I was so excited to review the Rescue Me peppermint lip treatment by Bella Il Fiore. This product is designed to moisturize dry lips. I absolutely love the product and would purchase more products from Bella Il Fiore. This product is best used on the lips. I think it could be fun to try to use other places, but I would be hesitant to do that since the product is peppermint and sometimes peppermint oil in sensitive places is not a good thing. So my recommendation would be use it for the lips only. This is a product that you can use daily and use anywhere. People with possible reactions or sensitivities to mint should probably select a different lip treatment from this product line.

The lip treatment is creamy and goes on easily. The first time I used it I had to warm the balm up with my finger to use it, but after that initial time it is easy to use. It feels nice and smooth on the lips without being greasy or sticky. It stays on for quite a while and makes your lips quite kissable. I experimented by kissing someone and it was quite pleasant for me and the other person. It leaves your lips with a slightly velvety texture that I enjoyed tremendously.

The lip treatment is peppermint flavored, so when you open the container is smells like peppermint, but it is not overly strong. When you put it on your lips it had a nice aroma without being overwhelming. My kissing partner reported that it did not taste like peppermint and indeed when I touched my tongue to my lips it did not taste like peppermint. It did not really have a taste. I found that I enjoyed putting on on my wrists as well for some aromatherapy treatment.

The lip treatment lasts for a few hours at a time, depending on what you are doing. For example, when I was out at a bar with friends I had to keep reapplying it because I was drinking while I was out. For kissing and other activities I reapplied it as often as needed, but found that it lasted a typical length of time for any type of lip balm. If I put it on at work or the gym, it would stay on for a couple of hours and then I would need to reapply. I did not have to wash it off, but it was quite easy to remove from drinking glasses when I did my dishes. I love the smell of the product and the way that it made my lips feel. The balm lasted long enough each time I applied it and it was not messy to apply. It did not leave a mess on my fingertip and was easy to clean off when applying it. It absorbs into the skin nicely and it felt very natural on my lips and made them shiny and sexy.

The product is packaged in a container with a screw-off lid. I am one of those women who rarely carries a purse because I'm on the go a lot, and I find that purses are cumbersome. This is not a lip treatment that you can discreetly slide into your pants pocket. It is bulky and will not fit in your pocket. I found that I could tuck it into my gym bag or leave it at my desk at work and it was fine. I did occasionally leave it in my car, but once summer hits that won't be an option as it will melt. I did love that the container is recyclable, which was a big bonus for me.

The lip treatment is cooling and has a gentle tingle to it that I enjoyed.
