Like other reviewers, I find that this doesn't absorb into my lips very well. This may sound quirky, and only true lip-balm lovers will know what I'm talking about, but when I wear lip-balm I like rubbing my lips together and feeling them slide. This one is too waxy and I can't do it while wearing this; there isn't a lot of 'slip'. I LOVE the peppermint smell though and it reminds me of ice cream. I keep putting it on my lips and pouting so I can smell it. I like that it doesn't look glossy like some lip balms and I also love the fact that it's 100% natural. That being said, I am a loyal Carmex girl and Burt's Bees just doesn't cut it for me! -

I use this every time I come out of the shower (unless in a rush!) so I have a fairly good idea of how it works for me. I have continued to repurchase this as I love the way it makes my skin feel moisturised and smooth but not sticky with left over residue, that I feel like I can't get dressed for ages afterwards. I always purchase this scent/version as it's my favourite. I always thought it smelt like coconut and caramel but my bf recently said it smells like those strawberries & cream lollies! Which now to me it does! He also made me buy him one for himself! :P This does a great job in keeping my skin soft and will continue to repurchase this -

You do get a full amount of balm with this product and it takes up the whole tube inside. At first I thought it was nothing special, but it was possibly a waxy layer to protect the balm from melting while being shipped to stores. Once you get down to the actual balm it is balmy and rich in moisture. It's not the best I've ever used. I still think original Nivea balm soaks into lips immediately, and my Carmex is a genuine must-have for night. I also love Mark Kiss Therapy because it's a serious balm that does the job. This works for mildly dry lips, and the grape does have a nice tint. However, it rubs off more easily than my favorites balms, and dry lips need to be insulated by moisture so it can nourish your lips.
