These are cheap and cheerful products that do a good job of moisturizing. I wouldn’t say they left my lips drenched with moisture but they also didn’t dry them out as some balmy products end up doing for me.
The scent/flavour I had was inoffensive and wouldn’t polarize a crowd, in fact I barely noticed it. They also aren’t a lip ‘colour’ per se so you’d need a lipstick or gloss overtop if you wanted impact.
All in all, for $5 you can’t really go wrong. I just wish maybelline would follow covergirl and go cruelty free.
I love this lip balm. I am currently using the Anti-Oxidant Berry scent and it smells amazing and is super moisturizing. I do know some people whose lips have become super dry because of using this product so I suppose it depends on the lip type.
