My Impression

I love The Body Shop lip balms. I love the subtle tint of of pink. It looks really nice and natural. I just love the watermelon smell. My lips feel moist and supple throughout the day and I just have to apply once. I don't have reapply like all my previous lip balms. The only problem is that the application is sort of messy and unhygienic since it comes in pot.
