I’ve used this product for quite some time now, and to be honest, I still can’t figure out whether I like or dislike this product. Till now, my opinions are quite mixed. My mom actually gave this product to me because she had bought it for herself but hated how it made her lips look pale. I tried it and it did in fact wash out your lips. It’s nice for those who are wearing makeup and intend on using this product to wash out your lips for that nude look, but for those who don’t wear makeup, this could make you look a bit under the weather.

If you have dry lips, it does tend to emphasise the dry bits and make your lips appear a bit cakey. I find that this kind of contradicts the fact that it’s a lip balm, because I always avoid using it when my lips are dry.

Although the packaging says “Pearl & Shine” the product is not shiny at all. It gives off a pale, pearlescent colour but it’s in no way shiny.
