I received this lip balm as part of a starter set from First Aid Beauty, and unfortunately, I was less than impressed.

My first issue is that I find the lip balm itself extremely solid, meaning that I have to rub my finger on it for quite a while before it begins to melt a bit. Like many people, I don't want to spend several minutes trying to melt and apply lip balm. Even when melted I found I was only able to get a little bit at a time, so back to rubbing to get more!

Once on my lips I thought it was just average. I've found drug store lip balms that are more effective. I do admit that it didn't make the dry lip problem worse, as some products do, but I found that the effects of this one were mostly temporary because it comes off easily.

It does work a bit better if you put it on as part of your night-time routine. When you wake up in the morning, your lips will be soft, probably because it can sit on them all night. If that's the type of product you are looking for, than this one might be for you. But if you want a lip balm on the go, I'd say buy something else lest you look like a mad-woman furiously rubbing at this thing while in the aisle of the grocery store.
