Review: Sevi Cosmetics Java Bean Lip Balm
What They Say: "Craving coffee? Try one of our freshly brewed vegan lip balm handmade in small batches and with protective ingredients and certified organic coffee beans!
A must have for all coffee lovers!"
Jen's Experience: I hate the thought of getting addicted to balms, and I tend to avoid them unless I absolutely have to use them. But when the weather turned colder these past couple of weeks, I just had to use something, and I was really glad I had this on hand. I received this lip balm as a full-sized sample with some Sevi products I ordered as Christmas presents, and I really couldn't be happier with it. It really works to soften up my lips and prevent the flaking that occurs, but I don't have to carry it around and constantly re-apply. I put it on in the morning and occasionally at night, and my lips are back to normal (which is always a bit dry to me, but a little I can handle). It also works well as a first layer when I'm wearing a lipstick so that it goes on more evenly. I am not a huge fan of coffee flavors in general, but if you're a coffee fan you may very well love the taste as well. Even for non-coffee lovers, you'll find the taste is tolerable I think when you see the wonders it does for your lips.
