I have never really seen the big deal about Softlips, and this product is no exception. While there is much that I like about it, there are a number of things that I dislike.

Firstly, the texture is slightly waxier than the regular Softlips (think a slightly softer texture to Burt’s Bees Lip Balm) due to the organic ingredients I suppose. The texture is not bad, but I prefer my lip balms to be slightly softer than this (however the fact that it is 100% organic is enough to make me endure this fact). I really like the smell – it is reminiscent of Bath and Body Works Cucumber Melon scent which I absolutely adore. The scent is not that apparent when you simply open the lid and sniff it, but when it is on your lips you can smell the scent. My main complaint about this product is the very same thing that makes it somewhat unique – the teeny tiny fits-in-your-pocket size of the lip balm itself is so cute, and I love that it fits in my pocket undetected. However this also poses a problem with application … I don’t want to say that I have big lips, but I suppose they are slightly larger than average, and the tiny nature of this product causes me to have to go around my lips several times before they are covered. Also the lip balm itself leaves a rather thin layer on the lips (which is also a drawback because normally I prefer my lip balms to be thicker). Both of these factors combined made application slightly infuriating for me, because it takes so long to apply it to my satisfaction, and thus I do not think I will purchase this lip balm in the future.

To summarize;

Likes: pleasant yet subtle scent; the fact that the tiny tube fits in your pocket

Dislikes: the slimness causes application to take longer than regular sized lip balms; the product itself is too thin on my lips

I would like to point out that this is NOT A BAD lipbalm I just find it slightly inadequate in some of the areas that are most important to me when selecting a lip balm.
