[Review] Spf Lip balm reviews

Beauty Tips For Body Care
So, I have been on a quest for the perfect lip balm with spf and thought I’d post a review of all of the products I’ve tried :) My major goal was to find one that doesn’t taste like sunscreen. I don’t know if it’s partially from breathing in when talking or what, but the taste just transfers--and I cannot deal with that sunscreen taste. I’ve tried a few brands, and recently ordered a couple more, and thought it would be useful to share my notes! https://imgur.com/7feLqPNPacifica Sun + Lipcare Mineral Lip BalmPrice: $4-5 depending on where you purchaseApplication: twist-up tubeSPF: 30SPF type: mineralColor: sheer beige (name:Nude)Scent: I think it’s technically unscented but it smells a bit nutty and sweet (ingredients include shea, coconut, and sweet almond).Tastes like Sunscreen?: Not even a little bit!Moisturizing?: Not really. The chapstick itself is really dry and is not a smooth application. It might get easier in the summer when the weather is warmer though (needs to be warmed up to apply well). Either way, once it’s on it feels more like wearing lipstick than chapstick.Softlips Lip Protectant/SunscreenPrice: $3-4 depending on where you buy itApplication: twist-up tubeSPF: 20SPF type: chemicalColor: clearScent: vanillaTastes like Sunscreen?: Yes, a little. It’s not strong, but it is there. Someone less sensitive may not mind.Moisturizing?: YesBlistex Lip VibrancePrice: $ 2.44-4 depending on where you buy itApplication: twist-up tubeSPF: 15SPF type: chemicalColor: sheer red/shimmeryScent: some kind of cheap berry smell (not too strong though). Actually, it kind of smells like flinstone vitamins lol.Tastes like Sunscreen?: Nope! NothingMoisturizing?: Meh, not really. It applies smooth, but I felt like I needed to reapply every 15 minutes.Maybelline Baby Lips Moisturizing Lip BalmPrice: $2.99Application: twist-up tubeSPF: 20Color: clear (name: 05 quenched)Scent: I don’t think it technically has a scent, but it does smell faintly sweet (almost fruity, but I can’t put my finger on it) and sunscreen-yTastes like Sunscreen?: YesMoisturizing?: Yes, but did feel like I needed somewhat more frequent application than some of the others.Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip BalmPrice: $7.50Application: squeeze tubeSPF: 25SPF type: chemicalColor: clearScent: mintTastes like Sunscreen?: No. At one point when wearing it I could get a tiny tiny tiny hint, but only because I was specifically looking for it (I was smacking my lips when testing it out lol), but the taste went away almost immediately and didn’t come back.Moisturizing?: Yes, and the mint gives a nice cooling effect.Supergoop! Fusion Lip BalmPrice: $9.50Application: squeeze tubeSPF: 30SPF Type: chemicalColor: clearScent: mintTastes like Sunscreen?: Unfortunately yes. I just bought this a couple days ago because someone recently posted about it and said it did not taste like sunscreen. The sunscreen taste is very light--but it is still there.Moisturizing?: Yes, same comment about the mint.Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Lip MoisturizerPrice: $2-4 depending on where you buy itApplication: twist-up tubeSPF: 15SPF Type: chemicalColor: clearScent: unscentedTastes like Sunscreen?: Nope!Moisturizing?: YesBonus (not pictured) I have previously tried these two, as well. I no longer have them, so couldn’t include them in the picture.Supergoop! Perk Up! Lip & Cheek TreatPrice: $22Application: lip potSPF: 40Color: sheer reddish color, can’t remember the name of the one I boughtScent: can’t rememberTastes like Sunscreen?: YesMoisturizing?: Don’t remember. I took it off immediately.Kiss My Face Sport Sunscreen Lip BalmPrice: $3-4 depending on where you buy itApplication: twist-up tubeSPF: 30Color: sheer if I remember correctlyScent: I can’t remember, but it has coconut oil in it so it might have smelled faintly like coconutTastes like Sunscreen?: YesMoisturizing?: Seemed like it, but I took it off immediately.What am I repurchasing?: Jack Black Lip Balm (higher end of the spf range, moisturizing, and no sunscreen taste)Additional notes: Though I made notes about how moisturizing the products were, none were as moisturizing as I would like. My lips get chapped very easily, so I may have to layer with my non-spf lip balm.*edit: grammar
