So I bought one of these at my local Walgreens for around $6. I couldn't help it the cute packaging, the color, the flavor, and the way they described it on the back of the package. So as soon as i got into the car, i ripped it out of package and applied it onto my lips. There wasn't any tingling, no burning sensation. Just a nice, thin balmy feel. I thought this was too good to be true and when i got home, i immediately looked into the mirror. My lips felt/looked exactly the same. I was incredibly disappointed; with the price that i paid and the false advertising. Also, the actual bullet {yes, its called a bullet} of lip balm was incredibly small. However, it does moisturize your lips, but you need to apply it VERY frequently. Also, this melts incredibly easy. i know most lip balms will melt when left in a car, but this one was just terrible. I recommend leaving it in the freeze over/every night.
PROS:
-Smells good
-Looks cute
-Moisturizes
-Thin (not like thick, goopy Carmex)
-Slightly glossy
CONS:
-Expensive
-Tiny amount
-Need to apply it very frequently
-Melts very easily
-IS NOT PLUMPING AT ALL
-Not worth what you pay
Would not recommend for anyone who needs lip plumping.
Would (maybe) recommend if someone wants to splurge on a drugstore lip balm.
