Gap Favorite Lip Balm's Mango Zest



With an SPF of 18, this fruity lip balm does indeed protect your lips, as well as moisturize. The scent is quite nice and edible (I wasn't so fond of it at first, but it's been growing on me), and my lips feel very smooth and soft.

Since the winter has been here, I've been dealing with these annoying flaky dry skin problems, and so this product has really been helping with that.

I first discovered it when I was in the nearest Gap, checking out my clothes. There was a huge jar full of these, and the labels were so decadent-sounding that I couldn't resist digging through them. Each name is really appetizing; there were so many to pick from, so many varieties, mostly fruity, but some were minty. In the end, I picked Mango Zest because I loved the smell of mango, and I didn't regret it.

Among other flavors, I noticed:
-Vanilla Parfait
-Tangy Pomegranate
-Banana Smoothie
-Citrus Frost
-Lemon Sugar
-Mango Souffle
-Apple Tart
-Cranberry Splash
-Guava

When I first opened it up, it was a little stiff, but it gets better and softer with each use. I've applied it on almost everyday now, and it lasts for a really long time - like up to four hours. It's also not too obnoxiously sweet-smelling (which I heartily dislike from some other lip balms), but the scent is definitely detectable. It won't bother you too much when you eat though, which is also nice.

Overall: I definitely recommend this product. It's also super easy to find. So if you need lip balm, you can consider Gap! Never would've expected a clothing store to have such a nice selection.
