 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.
