Application onto lips is smooth and not too shiny or waxy

Overall Rating: 10/10

With so many expensive balms out there, i.e Christian Dior’s Creme De Rose or Bite Beauty’s Agave Lip Mask, I wanted to provide a cheaper alternative that still provided hydration. It is very emollient, providing a smooth application and it has a cooling sensation for chapped or sunburned lips. It provides hydration and a soothing comfort that lasts about 2-3 hours. I find myself reapplying about 2-3 times a day. I will say that this product is better used on lips that are already exfoliated because it will sink in easily. Available in 5 different scents, you can easily find a new favorite. Specifically the Grapefruit & Ginger scent is not heavily concentrated with citrus, nor is it overpowering. I personally do not smell the Ginger, but I imagine that is what is toning down the Grapefruit. It smells fresh, with a touch of tang. The applicator is a plastic angled applicator, from which the product is being dispensed. I personally use my finger to massage it in for a better effect. For the price, this is definitely a great alternative to higher end lip balms.
