I really liked this lip balm. I have been using other products from this brand, so I decided to try their lipstick too. The smell is pleasant and not overpowering. The texture is also good, it applies smoothly and moisturizes well, without leaving any unpleasant sensations (unlike other lipsticks). I particularly liked the shape, it's not like the usual horizontal shape, but angled, which is convenient. Next time, I will try the one with olive oil for comparison.
The balm is alright. It has its pros: natural ingredients, good price, neutral scent. However, there are some cons: I found it difficult to apply on my lips, it ran out quickly, and it feels uncomfortable on the lips.
The stick broke after a week of use. It turns out that it is partially hollow inside.
It moisturizes well, has no taste, and has a nice subtle scent.
Thank you to the store for the delivery.
It provides great moisturization, has a gentle fragrance (not overwhelming), and doesn't smudge. I love applying it before bed, so that my lips feel soft in the morning.
This is a wonderful stick balm for daytime use, starting from the packaging - it doesn't open by itself in a cosmetic bag or purse. The stick itself is relatively firm and won't soften in hot weather. It spreads evenly on the lips, creating a thin layer (you can layer it if needed). It works almost instantly - the dryness and flakiness that appeared from using a matte lip pencil disappeared immediately and I completely forgot about the dryness that occurred.
You can also apply it on matte lip pencils.
The scent of the balm is pleasant and sweet, reminiscent of coconut flakes. However, the scent is not noticeable after application. There was no discomfort noticed while wearing it (unless you apply it heavily, in which case you may feel the balm, but not more than that), and there was no taste or excessive fragrance.
A special thanks to the makeup store for providing the balm with excellent expiration dates, as advised by the store consultant.
