Chapstick dual ended hydration review update
I've been using my free sample of Chapstick Dual Ended Hydration Day and Night from Smiley for several days now. The formulas are pleasant enough, but nothing to write home about. I usually use all natural lipbalms, so adapting to a more synthetically derived formula was a transition. Lip balm is lip balm, I have no scientific reason for using all natural balms, I simply prefer the flavors and generally find them more hydrating. This Day and Night Chapstick is perfectly funcitonal. However, I found the "slip" of the two balms waxy, far more waxy than formulas that contain actual beeswax. Additionally, the orangey flavor of the Night side is odd, because citrus tends to wake me up, rather than soothe me, and the Day side has a vanilla flavor which is pleasant, but far more calming than I would expect a basic, daytime balm. I do however appreciate the SPF in the daytime side. And lastly, while I originally expressed concern about keeping track of a single lipbalm all day, the larger stick size actually facilitates finding it in work bags and rummaging for it in pockets.
