Hated it! Felt like I was putting on solid perfume on my lips rather than lip balm. Careful with it going into your mouth cause man, it tastes like it smells. Youd think that it would be fragrance free since its for sensitive skin but its heavily scented. It's not even fruity or minty lie youd think, it's like eau de parfum type of perfumy. Weird. The tube was really super cute though.

I have very very dry flakely lips and I need a lip balm that sorts them out in minutes and takes away the drryness, lines and more importantly redness.
I have red lips naturally and it can often show up the redness in my face therefore I need to tone down the colour.

This shea butter treament is a solid white balm that is to be warmed between your fingertips and then applied to your lips. It smells nice and is 100% shea butter therefore your lips are getting a natural treatment.

It takes the drynes away from my lips and it leaves them smelly nice and looking slightly plump.

I love the small tin pot and I can reuse this again by purchasing another lip blam and spreading the contents through each pot so that I have one in my bag and one at my bedside.

This is great for anyone and paticualrly those girls that have naturally red lips.....

I've tried endless numbers of lip balms and this has got to be my favorite. It feels so smooth and moisturizing when I put it on my lips, like no other lip balm I've tried.

I usually love L'occitane, but I have to agree with the other reviewers that they missed their mark with this product. It's a colorless lip balm in a navy blue, chapstick-style twist up tube. It gets points for portability, and it works decently as a base for lipstick because it goes on lightly and isn't at all goopy, but sadly, it doesn't seem to moisturize my lips at all. They've only gotten more chapped since I switched to this from my philosophy balm. It doesn't even have sunscreen, so I wouldn't buy it again to use as a lipstick base, since I can get a clear Almay pure tints stick with a good sunscreen for 99 cents. I recommend philosophy kiss me or hope in a jar eye and lip treatment if you want a product to actually heal dry lips.

The texture of this is much too thin for me; it feels like I am just putting oil on my lips. It moisturizes a little bit, but it's gone within minutes and makes my lips feel sort of flaky. I'm not impressed.

this product is just OK. It has a nice feel, but really all that moisturizing. I find myself having to apply, and reapply it over and over again. Probably will return it and try a different one. They are really close to having a great product in this, but just not practical for having lasting moist lips.

I've recently discovered L'Occitane, and have been quite impressed with the products I've tried so far. Sigh. I had such high hopes for this. I need a good lip balm during the winter, and the consistency of this one is smooth and pleasant. So why the low rating? It tastes *terrible*. The flavour creeps into my mouth, leaving behind a bitter trail that I'm aware of all the time. Disappointing.

I'm a lippie junkie and when I came across this, I instantly bought it. I've only tried it once so far, but the scent/fragrance was too overpowering for me and it kinda just sat on my lips and wasn't absorbed...so I'm still on the fence on this one.

This is great. It has a slight scent, but not overwhelming; it feels moist but not greasy while on, and it definitely does soften lips and keep them from drying. Packaging is cute and convenient.

I get this product for free everytime i fly with Delta in a little travel kit (together with other L'Occitane products) and I love it!! My bf's family travel all the time (his dad is a pilot for Delta) and they know that this is my HG lipbalm so they always get them for me. I'm so lucky!! I always use it, morning, day and night and it is very moisturizing! It makes my lips so soft and it lasts for a long time. If I didn't get it for free, I would definetly purchase over and over again!! It has a very natural unfragranced scent that I'm not too fond of and I would have given it 5 lipsticks if it wasn't for that (but it's not very noticable). Its moisturizing qualities are amazing and that's what matters so I don't really care. I love it and I strongly recommend it!

Received this lovely balm as a gift from Loveyfly and I'm loving it. Stick presentation, similar in feel to
Kiehls Baby Lip Balm. Goes on smooth, does not feel excessively oily and has no taste. Stays on and its easy and fun to reapply. I'm keeping this one right next to my computer to apply at will. Thanks again Kristin! ;-)
