I've searched high and low, and when I saw that Soap and Glory had a balm, I was excited to give it a go! Their scrub is fantastic, and I even like their Clean on Me body wash. So their balm should be good… right?
This balm was waxy, sticky, and goopy. I didn't find it to be moisturizing at all. People had been raving about the "fresh peach" smell… how it is just like real peaches and how refreshing it is. Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it doesn't get more synthetic smelling than this, folks. No real peaches here. Not even fake peaches. Well, not good fake peaches (like Jolly Ranchers… yum!).
My search for the perfect balm continues. Until then, I think this makes a decent gloss, but not anything more. And because of the synthetic flavor and feel, I don't even think I'll use it as a gloss.
No great kissing with Great Kisser!
I use Softlips and Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment (I got the Fresh lip balm from Sephora as a sample and now love it but ah it is pricey). But I tend to like my lip balms a bit on the soft waxy side. The Maybelline Baby Lips do nothing for my lips in term of moisturizing it. But Softlips and Fresh Sugar do. I haven't tried the Soap and Glory one but I think I will stay away from it. Especially since it smells synthetic and isnt that mosturizing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review!
Baby Lips do nothing for me either! I did NOT get all the hype - sounds like I'm not the only one. Softlips are some of my favorites, and there used to be a liquid-y roller ball balm by Blistex that I love, but they don't make it anymore (from what I can tell). I think I like the softer, medicated ones that aren't thick and goopy.
Deleteoh no! i'll be sure to skip this for sure!
