Personal thoughts
- I got this for a holiday to the beach. A great find at its price point for a lip balm with SPF 30. Water-resistant too, awesome for water activities!
- First impression was its pale yellow lip balm that leaves a slight tint on the lips. Kind of like applying a thin layer of concealer. (Which I found out was a nice complement to an ombre lip makeup!)
- Application however, isn't the smoothest at all. Drags across the lips more than I would like. That being said, it doesn't leave a stick after-effect on the lips like some balms do. And it does keep the slightly chapped lips soft, though I would love if it's more hydrating.
- Would recommend if you're looking for a lip balm with higher SPF. Alternatively, Nivea's Caring Lip Balm (Hydro Care) is more hydrating / softer on the lips and comes with SPF 15.
