  A Pleasant Surprise — Better Lip Comfort Over Time My experience with this lip balm has been surprisingly positive, although it took a little time for me to appreciate its benefits. During the first few days, I wasn't particularly impressed with its moisturizing performance. Even when I applied a thick layer overnight, the dry skin on my lips was still there the next morning. My lips were still dry, although they no longer cracked as easily. Compared with other lip masks I've used, such as Vaseline and Laneige, it didn't provide the same immediate result of making my lips soft and allowing the dead skin to wipe away easily. However, after a few more days of consistent use, I started noticing a difference. I applied a thin layer during the day and a thicker layer at night. Gradually, the flaky skin began to come off and my lips became smoother. What surprised me most was how my lips felt over time. Now, applying a thick layer before bed is often enough to keep my lips comfortable throughout the following day, even if I forget to reapply. My lips no longer seem to depend on frequent applications to prevent dryness and cracking. I can't say that every bit of dry skin has disappeared, but my lips feel much healthier and more comfortable overall. The texture is another highlight. It feels comfortable, moisturizing and completely non-sticky, without being overly greasy. A thin layer gives my lips a natural, healthy sheen, while a thicker layer provides a more moisturized, glossy finish without looking like lip gloss. I also love that it has absolutely no fragrance or noticeable taste. My lips are quite sensitive, and I've had bad experiences with other lip products in the past, including one that left my lips feeling very dry and contributed to a severe lip irritation flare-up. This product has caused me no noticeable irritation or other problems so far. I also grew to really appreciate the packaging. When I first received the product, it was a little difficult to squeeze out the balm, but this became much easier with use. I actually love how the tube allows me to control exactly how much product I dispense, without squeezing out more than I need. Another thoughtful detail is the matte, textured cap. Even when I've just applied hand cream and my hands are slippery, I can easily grip and unscrew it. I've struggled with smooth, glossy caps on other lip products, so this small design choice makes a real difference. The packaging is simple, practical, and genuinely pleasant to use. Overall, I'm genuinely impressed. It wasn't an instant miracle for my dry lips, but with consistent use, it has helped my lips feel smoother and stay comfortable for much longer between applications. I love how lightweight, non-sticky and comfortable it feels, and I would happily use it as an everyday lip balm. Both the formula and the practical packaging have exceeded my expectations.

  . Lipbalm stay moist around 2-4hrs, outdoor roughly 2hrs, indoor 4hrs . I quite like it for night time before bed, it dries up in the morning, you can't feel the lipbalm anymore but the lips don't dry out . No strong fragrance . Not shiny, very subtle glow to almost no, quite matte on the lip, good for men . I use this underneath normal colour lip stick. It layers well too . I'll give it 4.5/5, definitely will buy it again if it's available in australia

  The lippie is what I would consider an under lip layer or a general moisturizer for your lips on its own. This lippie is unique in that it actually soaks into your lips and leaves a lovely finish. Too often using regular gloss underneath your lips routine is too greasy or oily. This product is a total winner and I believe a standalone product on its own since it truly soaks into your lips and creates an amazing g foundation for the rest of your lips products.

  It feels comfortable to wear, leaves my lips feeling soft and hydrated. Not too oily just enough to keep the lips moisturized. It lasts around 3 hours if you’re not drinking or eating anything otherwise it is necessary to reapply. The shine is on MAX which I don’t mind, as a man but I also like wearing it right before bed.

  The simple white tube is compact and practical, with no unnecessary packaging, so it’s easy to carry around wherever I go. I love that the balm is completely fragrance-free and tasteless, which makes it perfect for everyday use without interfering with the taste of food or drinks. It has a thick consistency but spreads easily across the lips. The finish is natural when applied sparingly and more satin-like with a thicker layer. It’s completely clear, non-sticky, and subtle enough that even men can comfortably use it without hesitation. It keeps my lips moisturized and protected for a long time, leaving them feeling soft and comfortably coated. It works just as well as an everyday lip balm as it does as an overnight lip mask. I’ve already been reaching for it daily, and I can tell it’s going to be a lifesaver during the colder winter months!

  The product doesn’t squeeze from the tube too easily and the applicator is rock hard plastic. The product itself is balanced between being thick and thin, but doesn’t last and left my lips feeling strangely drier- like it sits on top and doesn’t really protect or moisturize. I appreciate that it has no discernible scent. But compared to other lip serum/liquid balm products (like Dr. Reju-all or Laniege) this is among my least favorite. Very similar to The Inkey List peptide lip product… which just sits on top and fails to relieve dryness for me. This is maybe very slightly irritating to my lipline. Poor staying power, my lips feel dry again underneath throughout, and the product is gone in under an hour. I really don’t recommend this one :( This doesn’t work under makeup. Lipstick just breaks up over it. Doesn’t really shine, so maybe men would like it? But the round lab lip balm in little jar is so much better. Or a plain old chapstick. Packaging is fine: unspecial. But that applicator feels so cheap!!

  I’ve been using this lip balm for quite a while now, and I really like how nourishing it is. It reminds me of Vaseline, but it feels less greasy and more moisturizing/nourishing on my lips. It does a great job of keeping my lips soft and preventing them from feeling dry and is unscented. My only complaint is the packaging. Since it comes in a squeeze tube, I have to put the product on my finger first and then apply it to my lips. I think it would be much more convenient if it came in a stick form, especially for on-the-go use. Overall, a really nice and nourishing lip product—I just wish the application was a little easier!

  I absolutely love this lip balm! I use a lot of lip balms and have tried so many that just don’t give me the lasting moisture I want, but this is genuinely one of the best I have ever used. It has a lovely thick texture, which I really like because it actually stays on the lips rather than disappearing almost immediately and needing constant reapplication. Despite being rich and substantial, it doesn’t feel sticky or uncomfortable. My lips feel properly moisturised, soft and protected, and it lasts really well. This is exactly what I want from a lip balm. I will definitely buy this again and would happily recommend it to other people. I’m genuinely delighted with it.
