I like this one. It was on sale at Whole Foods so I was like why not? It really moisturizes my lips and it gives your lips that smooth feeling when you rub them together (?) haha. My boyfriend says its kinda sticky whenever I kiss him on the cheek but that's his problem! :P I don't think it's that sticky. It lasts a LONG time too. This is the first chapstick I've finished completely; I kept losing my other ones =(

I have this in Cherry and I really like it. The scent is not at all overpowering and it moisturizes well, goes on smooth, not thick and waxy like Chapstick. Plus the SPF18 is a total bonus. This is by far my favorite lip balm.

I have this in Cherry. It smells and tastes good. Like the previous reviewer mentioned it is a bit harder than regular chapstick. It is still smooth and not greasy upon application. Although it's staying power is disappointing and I find that I need to re-apply it often. Therefore I will not repurchase this product.

After being underwhelmed by Kiss My Face's balm, I didn't have great expectations for Alba's non-Petroleum lip balm. Since I've had success w/other Alba products and I'm a sucker for anything vanilla, I had to try Alba's vanilla lip balm. This turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

The scent is a true vanilla--it reminds me of vanilla extract. It's mild yet definitely detectable. It even has a slight vanilla taste, which is great. I'd be surprised if this didn't have real vanilla extract in it. There's no tint or color to it, which is fine with me, as I have loads of lip glosses and lipsticks if I want color.

It lasts a while, too, (3 hours and counting) and doesn't feel slimy or waxy. My lips do feel smoother after using this and I LOVE how it has SPF in it. Yay Alba! This is another winner.
