As I mentioned in this upcoming post, while I go all out with eye makeup, the liberal use of glitter, jewelry, and even hair color, I usually keep my mouth pretty toned down. Hand me a nice lip balm and I’m good to go. The only problem is, finding a nice lip balm isn’t as easy as it seems. It’s either too waxy, too dry, too thick, too sticky, or some combination of the therefore mentioned. When I do find something that works to my satisfaction, I generally buy lots of it — which is why there are at least a dozen Burt’s Bees lip balms amongst our two cars, my purse, and our bedroom.
But Burt may have to move over, because I honestly think I have found something better: Moody Bee. Krista, the owner of the family-owned, Canada-based company, contacted me a few weeks ago to see if I would be interested in trying some of her handmade beeswax lip balm, Moody Bee. Moody Bee contains nothing but beeswax that Krista and her husband collect from their own bees, and a few other natural ingredients, including peppermint.
I have been using Moody Bee for a few weeks now, and I can definitely say that it is superior in quality and feel to Burt’s Bees. It goes on oh-so-smoothly, and then seems to soak right in, while still keeping my lips moist, hydrated, and protected (definitely useful for the upcoming cooler seasons!). The hint of peppermint gives it just enough zing to be noticeable, but not enough to have you humming Christmas tunes or smelling like a candy cane. Also? Moody Bee sticks around, without sticking. It lasts for quite a while, without glopping up or becoming waxy.
See for yourself — or rather, struggle to see, since it’s a very low-key type of lip balm that doesn’t look all that obvious:
If you’re a lip balm fanatic, or you’re simply interested in seeing what all is available on the market, definitely give Moody Bee a whirl — you won’t be disappointed. You can order it directly from moodybee.com for just $5.45 — S&H included!
