It's fine [SEP] This is an ok lip balm/gloss. I probably would think of it more as a gloss than a balm or butter. It has a unique flavor and scent, which is different than any others that I own. The formula is not too thick or sticky and is easy to apply. It leaves a nice shine. My lips feel moisturized for a little while, but I don't feel like it has any lasting hydration. I prefer a thicker lip balm if that's what I'm after. I'll use this more for the shine than the moisture.
