Isoi Intensive Energizing Multi Balm

Last year, I went through a stick balm phase and tried a bunch of different ones from different brands, the first of which was this 10g twist up tube of Isoi Intensive Energizing Multi Balm.

I just found them incredibly convenient, thanks to their multi-purpose function. Now I stashed a stick everywhere: on my nightstand, in my car (which was constantly at risk of melting in the summer heat, but I digressed), in my kitchen, in my bag, in my gym bag, in my computer bag, in my travel bag. Of course these weren't all the same stick balm, of course. For example, the one I kept on my nightstand must be super moisturizing because I apply it whenever and wherever needed: my eye area, my cheeks, my lips, my cuticles, even my elbows and knees. 

 

This Isoi Multi Balm fit the bill, because it was indeed very moisturizing. I don't know what they meant with "energizing" though, because it had an herbal scent, if a touch spicy. Whereas when I see "energizing," I almost always think of something citrusy. And unless I missed something, there wasn't any caffeine or anything like that in the list of ingredients. Actually, now that I thought about it, this Multi Balm looked, smelled, and felt almost identical to Dr. Hauschka Lip Care Stick. So basically, I paid $19 for a giant 10g stick of lip balm ^.^ But hey, it's good for travel! Will not repurchase, but only because I want to try other things.
