I buy a lot of high end products, and I firmly believe in "you get what you pay for" and have no problem shelling out lots of money for good products but let me tell you, this product is so overpriced. $40 dollars for basically a lip balm is what you are getting. The packaging is absolutely beautiful and that is the reason I purchased this after lusting after it online for about a year. The scent is also pleasant, almost like melons. But the product itself is just a tinted balm, not long lasting, and just underwhelming for the price. I got it in shade 9.
