I like this as much as the My Favorite Night Balm, although the ingredients are obviously of the 2 are quite different, but other than the lemon scent I cannot feel any difference between the 2. My lip felt comfortable & plump,without the waxy feeling of the stick type of lip balm.

I absolutely adore, adore, ADORE this lip balm!

It smells and tastes amazing! Not to sweet and not to sour, sort of like a lemon tart.


I love this lipbalm for any day!

HG lip gloss. I only wear gloss or balm on my lips, but I MUST have some on at all times. The taste and smell of this product is phenomenal if you like lemons. I only switch to C.O tinted mentha lip glosses if I want a bit of color to go out. I have about 3 tubes of this for my car, purse, and work, and also a couple tubes of the lemon lip balm on my nightstand and makeup bag. I will always have these in stock and have a backup supply b/c that's how much I love them! Kinda pricey, but I get them at BBW and they almost always have some sort of lip gloss sale. It's soft and buttery and smooth. yum!

I LOVE this lip cream. I'm not really big on lip glosses, lip balms... lip anything. Bought this on a whim and I fell in love instantly. The texture is creamy but liquid-like and doesn't give you crazy shine like a lip gloss which is a big plus for me! It is very hydrating and it stays on for quite a while. The lemon scent/flavor is not overpowering at all -- a very subtle scent that's pleasant and delicious! If and when the day comes that this product gets discontinued... I'd immediately run out to buy at least 10+ more!!

Tastes sweet and lemony but not too artificial. Feels smooth and hydrating. Shiny, but not sticky or unnatural. Everything you want in a lip treatment. Seems expensive, but the tube lasts a long time and you can usually catch a two-for-one sale.

I am a sucker for anything lemon-related; a lemony scent is a sure-fire way for perking me up.
First off, the packaging is adorable. I love lip products in squeezy tubes! It ensures I can get every bit of product out, and the label on the yolk-yellow tube is so pretty.
As for the product, it's very moisturizing! It's one of three lip balms I use on my lips before I go to bed. I wouldn't call it a 'cream' per say, it's a little more watery than that, but nothing as thin a a serum. It spreads very evenly and the scent is out of this world. It's a sort of...lemon meringue pie scent? It's lemony, but there's a sweetness behind it. It's very comforting.

This is a great product - a cross between a lip balm and a lip gloss. Smells delicious and tastes fresh and clean.

LOVE THIS!! This is a really good lip treatment!! It's mainly almost a liquid more than a balm on the lips. The taste and smell is spectacular! I usually put this on my lips before bed. I massage it into my lips so that it moisturizes more, because if not it will sit on your lips like a gloss. When I get up in the morning, my lips are still smooth from overnight, which is great. The only bad issus that I have with this is that it leaks out of the tube and I have to stand it up in my lippie basket otherwise when I go to open it I will have to wipe around the edges because of the spillage (as I've had to do with it before). Also, the price to me is a bit too high. I'm glad that I got this for free with a coupon for any lip product from BBW, because although I love it, I can't imagine paying almost $8 for it. I hope this never goes away.

I love this lip cream! Creams usually work better for me than those waxy balms. This is very moisturizing, plus the hint of lemon just smells and feels good on dry lips. It's shiny so it seems like you're wearing some lip gloss. I use lip creams on nights that I feel dry and I wake up with nice, plump, smooth and sumptuous lips. Love it!

I love lemon products, especially if they smell like real lemons. This lip cream smells of lemon rind, which is where most of the lemon oils and scent comes from. If you like lemons or citrus you will love this. There is no tint and it's not sticky so your hair does not get stuck to it. It's a cream that feels like lip balm once it's on your lips.

pros:
- smells like real lemon
- no weird or bitter taste, it's sweet (but you still should not lick it lol)
- light creamy texture that is easy to apply and feels light on lips
- lips are moisturized and soft after absorbtion
- packaged in a tube

cons:
- price. Though it works well and is delicious $7.50 is a bit much
- I would prefer a smaller aplication tip


I love it and already bought a second during one of BBW's lip stuff sales(buy 2 get or 3 for $14). There is also a stick version but I would try this one first.

I'm a lip balm girl-- I need them because my lips always dry out and chap unless I have something on them. This is a notable specimen in my fine collection of lip stuff for a couple of reasons. On the outside, I think it's adorable and not cheap feeling or looking. The packaging is functional, gets a little grimy cause the tube is matte, not shiny. I love all sweet things lemon-- lemon meringue, lemon bars. The scent and taste reminds me of those goodies : ) The texture is smooth, not too thick or watery and maintains moisture on lips in good condition. When you're lips are cracked and sore feeling, this is not the balm to use. If you want healing, I like Neosporin overnight treatment in the white pot. but back to this lemon goodness. The ingredient list makes this balm feel luxurious-- there are essential oils from lemons, ceramide 2 to smooth the lips, peptides to plump, sodium hyaluronate to moisturize. I'll definitely repurchase, it's a good bargain (at 0.5 oz, this tube is not wimpy) and they usually have buy two get one free deals. I'm going to buy these for my two sisters for Christmas. and get one free for myself! : )

I am in love with the Bath and Body works lip shines, they are so much fun, wearable, and totally affordable. I have quite a few tubes but I love this one the most. It smells great, like lemon but not too astringent or 'zingy' so it's not like cleaner; it almost smells like a lemon dessert. My favourite scent would be the vanilla one, but I love this for the texture. My lips are really dry and without maintenance they are gross. Most lip glosses are thick and feel super uncomfortable, they don't sink in, etc. This is light and moisturizing and comfortable. It gives a moderate shine and remarkable softness. Love!

The packaging is super cute and a bit vintage-y and the tube is always a plus. It's bright yellow so it's easy to find in my purse, too! For $7.50, it's heavier on the wallet than something I'd normally spend on a balm but I thought it smelled so good, what the heck. It wasn't especially moisturizing, actually less than most things I use but it tastes really good and adds an extra-moist look over lipstick. I might repurchase if it were cheaper, but nothing I can't do without.

This leaves your lips so moisturized! I also love the smell and taste because they are so lemony. I also have noticed that this product stays on your lips for a very long time. The only thing I don't like is that it is very watery. This is perfect for someone with dry, cracked lips!

Lovely smell (if you like lemon) and great shine with a creamy texture. Its like vaseline but less stick, supersmoother, and not greasy at all. The best thing is its SUPER MOISTURIZING. I put it on at night and the next morning my lips are SO SOFT. I got it for buy one get one free so it was a pretty good deal but any old lip balm would have done that. However, this one can double as a lipgloss becasue its so smooth and shiny.

This is a must-have, especially for summer. Tube lasts for quite some time! (there is .5 oz in every tube, which is more than most lipglosses or creams.... even the more expensive ones.) for those who are too in love with lip gloss to simply use chap stick, and hate to have to have steps for applying (first, you do this, second, you do... ect.) this is just perfect. Moisturizing and semi glossy, depending on the amount you put on, this is the balance of everything. Not to slick, not to sticky, not too thick, and not too runny. The flavor is a plus, too. :D

For me, this is a great product for spring and fall, when my lips need extra moisture but aren't chapped. This wasn't moisturizing enough for winter, but I live in a very cold, windy climate. I'm really enjoying it at the moment, though! It's not sticky at all, and it just has a little bit of shine. I like the lemon scent. It's sweetened, which I don't generally like, but it's not overly sweet. I like that the tube has a slanted applicator on the end. However, I am still working at squeezing with proper pressure to get just the right amount of product out. That has taken some practice!

Pricewise, I think the lip cream is a fairly good deal if you buy during the BBW semi-annual sale or a buy 2, get 1 free deal. I would buy it on sale, but I don't think I'd pay full price for it.
