I expected a lot from this lip balm because of the inclusion of shea butter, and how popular the body shop lip balms were when I was still in secondary school. However, this lip balm did absolutely nothing for me, which is extra infuriating because of how much it cost. It doesn't hydrate, protect or even soften. The only thing it's good for is to lubricate the flakes that are falling of my lips. I don't mean that in the same way you slather on vaseline at night and you can wipe off all the dead skin in the morning. You still can't wipe off the dead skin because its still hanging on to your lips and it will hurt if you try to do so, the packaging makes it hard to slather on and you can only get a thin layer on unless you start scrapping the balm (but it's going to taste disgusting like oily vanilla). It does however, make it easier for my cracked lips to stretch (still hurts though) and for the dead skin flakes to feel wet and soggy instead of like hard plastic.
It taste and smells like vanilla which some people might enjoy, but after having to reapply every minute I think I'm going to be disgusted by the smell of vanilla for a very long time.
