Blistex Drench Lip Splash Liquid Moisturiser.

Amazon.com's Description of the product - "Roll-on sheer liquid lip balm for a deep penetrating hydration experience. The unique cooling roller-ball floods lips with sheer liquid moisture, giving them a light feel and all the sun and dryness protection you need"

I bought this product when I was browsing Amazon for a new lip gloss, as I've run out and am revising for important exams so cannot go out much. To be honest, the Amazon review of it sounds quite impressive, but I haven't found it gives me a "deep penetrating hydration experience". It's in a tiny, silvery gray, hard plastic tube. It's top heavy, because of the applicator ball, which means it falls over and rolls off tables if you try and stand it up. When you first apply it, it feels cooling and refreshing (which is partly down to the cold metal applicator ball). It tastes distinctly minty, without being overbearing or spicy in any way. It smells minty as well, very subtley. It's a nice consistency, although a tad greasy. Warning - it wears off within about 10 minutes. It's so light, and it soaks in so easily - good for hydration - but it just disappears quicker than doughnuts in a police station! This results in you having to apply it again and again and again... which gets annoying! I think that it is kiss-proof, although it will definitely transfer to your partner! It tastes nice though, and isn't sticky in the slightest. I am doubting it's moisturising properties though, my lips don't feel more soft or moisturised at all. Don't get this if you want a moisturiser!

Overall, it's a nice product. Handily in a tiny little tube, and quite pleasurable to wear. It's main disadvantage is that it wears off too quickly, and that you're forever reapplying. Mainly because it tastes so nice!

Summary: Quite good, not brilliant but advisable!
