MoistStic Natural Lip Protection

I got MoistStic for free when I made another purchase using a promo code I received from Influenster on the DrugStore.com website. As I got the stick close to my lips, I smelled the alluring scent of peppermint. I stopped immediately, as I have used some peppermint chapsticks before and had issues (but not all) . I scanned the ingredient list and  there it was Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil.

Even though my lips have previously broken out in hives from some peppermint chapsticks and have left my lips more plump (and itchy) than Angelina Jolie’s, I knew I would have to try this to determine it this product would do the same.

My tube of MoistStic
I opened the tube again and applied the balm to half of my lips (I don’t know why I thought this would be a better solution to having my whole mouth plump but I did.) The balm left my lips feeling silky and smooth, the peppermint made them feel fresh and tingle (in a good way).  After an acceptable amount of time without a single hive or itch I relented and applied the balm fully. (After testing for two days the hives came.)

When I tried this lip balm it stayed on my lips for 4 hours and  left my lips feeling soft and moist. After a few hours the lip balm dried but not entirely, leaving my lips soft and I didn’t feel the need to reapply it. I am a fan and even if I got it for the low price of $2.59 instead of for free I would be happy with this product provided that the hives from the peppermint hadn't occurred. I guess I will see if my sister wants a tube that has only been used a few times.

The MoistStic lip balm contains only natural ingredients which are coconut oil, beeswax, lanolin, peppermint oil, vitamin E and tea tree oil.
