★★★★★★★★★★Smooth finish with some shine
The finish is the part I notice most: it looks smooth and slightly glossy rather than matte. After a few hours it still feels comfortable and hasn't worn patchy. I just wish the shine settled down faster when I wear it alone.

★★★★★★★★★★A wedding guest lip fix
I twisted up a small amount and swept it from the center outward before a wedding last month. The buttery texture softened my lips and the balm stayed comfortable through the ceremony and dinner. It does leave a little transfer on a glass, so I blot once before photos.

★★★★★★★★★★Holds up through a full shift
I put this on before a nine hour shift and my lips were still comfortable at the end of it, which doesn't happen with the thinner sticks I've tried. The finish is smooth rather than glossy, so nothing slides around while I'm talking to people all day. One quick swipe at lunch covers me.

★★★★★★★★★★Standard tube, solid everyday balm
I picked the single standard tube since there aren't other sizes on offer, which was fine for trying it out. The balm goes on with good slip and my lips stay soft through the afternoon, though it leaves a little transfer on my coffee mug. I still keep it in my bag.

★★★★★★★★★★Lasts longer than my usual tins
I go through balm fast, and this one has lasted me about two months of twice-daily swipes plus topping up at my desk. The tube only takes a couple of twists to raise enough product, so I'm not wasting any. The buttery texture spreads thin and I don't feel like I'm reapplying every hour.

★★★★★★★★★★Back for a second tube
I finished my first tube and bought another because the balm keeps my lips comfortable for hours without constant reapplication. The twist format is simple to use, and the buttery texture hasn't changed from tube to tube.

★★★★★★★★★★Calm on a reactive patch
I have a reactive patch on my lower lip and the buttery balm goes on without any sting or tingle. It seals the area and stays comfortable for a few hours; I twist up a small amount and dab it on rather than sweeping.

★★★★★★★★★★Cleans up at night
At night I wipe it off with a tissue and it lifts cleanly, no scrubbing needed. The balm does transfer a little to my water glass, but on lips it comes away with warm water and a soft cloth.

★★★★★★★★★★Soft in photographs
In photos my lips look soft and the smooth finish doesn't turn shiny under flash. The twist tube is slim enough to hold in one hand for a quick shot, and the balm leaves a even, cushioned look.

★★★★★★★★★★Buttery on first swipe
The balm feels buttery when I twist the tube and sweep it on, and it blends into my lips without any wax drag. It has a light weight that doesn't sit heavy, and the slip is enough to cover dry patches in one pass.

★★★★★★★★★★Softens in Humid Weather
In hot weather the balm gets soft in the tube, so I twist it up just a little to avoid a mess. It still seals in moisture, and the buttery texture stays comfortable for hours. I would recommend it for humid days as long as you store it upright.

★★★★★★★★★★Layers Well Under Lipstick
I use this as a base before a matte lipstick, and the jojoba oil in the balm keeps my lips from feeling tight. Sweeping it on clean lips first gives a smooth finish that lipstick sits over without patchiness. It also works alone at night.

★★★★★★★★★★Surprised by Lasting Comfort
What surprised me is how long the comfort lasts after I sweep it on from the center outward. I expected a buttery balm to need constant reapplication, but it seals moisture for hours and leaves a smooth finish with minimal transfer.

★★★★★★★★★★Gift That Gets Used
I gave this to my sister who complains about dry lips all winter. The twist tube is easy for her to use, and the shea butter balm leaves a smooth finish without any color, so she keeps it in her bag and reapplies through the day.

★★★★★★★★★★Chose It for Night Use
I grabbed this instead of a tinted balm because I wanted a plain layer for bedtime. The buttery texture from the twist tube goes on thick, and my lips feel sealed through the night. It does leave a slight film on my pillowcase, which is my only gripe.
