I don’t use it as a lip balm but I am sure it is great, however it is amazing cream blush! Applied with small fluffy brush on the cheeks gives amazing healthy pinched cheeks look and last incredibly well! Wish there were more shades and maybe even bronzer version! For someone who has oily skin to find great cream product is like a gold dust! I will always have to repurchase it to keep in my collection! ADDICTED - would be an understatement.
