This lip balm does quite a decent job at moisturizing your lips. It's not the best I've tried, but at least it's more affordable. I used this when I visited a country during winter. My friends suffered from cracked lips, but I didn't get any, thanks to this!! It has a slight orange tint (which is barely noticeable), so if you want a tinted lip balm maybe this is not for you. I also like how this is a stick and not inside a pot as it is more hygienic.

When I saw these at the stores, the cute packaging caught my attention. They only had a few shades and the only interesting one to me was pomegranate. I swatched it on my hand and I had to buy it!
The lip balm goes very smoothly on the lips and I'd say it's good at making my lips hydrated. The thing I like the most is the colour. Later I swatched other colours at the store, but this one is my favourite because it's the most noticeable.
It's a very lovely orangey shade, my lips are on the more pigmented side so the colour is quite vibrant. However, the colour intensity is definitely buildable.
If you want a tinted lip balm, I recommend you to check this one out!

I love the Born Lippy lip balm/treatments from TBS. They are super soft and smooth and lovely scents. This one is no exception. For a lip balm the staying power is pretty good. I like the packaging it's cute and functional. Lovely product overall!!

I got this product as a freebie in a "buy 2 get 1 free" offer at TBS, and I'm very pleasantly surprised!
I had a satsuma "born lippy" pot gloss before and it was.. not very good. The smell was amazing, but it was sticky, goopy, didn't moisturize, the packaging was gross, and it was overpriced.. So when I saw the new 'chapstick' packaging by the register, I thought I would try this out.

Pros:
-smells exactly like "sunkist" fruit snacks from when I was a kid!! I love this but some people might hate it
-generally doesn't have a taste
-applies super smoothly (slick almost)
, isn't greasy, has reasonable (4-5 hours with no eating) staying power
-barely barely noticeable tint (this one is a bit orangey red, but definitely transparent)
-the solid packaging eliminates any goop factor
-the packaging in general is cute, really functional, and doesn't come apart in your bag

Cons:
-no shimmer, but this isn't the worst thing, shimmers can run gritty sometimes!

Summary:
I was pleasantly surprised by this reformulation and I will DEFINITELY repurchase! Really really liked this!
