This is a natural looking yet glamorous lip balm.
The packaging is pretty ordinary with black twist up tube and transparent lid. It is not very sturdy but not easily breakable so you can carry it around in bag. However the formula have tendency to melt easily so in hot weather keep it in cool place. The texture is very smooth and glides easily. In fact it glides better then some Maybelline baby lips which some time tug on lips. It might be due to gel formula that it is more smooth and easy to use. I couldn't detect any prominent scent to it as it is very light and fades quickly but some pointed out that they didn't like smell at all.
The color i picked called play is lovely bright pink shade which is sheer but still the color payoff for lip balm is very good. It definitely give your lips good color when you do not want to do makeup. The moisturizing factor is very good as well. It keeps your dry lips hydrated for hour or two and then you have to apply again. However it keep them soft for longer. If you have dry chapped lips, it is better to exfoliate and remove dead skin before applying any lip balm as it can stuck in dry patches. This way it works better, moisturize your lips deeply and stays longer.
Overall i liked this balm where moisturizing and lasting factor is similar to Maybelline baby lips but pout & play have better color payoff, smooth formula and better price. I would love to pick the transparent one as well to wear beneath my lipsticks.
