I can't believe they are still selling these... honestly. The balm is mediocre, at best, and several have flavors that are overpoweringly saccharine-like. Ever get Sweet & Low in your mouth? Same thing... ugh.
And the tinted ones, well they aren't forgiving, in the same way play-makeup for children doesn't suit anyone.
Seriously, at this ridiculous price point, save your money. You're literally paying for five little letters on the side of the cap.

As someone who hated wearing any type of balm to bed (always felt like it seeped into my entire face by morning) I tried this with major reservations... I was prepared to hate it too. Imagine my surprise when I woke up without a nasty waxy-feeling face and fully hydrated lips.
I have tried almost all flavors and noticed that some seem to work better than others, but that said they are all pretty fantastic. You know it's working when you can feel the dry skin slough off in the morning, although it is anything but harsh. I don't think you'll ever find me without a backup jar on hand.

In the past I used many, MANY harsh cleaners, toners and topical treatments to get my oily, acne prone skin under control... and always failed. Despite their claims of being medicated, etc. my skin usually ended up looking worse. Advised by my doctor to try something gentle instead, I purchased this and noticed almost an immediate difference. My troubled skin was only being further aggravated by those other products, and this soothed it completely. It removes makeup well and does not leave any type of film behind. And the larger pump lasts me a couple months, so it is actually FAR more economical than most other cleansers. Try it, you won't go back. -

I just don't understand the hype around this lip balm... it is not overly hydrating and feels quite waxy when applied. It is also extremely difficult to use all of the product without having to dig into it with spatula/finger as a good portion remains once it is worn flat and can no longer be applied directly to lips. The SINGLE upside I found with this product is that due to its packaging it is very easy to find in your gym bag or purse; you don't have to riffle around much to know what you're grabbing. Unfortunately, that isn't important enough for me to repurchase. -

I use this product year round, but it is absolutely a must have in the winter months! Non-greasy and lightly scented, it does not compete with other fragrances or weigh hair down. It absorbs quickly leaving noticeably softer smoother hair in its path. I will NEVER be without this. -
