I don’t usually like squeeze-tube lip balms. A lot of them are too greasy for me. Still, I love both Palmer’s cocoa butter and products that smell like dessert, so I bought a tube of their Lip Butter. I am glad I did. It’s very moisturizing, which is what I expected since cocoa butter is the second listed ingredient. However, it’s not greasy, which was a pleasant surprise. It had pretty average longevity, but it smells so good I don’t mind reapplying.

The scent is a delicious mix of chocolate and mint that smells just like the real thing. Fortunately, it doesn’t really taste like anything, because if it tasted like it smelled I would probably be eating it right out of the tube. Instead, I’m just going to enjoy the super-moisturization and the Andes mint-like smell, which is perfect for getting me into the holiday frame of mind. (Am I the only one who associates Andes mints with Christmastime?)

By the way, I have winter break after the fifteenth (exams start next week), so expect a more regular posting schedule for at least a few weeks.
