Boys Are Getting All The Good Stuff! Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm SPF 25 Review

Jack Black is the grooming label for the guy’s guy—one who likes to keep things simple yet superior, comprehensive yet not “cosmetic.” From advanced shaving solutions to complete body-maintenance products, Jack Black formulas are simple to use, fast absorbing, and multi-functional, offering multiple benefits in a single product (how manly!). With rich, distinctive packaging inspired by traditional icons from upscale liquor and cigar labels, the black-and-blue bottling adds a masculine edge to any sink side to really save face. It just goes to show that Jack Black will not only improve the quality and condition of your skin, but your overall appeal as well.

Jack Black Mint and Shea Butter Intense Therapy Lip Balm is seriously the best lip balm I’ve ever used!  It has now replaced my love for C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Balm, which has been a staple of mine for several years.  It feels soft like silk and can be worn under lip color and alone.  The texture took some getting used to because it glides so well and feels ‘cone-ie.  Surprisingly it’s free of silicones and contains shea butter, avocado oil, and vitamin E.  It also has SPF 25, which really bumped up this A+ rating.  Now keep in mind as fabulous as this lip balm is it won’t make you juicy mouthed.  It was designed for guys and it’s a tried & true squeezable lip balm that has a soft (almost natural matte) finish, which is great because it doesn’t compromise the finish of lip colors you may be wearing with it.  I was lucky enough to grab the last tube of mint and shea butter, but I was really on the hunt for flavors like grapefruit and ginger or vanilla and lavender.  Sigh…guys much be catching on.
