the color is great but it is dry [SEP] i bought this after reading on a website that this matched very closely to the discontinued cocoa color that used to be made by burts bees i was excited and bought a three pack not wanting to be caught without my favorite color again the color is great but it is extremely dry and almost gritty when i put it on i have noticed that pieces of it seem to gather and turn into dark specs after wearing it for more than a few minutes kind of like it is chunking or clotting i do not know how else to explain it i still try to wear it but i have taken to putting carmex or vaseline over my lips before and after to make it more moist and to protect from the airs dryness in the cold weather big disappointment if you have never tried burts bees and gotten used to how smoothly that applies wears maybe it will not bother you as much to me using this on my lips without anything else feels almost like sandpaper
