SoftLips

100 years ago the popular (read monied) girls in my high school used to use this, while I was stuck with the cheap no name brands, so I’ll always associate it with fancy things and pretty girls. It also means I always buy it whenever I see it, just because I can! I personally love the slight burn - it feels like it’s actively doing something (I know it’s probably just menthol, but don’t ruin the mystery for me, ok?). Applies easily, almost like a liquid, and smells great. That being said, I feel like they’ve changed the formula recently. It feels thicker, less slick and heavier. Hope I just got a bad batch, because I’ll miss it’s prior glossiness.

Leaves my lips looking like a three-year-dead drowning victim. And dries them out. Points for usual lovely Softlips tube. But that’s all.

Smell is really nice, skinny tube is cute, totally affordable, it's available almost everywhere... But it dries my lips out terribly! I have to apply it every 15 minutes or my lips are so chapped and peeling they bleed. My 4 year old daughter even refuses to use it anymore. I ended up using her minni mouse dollar store lip balm all day instead. I would not buy this again or recommend to anyone
