I was skeptical about this product. The shade is so pale and pale lip colors rarely work on me, but also because I wanted to love the original Benetint but it just never worked for me. I am SO glad I gave this a chance! I really love it. Because it's a balm, the color is sheer enough that it works nicely on me. It's great for spring, especially since I tend toward darker lip colors no matter the s...read moreeason. Having a paler shade for warmer weather really freshens up my look! The texture is moisturizing, but...I'm not sure how to describe it. Thinner, maybe, than other balms? Not as balmy. Almost more of a gloss texture, but like I said, it is still moisturizing which is nice. It really is only barely a hint of color, so if you're looking for something pigmented this is not the product for you! It seems to have just a tiny bit of a rose scent to it, but it's definitely not too overwhelming. At least not for me, I recommend giving it a sniff if you have a sensitive nose. There is a generous amount of product in the tube which is nice because it does need to be reapplied as frequently as any other lip balm. I think it's a good value for the price, considering the amount of product you get (as I write this, it's going for $18 at Sephora). I also enjoy the bright color and pattern on the outside of tube. It's fun to have around! I like this so much I will probably try some of the other shades as well. This is also probably a product I will purchase again if or when I run out. I'm really glad I gave this a chance!
