This is a review to compare one of my favourite lip balms, MAC lip conditioner SPF 15 vs. the stick version.
To make a long story short, I do not think they are the same product in different packaging even though the MAC website says it is (they do not provide the full list of ingredients for the lip balms to compare)
I previously reviewed the MAC Lip Conditioner (here) and my thoughts in the review still stand the same
Moisturizing
-the lip conditioner in the container format is much more moisturizing than the stick version. I actually don't find the stick version moisturizing at all - I keep having to reapply it often. And the consistency of the stick balm is thinner
Taste
-the stick version tastes slightly bitter to me although when I asked Dale for his opinion, he didn't think it tasted bitter - then again, he's a guy :P But really, Dale's sense of smell and taste is not as fine tuned as mine - he even acknowledges this
Sun Protection
-both have SPF15
Size/Price
-the stick version is 0.16 US Fl OZ (4.8 g) for $17.50 CDN
-the container format is larger at 0.5 US FL OZ (15 mL) for the same price, $17.50 CDN
Overall, I still stick to the original MAC Lip Conditioner in the container format because I find it more moisturizing, slightly better tasting (really!) and it just so happens I get more for my money (yay!)
Have you tried any MAC lip care products?
What is your favourite lip balm? (every time I ask that it seems Burt's Bees lip balm is the winning suggestion)
