Interesting
I got this as a present from my sister. I think it came in a set, I don't remember. I got the red one, and I had expected it to be red as lipstick; thank goodness it wasn't. It gives a nice pink color to your lips. I was surprised it smelled a bit like an orange (or maybe that's the smell of a kiwi?), but the lip gloss is pretty nice. Thicker than most one I have come across, but it smoothes everything nicely. I prefer the other flavors better, but this product does the trick for dry, chapped lips.
Pretty good gloss
First up: I don't really like lip glosses that much, though I like the effect, but they tend to feel too sticky and many make my lips burn (and I'm not talking about plumping formulas). This one does not. The color on the tube does not come out nearly as strong as one might think: It's more of a a very pale pink, with a lot of gloss. The scent is pleasant for more (I don't like most scented lip balms and glosses, and this didn't offend me in the least). The texture feels smooth and soothing, but it's pretty slick, so it's not likely to stay on long. But in terms of lip products in a squeeze-tube, I'm pretty happy with it. I don't find any strong flavor in the prodcut, but I don't lick my lips because I don't want to taste my lipsticks and lip balms and I don't want to chap my lips by licking them and drying them out. My only wish is that the color were a touch stronger, but other than that I like it. It's nice to tote around in a pocket or purse and apply without worrying about it getting sloppy (though if you squeeze out too much it will be gloopy on the lips). Price-wise, $10 is a bit steep for what it is, and if I want a plain old lip balm, I prefer Burt's Bees honey balm, because I find that really soothing, and more than half the price of this, but again, this product offers a nice shine and I think it feels good. Plus, I find I really enjoy putting it on top of another lipstick, to give it a bit more smoothness and lightness. I have one really great color I found at beauty supply chain that applies too dry, and a swipe of this on top of it makes my lips feel better and gives the too-dry stuff a nice boost of shine and an added hint of pink. It's versatile in that respect, which I like.
great balm with bad taste
The balm is really good in terms of softening my lips, but the taste is a bit disgusting. If you don't mind the taste during the fist 1/2 hour, is a great lip balm.
