LypSyl Intense Protection LypMoisturizer

I received a complimentary tube of LypSyl Lip Balm from Influnster for testing and reviewing purposes.

According to their website:
"The secret behind the LypSyl is pure Swedish beeswax, ultra light to spread evenly and penetrate deeply, for unsurpassed moisturizing and protection. The innovative packaging is uniquely designed for quick and easy application — at home, on the go, anywhere! Our brand originated in Sweden over 100 years ago. Today's LypSyl has been reformulated with pure Swedish beeswax and an advanced blend of natural botanicals, ultra-rich moisturizers, and therapeutic ingredients."

According to me:
I love chapstick and gloss, in fact if you look in my purse you will probably find ~10 different tubes of the stuff, so I was super excited to try this lip balm.


Back of Packaging for Ingredient List

I opened this product right away and before even reading the information on it prepared to apply it. As I got the stick close to my lips, I smelled the alluring scent of peppermint. I stopped immediately, as I have used peppermint chapstick before and had issues. I scanned the ingredient list and did not see peppermint though the packaging claims a mint flavor.

Even though my lips have previously broken out in hives from 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.

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 several days still no problems!)

I love this product! My lips feel great when I use it, the packaging is cute (look at the bee on the side of the tube), its natural and the price is great. If you go to their website there is a list of places that they sell this. The average price is usually less than $3.

Wonder if my hubby noticed the change in my lips?

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.
