I had very high hopes for this balm. It seems that my lips are always dry and that makes them look shriveled up and colorless. I saw the ingredients on the package and the rave reviews and bought it. The problem, for me, is that this balm might have an unintentional exfoliant or irritant in it. I have it in the black tea version and I apply it at night (in the day it doesn't seem to be very effective, or effective at all.) Now, whenever I wake up after having lip balm on all night the skin on my lips rolls away when I use my finger or a tissue to rub it off. This did the same thing but my lips were a little gritty and dry. The right-side edge of my top lip tingled for hours after I woke up. It felt like it had scabbed a little bcus I couldn't move the skin freely without a tight feeling. I don't know if it's the line or just the specific type I bought but there is an irritant or exfoliant that bothers my skin. I would default to carmex on a lazy day but the absolute BEST way to moisturize your lips doesn't include a balm at all:

After brushing your teeth (or washing your face, just make sure your lips are a little damp) apply an ample amount of 100% coconut oil to your lips. Follow up with a generous topping of lipgloss or petroleum jelly. This is the only use I have for petroleum jelly (other than a makeshift highlighter on the tops of my cheekbones.) It creates a barrier and the oil has no place to go besides your lips. It also keeps the oil or the water still in your skin from having it washed and the oil from evaporating. It's seriously the best way to take care of your lips. It's a hassle sometimes but if you keep a little tub of each next to your bed you'll be good to go.

I bought all the flavours in this lip balm from Sephora. It is moisturizing for sure, unlike most stick lip balm which just lubricate the surface. What I most like about it is it is matte, it is not shiny, it is not glossy. I truly detest lip gloss, even if I am a woman, I will never wear gloss, and equally awful lip-lacquer or lip vinyl, looks like a drooling monster.

i am a bona fide lip balm addict and have been going through a serious "dry" spell in terms of a good product. i've tried everything in the drug store (chapstick, eos, carmex, etc.), while my last attempt was dr. bronner's organic. i was still having bad flaking/peeling, especially if i tried to wear lipstick at all, so i started scouring MUA and - voila! - found this gem. seriously, after 1 day, my lips are back to normal. the price is not ideal ($8 per tube), but i have found i don't use as much as i did with a regular balm. i am trying the vanilla/lavendar, but there are mint and a grapefruit flavors too.

The first day I bought this from Sephora I was super excited to try it out. And i did like it at first. It seemed to sink right into ur lips and last very long. After using it for a week, however, my lips dont feel nourished anymore. This just feels like a coat of wax on top with a minty smell. Dont fall for the hype guys. Its too expensive for a tiny tube of gunk resembling inferior-quality petroleum jelly. Buy a tub of vaseline instead and u wont notice the difference. Infact itll probably moisturize ur lips better. The packaging isnt great. The slanted tip isnt my favourite type of applicator. I read a few reviews that claim this product uses some controversial ingredients. So i'd want to look into that too. Definitely not buying this again.

I initially got this lip balm for free when I bought other products from Macy's. I wasn't so sure about it until I used it. It's amazing! This lip balm is so hydrating and it really feels like it's protecting my lips. Also, I'm loving the variety they have. I don't love the taste, but I do love the smells! Would recommend this product to anyone who suffers from chapped/dry lips!

Loving it! I'm a lip balm hoarder and have everything from rose bud lip salve, Chapstick, Burt's bees, carmex in a stick/squeeze tube, eos, blistex, etc...and this is definitely my favorite. My lips can become very dry and flaky at times and this works the best for me. I love how waxy this stuff is and how it smooths out my lips after wearing it long enough.

Simply amazing! From the girl who has almost EVERY lip balm known to human kind, Jack Black is the only one that's ever actually worked. I've had cracked, flaky lips for the past 6 months and this transformed my lips in less than 3 days. I am so excited to be wearing baby pink lipstick again, without my lips looking nasty! I purchased the grapefruit and ginger, but plan to purchase the multi-pack from Sephora this weekend. I also plan to throw all of the other lip balms I have...in the trash. Not even kidding.

Wow. Most lip balms I've tried don't really moisturize all that much and only act as a placebo once they're on the lips. This actually makes a difference in my lips softness when the product is all rubbed away. That's... kind of rare for me. It was a super pricey little tube, but it's almost gone, and I am happy that I am pleased enough with a product to want to repurchase.

This is a great, moisturizing balm...I feel like I finally foun something for my lips that actually heals them instead of drying them out - I use it every day and it never dries out my lips..excellent for use after exfoliation..I plan to purchase several more

I love this lip balm. Yes, compared to most lip balms, it is quite expensive but worth the money. I only need to use this lip balm once and my lips are good for the day. I have this in mint and grapefruit and they are both very pleasant scents. I highly recommend.

I love this lip balm. I've only had it on a few hours and I've noticed a huge difference in my lips. I have the lemon chamomile flavor. It's nice because I've heard the mint one has that mentholated tingly thing going on that I really can't stand. It beats fresh's sugar lip treatment by a mile. And I even like it better than Burt's bees tinted lip balms, which has been one of the few lip balms I've been able to use with regularity. The only other lip balm I've tried that might have been better was Crabtree & Evelyn's grapeseed pomegranate lip butter. Which is excellent. If Crabtree and Evelyn still had brick and mortar stores I would never have tried this stuff, but I'm very happy I did.
UPDATE: not that this product isn't good, but neosporin's daily lip therapy is even better. I also like the neosporin texture better, too. And it's cheaper, AND I don't have to trek out to sephora.

bought this in a pack with four different scents, grapefruit & ginger, Shea butter, mint, and acai vanilla. I loved all of them but the acai one, which I gave away to a friend. When I first tried these balms I was not crazy about them at all, but now that I've used them more I'm happy to say that I am in love! the only thing i would even think of changing about them is the lasting power, I find that I need to constantly reapply, one tube lasts me only about a week, which can get costly. overall though I would repurchase over and over again!

Was in an attempt to find a holy grail lip balm, and this did not meet my standards. I purchased the lemon and chamomile version, and it smelled of bubblegum. Wasn't moisturizing, too expensive for the amount. Not worth it.

I FOUND IT! I found the product that will soften my lips without being too greasy and sticky. This product is amazing. The saleswoman at Sephora told me that it was sticky and that I should try something else but I stuck to this one and boy am I glad!

You just a little layer of this wonderful smelling lip balm (mine is lemon) and it moisturizes and leaves your lips all baby soft and kissable. The packaging is sanitary. No need to dip your finger in a tin (like the rosebud salve which I use to love).

I am definitely buying this again and again. It is kinda pricey (9$) compared to drugstore lip balms but it's definitely worth the money. LOVE IT!

This is bank for anyone looking for something to heal and preserve the moister of your lips, especially in this long winter. I added it to my Sephora cart on a whim. I am so glad I did. It has an almost oil texture but not runny. Very slick and not sticky. It is mentholated so it gives a tingly sensation. It doesn't taste very good but it's not intended to. It's magical. I fell in love with it. It is not comparable to other mentholated products like the bigelow ones or carmex or anthing like that. I lost mine and now I'm sad. I will repurchase over and over and over again. My bigelow merry mentha is not even close to living up to it and that's what I've been using :C

I absolutely love this lip balm. I love trying new products, especially lip balms, but I always have and always will come back to this baby. I have this in Blackberry & Black Tea. It's so lovely and moisturizing. I put this on during the day and when I'm getting ready for bed. A good exfoliating and some of this and you're set. I cannot boast about this enough. If you're looking for you holy grail lip balm, try this, you will not be disappointed!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product. I'm a lip balm junky and have tried many brands out there, cheap or expensive, this is by far the best! I love the fact that it doesn't feel to0 heavy on my lips and yet keeps them moisturized. I sometimes forget I'm wearing it. One thing I don't like is how tiny the tube is. Wish they could make a larger one but keep the price. For someone who has really dry lips year round, this is the product for you!

Oh my god, after years and years I have finally found my HG lipbalm! I'm a lip balm junkie with extremely dry lips, so I've tried pretty much everything out there. I have this in both Lemon and Mint (gotta love the duo pack at Sephora!) and the Lemon smells like meringue pie to me, yum! This glides on beautifully then sinks right into the lips. I can go all day without applying more which is unheard of. The only downside? My tube seems to have vanished (I'm looking at you, mom) and no other lip balm can compare for me now!

I AM IN LOVE!. I have SUPER dry flaky lips. I've never found a lip balm that would actually moisturize my lips for a long period of time and take that away. Until ofcourse, i tried this product! i've heard so many great reviews so I thought i'd give it a try. I am so happy i did, i bought the tea&blackberry flavor, and although i don't really care for the smell, the product moisturizes my lips like no other. I want to purchase more but i know i won't be done with this tube for a while!

this works great for intense hydration of extremely chapped lips! in addition to the cold weather, i've been sick for the last few days ... the combination turned my formerly smooth lips into a hot mess (chapping, peeling and flaking). i slapped some of this, and after one application my lips were back to being smooth! it goes on thick but doesn't feel heavy on the lips. it has SPF 25 for added sun protection but doesn't have any discernible sunscreen taste or texture. it comes in a sanitary squeeze tube with a slanted tip that makes it easy to apply. it comes in a variety of scents and has no color. my only little gripe is that as it fades on the lips, there can be some slight residue left behind... it doesn't show up visually, but if i swipe my hand across my lips, it comes off on the back of my hand. still, it doesn't bother me enough to stop using it. would repurchase this in a heartbeat.
