Anyone who loves lip balm and has checked out the lip balm section at Whole Foods knows how overwhelming it can be to look at ALL the available lip balm. On one of my trips to Whole Foods I actually decided to pick up the Whole Foods brand lip balm along with some other non-store brand lip balm.
Company: Whole Foods Market
Flavor: Pomegranate Orange. This flavor is phenomenal and much better than I was anticipating. You can definitely sense the presence of the tart pomegranate with a light scent of citrus. It's pretty fragrant but not at all overbearing.
Wear: It's very slightly stiff at first, but quickly gives way and is very smooth. It goes on great with adequate coverage. It goes on a little thinner than usual balms but it's not necessary to have more, it does the job! There's really no complaints here, it lasts about an hour and a half to two hours which is great.
Packaging: The size of the tube is the usual size. The tube is white with a dark red label with a little bit of orange, very pomegranate and orangey. It has a picture of both fruits. Not too much to say in this department; it's an adequate label.
Price: I think it was a little over $2.00. I can't remember the exact price.
Overall:
Pros: Flavor, Price, Wear, Packaging, Organic
Cons: Nothing
Rating: 4 out of 5 twists. This is a great balm but not my go-to balm, I usually carry it as a spare.
Have you ever tried Whole Foods Market brand lip balm? What flavors have you tried and what did you think?

A while ago my friend, who I'll refer to as L from now on, bought me a couple lip balms for no reason, she just saw them and thought I didn't have them and surprised me with them. One of those balms was this one. She's the best! She's always finding me cool new lip balms that I've never heard of before. I believe a good portion of my lip balm collection is from her. Love ya, L!
Company: Aubrey Organics
Flavors: Raspberry. This is on the stronger side of the scented spectrum for balm. It's very raspberry like and very sweet and a little tart scented. If you like fruity balms this is probably one you'd like to try.
Wear: It goes on pretty smooth and covers evenly. It lasts about two hours which is a pretty decent amount of time. Not a lot to complain about or boast about here.
Packaging: It's your average sized lip balm tube with a redish pink cap and a similar colored label. It's a pretty distinctive looking tube compared to others in my collection.
Price: About $3 which is fabulous for an organic balm that lasts.
Overall:
Pros: Accurately scented, wear, packaging, price, organic
Cons: Nothing really
Rating: I'd give this balm a 3.5 out of 5 twists, there wasn't really anything wrong with it at all it just wasn't exactly my cup of tea. I'd really like to try the other flavors, it may just be that it was a raspberry flavor and I seem not to enjoy those ones as much as other flavors.
