I was pretty excited to try this, but i was disappointed almost immediately. I bought the blue one. The flower was low down in the plastic bit which connects the lipbalm to the base of the lipstick, and partially covered with bubbles - it was barely visible. The lipbalm doesn't feel overly nourishing, its almost like a thin coat of vaseline. It doesn't seem to hydrate particularly; I applied it about ten hours ago, and though the gloss effect was short lived, my lips still feel soft to the touch. Sadly, from experience, I know that come the morning, they will be appallingly dry. I don't get that with my nivea two pound lip balm. I was also expecting a tinted sheen, but it's just glossy. I think this is a product which is more of a novelty item; I have wanted one for ages just because of the flower. It should look quite special when you get it out your bag and apply it; I had visions of my step daughter (she's ten) being curious and excited to try it, but honestly, it's a let down just looking at it. Sigh. I will keep using it, however, and maybe your one will be more attractive than mine lol but I'm not going to repurchase. Show less
