Oh, one of my great Etsy loves - Sweet Creek Herbal Care! I have lost count of the number of orders I've placed with this shop. Maybe over 10? Yes, I know. But it's just that great. I have never been disappointed with the products, as they're all pretty phenomenal, especially the lip balms! (Note: lip balm labels have changed since photo was taken.)
{the balm}
The balms at Sweet Creek Herbal Care are not all the same - the formulas vary depending on the flavor. I have not been disappointed with any I have tried. Some are firmer, others are creamier, and some offer more gloss.
My favorite is the formula for the Maraschino Cherry balm (one of their more popular flavors). It is soft and buttery smooth, so the balm glides on easily. I love to apply a lot because the balm has this amazing silky creaminess that feels just so darn pleasant on the lips. Also, it adds such a lovely gloss.
The wear is about average, maybe 1.5 to 2 hours. There is some great moisturizing to be had though, and is even great for applying before bed!

{flavor + ingredients}
I have tried a few more flavors, but they seem to have been discontinued recently.
Maraschino Cherry: If I take the time to really smell this, it does smell like maraschino cherries. But at first whiff, this often reminds me of Fun Dip. It's not an overwhelming scent, which I appreciate. It's kind of perfect.
Ingredients include aloe vera in coconut oil, calendula in macadamia nut oil, sunflower oil,
candelilla wax, t50 tocopherols, all natural flavor oil. Ingredients may vary depending on flavor (some have different butters).
{conclusion}
I love Sweet Creek Herbal Care, especially the Maraschino Cherry lip balm. Do you want to know just how much I love it? I am currently on my fourth tube. Never in my life have I repurchased any lip balm more than once. Now, if that's not love, I don't know what is. But there you have it. You should check out Sweet Creek Herbal Care and maybe you'll find a lip balm love... or some other loving.
