I used to use Soft Lips years ago and decided to try some new to me products. It does have light SPF so that is an upside I didn't like the pearl effect - it just didn't look right on me. I think if I were younger and not wanting a more mature look, I may have liked it more. The big turn off for me was the constant need to reapply, as it was only initially comfortable on the lips, but quickly dried down. You get what you pay for I guess.
