Refreshing Herb organic lip balm???

Post by ladycattat » Fri Dec 10, 2010 4:31 pm

has anyone tried the new Refreshing Herbal lip balm? I loooove herbal scents, but I HATE licorice, so wondering how the scent plays out?
Help...please!

To me it is kind of lightly mint and you can smell a bit of the basil. The citrus notes are right under the first two I mentioned. As far as licorice, it is very very light.....in fact I had to read the description when you mentioned it, just to be sure it was in there. I am wondering if the licorice is more what adds a bit of the sweet.

It is very funny, but I almost get more of an appetite suppressant aura from the Spicy Ginger lip balm, but I like them both. This girl needs all the help she can get over the holidays!

I love this! Very refreshing, only problem I am having is my tube will not roll up the balm, maybe formula is too soft or something.....so far I can still use it maybe try putting it in the fridge for a few.

I posted this in the lip balm thread, but thought I'd post here as well. I ordered SN lip balm as stocking stuffers for the fam. Ordered the Refreshing Herb because I figured it was a good all round one for guys or gals, regardless of age, and everyone loved it. :)

I recieved my order yesterday and immediately swiped on the lip balm. I really like it....I was worried about the licorice(cannot stand it) but it's barely noticable. I just smell mint and herbs...and I get a nice fresh feel from it. I know I am probably imagining it...but I get a little *tingly* sensation on my lips after I use it.(In a good way!)
I also tried this on my 8 year old son with really chapped lips, and he liked it a lot, plus his lips were healed after just 1 application. (he usually cannot bear me to use regular lip balms on him, as they are *too girly*. I agree that this makes a great option for the guys in our life!
