I am so disappointed. This stuff totally dried my lips out! I don't know why, because I've checked the ingredients first and they seemed ok. But it just doesn't work for me.
I have this in watermelon and the scent is awesome - too bad I can't use it on it's own. Will probably apply it over lipsticks, to add some shine. Will not repurchase. Gave it 3 lippies just for the scent.

I love the flavor of these balms (they have different fruit extracts in them) -- sweet and slightly sugary. They also smell lovely (I have strawberry and exotic passionfruit). However, as others have said they are not moisturizing. I am still looking for an HG flavored lip balm (Bonne Bell is too waxy, MAC lipglass tastis are nice but are a gloss and not a balm so no moisture there either). Will probably not repurchase.

I have both mandarian and green apple. I love the smell/taste on both. True to the fruit. Subtle color, not sticky or heavy. Just overall some of my favorite lipbalms.

Glossy, tasty, and inexpensive. Great stuff! I used to use this in Mandarin Orange when skiing, but would have to reapply on the lifts because it was so yummy. There are better *balms* out there, but this is fun, especially for teens.

Extremely occlusive balm that smells heavenly but does nothing to hydrate. Still got chapped lips after using a generous amount overnight, and it just stifled my skin. Got the strawberry which is once of the best scents ever. Hate the jar packaging. I still prefer formulations with shea butter, like the MMU SheShe lipbalms - it's in a stick, plus you can choose the scent!

My cousin just bought this for me on a recent trip 2 the body shop. It was on a special bargain price: 3 for $15, which seems a bit much but this stuff is worth every penny. She kept the Strawberry and Mandarina, but gave me the watermelon one (she knows im addicted to watermelon ANYTHIN). This stuff smells soo yummy...i jus wanna eat it. The balm itself is more like a gloss really, very shiny, but extremly moisturizing. I had the strawberry one b4 but the watermelon one seems much more emollient. Hmm. The balm is nice and thick (but not disgustingly so) so it stays on for quite a while. ALso,I wish it came in a tube instead of a tub...my only concern with this is using this in the summer. O.O

This is one of my favorite lip balms. It smells delicious, moisturizes well and gives a hint of color. And it's not too pricey. I definitely recommend this lip balm !

I love these! They are really glossy and smell wonderful. However, they do not last very long and can be a bit drying. I wouldn't use these as a daily moisturizer, but definitely use this for those days when I'd rather wear gloss than lipstick.

I was drawn to try these b/c I loved how smooth and soft the texture was. I got two of them, strawberry and exotic passionfruit, b/c they were 2 for $7.50 (rather than 1 for $5). Both of them smell nice and have pleasant, mild sweet flavors. They also have decent shine-quality. My two complaints about these is that they're not nearly as moisturizing as I'd hoped they'd be, and they wear off fairly quickly. I really do prefer for my lippies to be emollient and somewhat longlasting, so I won't be purchasing anymore of these.

I have last strawberry and unbriddled passionberry which I like better. I use these as lipglosses rather then lipbalms. They don't do much for lipcare, actually they don't do anything. However when used as a clear lipgloss they are very glossy and smell awesome. So if you want these keep in mind that they won't soothe your chapped lips or anything. They are fun, I want to collect all! =)

I swear by this lip gloss in Strawberry, it's one of my all time favourite beauty products. The scent it AMAZING, it smells just like strawberries, not the usual synthetic smell. It leaves just a hint of color and will DEFINATELY be a product that I have with me at all times.

i am a huge fan of lip glosses that give a nice shine and smell great! :) This was one! It doesnt leave a sticky feeling on your lips, just soft supple lips with a pretty shine! The price is pretty good too! The only down part is sticking your finger in the pot, not the best for on the go, but i still love it! :)

Its smells really good and it has a decent moisturizing factor. Not too shiny which makes it a pretty basic lip balm, though I would say there are better ones out there. Major rant for the pot it comes in. Dipping your finger in in then rubbing it allover your lips and repeating it over again isn't the most hygienic thing.

The smells are heavenly. Try passionfruit and strawberry. Yummmmm. I hate lip balm in pots, but this ones has a hard consistancy and I guess it's unavoidable. It leaves your lips shiny yet moisturized, the perfect combination!!

I have these in Passionfruit and Mango Peach. They both have delicious (and strong!) smells.
Although they initially make my lips look full and glossy, they have no staying power (like less than a hour) and their moisturizing qualities are negligible. Won't be a repurchase.

I wonder why so many lip balms come in pots because it means dipping your possibly dirty finger in, but anyway, this is too thick and too shiny. It's okay at best.

I have this in Last Strawberry. I must admit that it gives a lovely gloss at first, but after a few minutes it severely dehydrated my lips. My lips are extremely dry and sensitive, so if yours are normal, you might love this. I also don't like the scent (too sweet) and the jar package (dipping fingers in grease... ugh) My sis bought me this and I won't purchase.

I got this in mandarin orange and passionberry/fruit (too lazy to go check what it's actually called). mandarin orange smelled great in store. got home and was crap. ew, do not get that one. the passionberry one is wonderful though. i have to admit, i'd reconsider getting this purely b/c of the passionfruit scent. yum. doesn't particularly TASTE like it but the smell is enough. it's pot packaging, so it's gross, of course. there's a shine but no color. it was 2 for $7.50. but like i said, i'd buy just for the delish flavor. yum.

This is an overpriced lipbalm, that does not moisturize very well. Yes, it smells and looks great but for the price, I was expecting better quality. The texture is thick and does not absorb well into lips. Will not buy again.
