I really like this product. It's pretty thick but not very sticky and it's pretty tenacious on my lips. It's great in cold weather. It's scented like mango or apricot or something but the scent doesn't linger and it isn't flavored. It isn't very moisturizing and is better used as a barrier against the elements. It comes in a tube with a slanted tip applicator and the cap has a plug in it so that it doesn't leak (genius). I've never tried using this on my cuticles but I don't think it would do much for them as it isn't very moisturizing.

beautiful shine (on par with gloss) and nice peachy scent. no stickiness at all and a great moisturizer. i can't say with total assurance that it is worlds apart from a drugstore lip balm in terms of fixing chapped lips, but it works, and it is certainly lip balm chic.

this is a very basic lip balm, nothing special. My main problem is that it didn't do any moisturizing for my dry and chapped lips. Definitely not worth the worth the $$

Love it! Been using this for 3 yrs now and it really helps my dry lips, even in cold, windy winters :D The glossy shine is perfect and it smells so yummy and tropical, something like mango and peach mix. I'm gonna use this for life

A GREAT lip balm that I have bought over and over. I would never use this on my nails as it's too good for them! This is the perfect balm if you are looking for something that is still on your lips in the morning after being applied before you go to sleep at night. Highly recommended. Plus I love the fruity smell and the shine it gives off.

Maybe the best lipbalm i've ever bought. Unlike lots of other lipbalm, this YSL allows me to apply it very thinly, so that I don't feel it on my lips at all, yet at the same time, it deeply moisturizes my lips and protects them against the elements. It also helps that it really tastes yummy.
Yes, the price is not what could be considered to be cheap, but given the fact that it does it's job brilliantly, I would definitely repurchase.

An emollient lip balm with a transparent, glossy finish. Intensely hydrating. Colour payoff is sheer to minimal. An excellent pick-me-up for dry lips.

I decided to treat myself to this fancy, expensive lip balm after all the hype I have heard about it for ages in all my fashion magazines. I have to say that for me it lived up to the hype and then some. I just am so in love with everything about it! The color of it in the tube- reminds me of of the fresh summer apricots it smells like. It tastes and smells so lightly of apricots; it's not overpowering or annoying like some lip balms can be. It goes on clear- YLBB. It just feels luxe and fancy on my lips. I keep re-applying it throughout the day to an obsessive amount. I think it's my new summer lip balm staple. The price is high but well worth it in my opinion (I have never ever used up any of my lip balms), I think this will last me for quite a long time. It is also a double-duty product because it works for your nails as a cuticle balm, but since my cuticles are fine its just a lip balm for me.

This is a very nice lip balm that brings long-lasting moisture. I love how it also looks wonderful as a gloss without the excess stickyness and its pleasant mango scent. A bit pricey but if you're up for a splurge you won't be dissapointed!

I got this when my lips were in an hour of desperate need, but alas this didn't fulfill their needs. Ultimately, this wasn't moisturising - if anything it actually felt drying in the long run. When I'd apply it overnight, I'd wake up with flakey lips always. I dont mind the smell, it's a subtle mango fragrance, but it just isn't moisturising as it claims. If anything, I find this more to be a gloss. It has a similar texture to gloss, gives loads of shine, but has zip moisturising properties (which is interesting, since many of my glosses do moisturise my lips more). I'm very dissapointed with this product. For tinted balm, I'll definitely be sticking to my Stila Lip Pots - no fragrance, pretty colours, and they leave my lips feeling smooth and soft - *that's* a lip balm!

This product saved my lips. Nothing was working until I tried this. I made it through the bitter cold New England winter without any chapping at all thanks to this lip balm. The cost may seem high, but my first tube lasted over eight months. I think it was because I only had to use it once in the morning and once at bedtime. My lips felt great between applications, so I didn't have to reapply during the day. Worth every penny. I just got a new one. I tried using something else before opening my new tube and it was a huge mistake. My lips were a mess. I've learned my lesson. Nothing else compares. This product is wonderful!

Tried this today at the counter on my lips.I gotta tell you that it's quite bad especially for the price.It smells kinda like melon but in a way too yucky way.The texture is weird,not exactly smooth but kinda bumpy like old stuff.It's supposed to be tinted,but there's no hint of color in it.And it's also supposed to be moisturizing but this just isn't.I think it's quite silly to make a product for both lips and nails.Sounds silly and quite disgusting to use the same product for such different parts of body.

After falling in love with the tinted lip balms, it was only natural I'd try this. Unfortunately though, it only temporarily moisturised my lips, and would soon make them even more dehydrated than before I'd put it on. Whilst using this my lips went from normal and smooth, to dry and chapped. Very disappointed.

The smell is absolutely wonderful and it leaves the prettiest sheen on my lips! And when you compare how much product it has, it's cheaper than Clinique's Superbalm! Only one problem - it's just not moisturizing enough for those bitter-cold winter days. Perfect for summer, okay for winter. Would buy again for the smell and the sheen.

I hate to be a bubble-breaker, but this didn't do it for my sensitive dry lips. It's a beautiful tube with a fantastic pungent apricot smell, and it left a pretty sheen on my lips, but it didn't do the moisturizing job that BBW's Wet Your Whistle did for me - which I received as a generous swap extra as opposed to the $34 CAN this balm cost me. I wanted to love it but the constant need for re-application and the mediocre job it did on my lips left me wanting more.

Good stuff. Makes my lips super soft and smells really yummy. When i dont have any hand lotion with me, i rub some of this around my cuticles so they won't feel so dry. If i ever run out of this i would buy it again. It is expensive but deffinatly worth it.

This lipbalm is sooo lovely. It really helps my dry chapped lips to get soft. I especially like the yummy taste and smell of mango in this balm, a lot of lip products has a smell or scent that makes me turn them down. I have also tried this on my dry cuticles and it works great. The product comes in a nice see through squeeze tube and the colour of it is almost clear but with a hint of apricot, looks totally natural on the lips and gives a nice glossy finish too. The formula is non sticky but lasts well on my lips anyway.

This is a great moisturizing lip balm. My lips just feel so moist and smooth when i wear this.It stays on for a while and my lips felt soft and silky after it came off.I also tried it on my nails and dry cuticles before i went to bed. When i woke up i noticed that my nails were smoother and my cuticles were beggining to heal. I love this stuff, i will deffinately be repurchasing. Im even thinking of getting the tinted version!!
