    great lip balm. glides on perfectly, applies smoothly, and not greasy. but people are right, the flavors could do with some toning down and adjustments.

    I was so frustrated with my Burt's Bees, went to the supermarket and picked this up as I've always loved Softlips. I bought the bergamot one. First thing I noticed was the smell - quite overpowering and smelled like citronella. That's probably the biggest down-side. Everything else is excellent! Applies so smoothly, it slipped off my lips! Lasts much longer than Burt's Bees. Gives my lips a nice little sheen (and even a weeee bit of colour). Would definitely recommend this (but maybe in a different flavour!).

    I love Softlips PURE Naturals, but I DON'T like the flavour.

    I love Softlips Pure Naturals, but I don't like the flavour of this one.

    I like how it goes on smooth and doesn't feel sticky.
    But it tends to need to be reapplied frequently, and that's kind of annoying.

    Again, I received this through the product review club. While I loved the fragrance free product I wasn't so wild about the scent of this one so I definitely found myself using it less. I find it works just as well as the fragrance free (moisturizes well). Of course scent is a personal preference so I'd recommend this just as highly as the frangrance free version.

    Bergamot was my least favourite scent of this product. The product itself worked really well, but the scent really turned me off. The scent was very overpowering and almost felt medicinal when I put it on. This may have been linked to my dislike of the smell. Overall, great product but personally I would choose one of the other scents.

    I was excited to get to review this product as part of the product review club. And just like the other 2 flavors this was a very good product. I gave a bit more detail in my review of the citrus scent, if you check it out it's a bit more extensive on how it worked for me. As for the bergamot, very interesting smell, very light, and subtle and that is a plus if you are using it under a lipstick or lipgloss as a primer. I did find that is about the only way I can use it. But I said it once and I'll say it again, this might not be the case for everyone, each person has a different reaction to different products. Some one else might find it better to use as a stand alone. On, a final note, it's in a cute package, looks just like a lipstick tube and it's worth a try.

    If you are a SoftLips fan, you'll love this lip balm. It has all the light moisturizing of the old formula but with better ingredients. Even though it has a mild fragrance, there is virtually no taste to the product so you'll be less inclined to lick it all off. I find this especially annoying when I'm drinking something and the Fruits of the Forest taste mingles with my coffee! No problems with this product.

    Of the three I've tried (fragrance free, citrus, and bergamot), this flavor rates in the middle. I prefer the fragrance free just a little more, but would probably buy this one again if I can't find my favorite.

    Having already reviewed the other flavors of Soft Lips - I have to say that Bergamot was my least favorite scent. To be honest, I'm not really sure what Bergamot is suppose to smell like, but I found it smelled similar to ginger. It's ok - definitely not over powering. I tend to like fruitier scents so it wouldn't be my first choice.

    Scent aside, the product still works great. It keeps your lips very soft. The shape and thickness of the tube makes it easy to apply. See my reviews for the Citrus and Fragrance Free scents to see the other comments I made about the product.

    I was lucky enough to try three flavours of the SoftLips Pure product - unscented, citrus and bergamot. I actually like this one, though at first the scent reminded me of citronella candles (bonus if it actually repels skitters from my face in the woods!). The scent is vaguely "Aveda-ish", which I liked. And, like the original Softlips products, it was smooth and moisturizing without goopiness, stickiness or a waxy feeling. Definitely worth trying!

    Changed my mind. Feels good going on but find my lips are more dry after than they were before. So, the balm is a good temporary bandaid but the ingredients dry them out. I'm back to Rosebud salve and vaseline.

    I wasn't sure what to expect from the bergamot scent but I found it very mild and innocuous. What I like about this product;
    -not greasy or waxy; very nice texture that moisturizes well and has hours of staying power
    -lipstick-style shape makes it easy to apply
    -natural ingredients like shea butter, jojoba oil, etc.

    I agree with one of the other reviewers that it would be nice of the product was available with SPF.
