I picked these up at the checkout - the packaging is cute, the advertising makes them look amazing and everyone seems to have one, so I figured for four bucks what have you got to lose? Well $4 to be precise.
Don't get me wrong - it's not the worst lip balm in the world, but when something has been hyped up there's a long way to fall. And if they do, it's a bigger splat.
I picked up the menthol, it smells ok, nothing spectacular. It's the same texture as any stick lipbalm (with the exception of Hurraw!) and I've noticed it doesn't handle the cold well, it goes almost bitty after a night in the car.
I think the biggest factor is simply, it doesn't hydrate, moisturise or soften your lips. Which is kind of the point of a lip balm. Oh initially you get a smooth film of product over your mouth, but that soon disappears if you so much a utter 1 sentence, and that's that. Time to reapply.
So to sum up - it's the David Beckham of lip balm. Looks nice, lots of women like him, but really there's not much going on.
i brought a two pack of these from a makeup sale we recently had.
packaging is quite cute! i brought the blue one and the purple one you get a decent amount of product for the price, i paid $6 for 2
i found the smell of them quite 'fake' smelling, which i wasnt a fan of i find when you apply the product it feels as though your lips are caked on with an unplesent slime like formula, my lips feel even more dry compared to when i was using blistex its almose like the product drys them out so you use more of their product ? i dont know weather i just got a bad batch because everyone lovessss these but im NOT impressed with these
