I don’t know why I bought this because I am soooooooo particular about my lip balm! I was shocked to find that this is now what I find myself reaching for whenever it’s accessible....and I get this tinge of excitement as I’m about to apply it. It is extremely moisturizing...perhaps shinier than I was using, but the aroma and smooth consistency helped me to overlook that and now I have come to love the sheen, too. I need to share this with my friends & family!
