I never, like many, drink enough water. Also living in CO the air if dry af. My lips are always so dry, peeling, sometimes even crunchy with how dehydrated they get. I have to be kinda consistent using the product but I haven’t reapplied in 12 hours and my lips are dry on the surface but there’s no cracking peeling or crunchy feeling anymore! I’m so grateful to have found a product that makes a difference.
I adore the banana scent! Like banana laffy taffy. Such a delicious scent for all banana nuts
Smells phenomenal and leaves my lips so so soft!
I haven't actually tried this one yet because I also ordered a different balm that actually arrived first. Reading the other reviews about the smell made me want to open it up. (And I remembered the slight difficulty I have in opening it and the one I'm currently using. The seal doesn't tear as nicely as I would've hoped so I need to pick at it, and I'm totally fine doing because that's only needed when you open it for the first time.)
I can definitely say it has a strong banana smell. I think there's a hint of vanilla in there as well but when you're eating a banana cream pie the cream is an enhancement bed that the sugary banana flavor sits on.
It does smell like the banana flavoring that is used in products. If I recall though, that flavor is based on a type of banana we no longer have because it died out. (Personally I'd really like to try one of those bananas because it smells sooooo goood). That's probably at least one reason why it may come off as artificial. I can't say that it isn't made artificially since it is literally from an extinct banana, but if I'm correct, it does stem from a natural source that we just don't have access to anymore.
Either way, I do love the banana scent and am looking forward to testing it out. I might start using both flavors I bought and alternate between them because I'm really excited to actually use this banana cream pie flavor! <3
The banana flavor is exquisite. It comes up fast, clear, and strong and lasts quite a while. It reminds me of banana popsicles, my favorite treat from long ago. I would give it 10 stars if I could.
I love this lip balm! It smells just like banana candy and even tastes like it a little bit too. The scent isn’t too overpowering though. The balm itself is really moisturizing and feels nice on the lips. I also love supporting a small Canadian business with my purchase. I will definitely be repurchasing when I’m done my current tube!
I was unsure about spending a little more on lip balm; however, I am so glad I took a chance and will never go back to using anything else. This is my favourite scent so far!!!
