banana lip balm from tony moly

PRODUCT: Banana Lip Balm

COMPANY: Tony Moly

COST: ~4,000 WON ($4)

DESCRIPTION: A sweet fruit-flavored lip balm containing banana extract, coconut oil and milk protein extract with a small keychain attached.

EXPERIENCE: I have never been one for sweet/strong fruit flavor smells, so if this wasn't a K product I probably would have skipped it. That said, this cute little balm makes lip care on-the-go more fun and gives me a burst of entertainment and nourishment for the suckers. The banana scent and flavor is distinct but not overpowering. While adorable and moisturizing, it is not incredibly long-lasting.

INGREDIENT ANALYSIS: Banana extract is far down on the list, with the other 'good' ingredients, coconut oil and milk protein extract. However, cheap ol' petroleum is the lead ingredient.

SMELL: As expected, banana. If you don't care for the flavor, skip it.

TEXTURE: smooth, probably from the mix of petroleum and coconut oil

YAY OR NAY: Nay, unless you find it cheap.

LINK: Ulta (Several times the price)
