This was the first thing I tried as soon as I opened the box my order came in, and I am seriously impressed.
It's easy to apply (but not too soft. It's a 'just right' consistency, not the sort of product that you hesitate to leave in a pocket for fear that it melts, cough cough, Mirror Shine lipsticks) and leaves a visible tint which is easily layered for greater intensity. Smells yummy, too.
What sells this product for me, though, is the sheer moisturising power it delivers. I have very dry lips, as I've mentioned before. On average, my lips peel/shed skin/bleed about every one/two days if I don't religiously apply balm every hour or so (I know that's pretty quick and there's probably some underlying deficiency or something somewhere, but they've been this way for as long as I can remember) and thus makes it difficult for me to wear lip colours and such, as they're constantly in bad shape. This kills two birds with one lipbalm pot - it delivers the moisture while giving me colour. I don't have to reapply excessively either, as the effects stick around for a while even after it's long gone.
Anyone else find these pretty damn decent for £3.50, or am I a total anomaly? In my opinion, in terms of conditioning power and pigmentation these own the Sleek Pout Polishes, no contest. Plus, those taste abysmal.
