I shared this product with my daughter, Robyn because she is my go-to expert on moisturizing lip balms. I tend to simply swipe my lips with my usual lipstick and call it done, so her opinion matters to me in finding a good moisturizing lip balm. She tested it as a stand alone product and I tested it as a moisture boost under said usual lipstick.I really liked the slant tip and the small diameter of the head of the product. It mad it easy to apply and very comfortable.
Robyn really liked the taste and tingle of it.
I also like the built in sunscreen and the vitamin E that is part of the formulation.
Robyn liked the pink color (she didn't test the peach -that one is mine)
I didn't mind the peach color on it's own, but since I usually wear lipstick, I found the tint light enough that it didn't alter my lipstick significantly when I put it over top.
