Lasting results, nourishing!
I was a bit surprised by this balm. It's a beautiful packaged natural color lip balm in pot form. The lid opens to reveal a jade or stone applicator - very lux feeling. Then the entire lid opens to reveal the potted balm. It seemed thick and I assumed it was going to be sticky or gunky feeling. It was not! It feels nourishing and comfortable to wear. It's not sticky and I didn't feel the need to reapply often. Love it!
This is lovely
This is such a lovely lip treatment! From packaging to performance, it is a joy to use. The shade "Bare" is such a nice, neutral to slightly cool-toned nude on my lips which I really, really like. It is also very nourishing and comfortable to wear. I usually put it on while I apply makeup as a prep for whatever lip I'm going to wear in the end, but it would do beautifully as the final lip look as well with or without a liner. I am impressed.
So good
I have tried many a lip mask/lip treatment type of product on the market and this one is definitely one of my favourites. Has a very calming and repairing effect beyond just hydrating, which is very unusual. I use it almost daily and definitely does what it says. Especially a godsend while traveling.
Overpriced for formula but the smell/taste reminds of addicting vanilla ice cream
I wasn't impressed by the formula (for the price, it's still pretty nice, but not better than many other 15$+ lip treatements, Ole Henriksen is better feeling wise). Also daytime it does not last on my lips/wears off too quickly from moving lips. So I use it overnight, then it lasts till morning.
But the smell/flavor it has is so intoxicatingly good, I initially didn't find it special at all, but it really grew on me. I keep it by the bed and it's the lip treatment I can't wait to use every evening (from all other lip products I have).
So formula is 2-3/5, but the smell is just 6/5.
