Advantages: smells yummy, shiny, nifty little pot

Disadvantages: bit gloopy

I was given a pot of this stuff as part of a xmas present. I like the handy little pot but you have to apply it with your finger (unlike the lipstick style ones) so a) you need clean hands and b) you end up with gloop on your finger.

It's great for keeping your lips luscious and shiny but i find it's just a bit TOO gloopy and slippery. It also makes kissing less pleasant for the other person.

It leaves a thick layer on your lips and once it dries up, you have keep reapplying, so that's a pain, too. so you go from thick layer to dry lips *re-apply* thick gloopy layer again.

I'd say it works no better than vaseline, but it does smell yummy, so I prefer it for that reason.

Summary: like very yummy vaseline, really
