The dome shape and handle make it easy to apply. And no messy fingers. The formula is light and provides a nice amount of moisture. My lips do not get the least bit dry. However, it does not stay on long. But hey, it is a lip balm. The sheer wash of red is perfect for an everyday look. It also has just a dash of shimmer that is perfect for the holidays. I adore the smell of it, too. It is light and slightly fruity.
The price is $6 for the lip balm alone. It also comes in a Cranberry Joy gift set which costs $15. That is how I got it, and it is a better value.
Overall Impression
I really like this lip balm. The sheer wash of red is wonderful and great for the time of year without committing to a lipstick. It keeps my lips nicely moisturized while it is on. Even after it wears off, the dryness does not come back.
