This is a really handy product. A little definately goes a long way - but you can have problems when you come to get it out of the pot if you have long nails - in which case I would say use the back of your nail to get the product out not the pad of your finger. It moisturises your lips really well but I don't think that it has much staying power and I have used better products and it can be a bit greay to usee too. It's marketed as a lip balm but has so many other uses too. It can be used over lipstick as a gloss, massage it into your cuticals to soften them, use for dry skin such as on your elbows or you can use it on your feet, its really good if you rub it into your feet and then put socks on overnight-might need a bigger pot of it for that though!
