of chappage, I used this, and it helped.

Product Plusses: The tube is made from recycled plastic. That's awesome. Also, not tested on animals. That's also awesome. (As an aside... who the hell would test chapstick on animals!? I know that I'm no expert, and maybe I'm naive... but, are there hamsters and cats and deer running around with chapped lips that need attention? Man, that's messed up.)

4 out of 5 tubes.
