Better than a chapstick and suitable for everyday, unlike a lip gloss, the lip laquer balm is the one to try if you are looking for something new to wear on your lips. I think it would work in all seasons as the balm is shelf stable and uniform in color and texture.

I have this in the color 'Baroque' which is a mauve color with shine. It has some shimmer in it. This obviously provides more shine rather than the matte version. It does give you a lipgloss look but more opaque. I guess you can say it's translucent and not transparent like a lipgloss. It depends on how you want to layer it also. You can use this pencil on a more daily basis whereas the matte pencil is more dramatic.
