Pros

★Though the product has been discontinued for quite some time, I found it while cleaning and decided to write a review★ 1. Scent I liked the scent. I really enjoy sweet and creamy scents, but since my sense of smell is a bit sensitive, it did sting my nose slightly. However, I can distinguish people by their scent and even detect cafeteria food smells from 5 floors away, so for most people, the scent would just be 'strong'. It felt like I had scooped up a spoonful of vanilla ice cream from a buffet, mixed in a pat of butter, and smeared it on my nose and philtrum. Those who dislike vanilla scents or can't handle rich, sweet flavors would probably not enjoy this. It has an incredibly sweet and creamy vanilla aroma. 2. Stickiness Aloe, Vaseline, and other Nivea lip balm products (the stick-type ones with sky blue lids you can find at pharmacies) were quite sticky and difficult to use, but this one doesn't feel sticky at all. Even if your hair gets stuck to it, it just falls off. It's not completely weightless, but the slight heaviness is negligible and doesn't feel bothersome. 2-1. This also seems related to the stickiness. I really dislike getting lip balm on my hands, so I usually only use the stick type, but this one is fine. You can just wipe it on and it doesn't leave a sticky residue. While this may not be ideal for the fastidious, for someone like me who always has to wipe off lip balm from their hands, this makes it possible for practically anyone to apply it with their fingers. 3. Moisturizing It's incredibly, incredibly moisturizing! I love it!! My lips tend to crack and peel as soon as autumn comes, but this has made them so soft and supple (though I do tend to apply a lot). 4. Glossy, but not overly so. It has a subtle sheen, not a sticky, saliva-like shine. 5. Texture Personally, I really liked the texture. It's hard to describe, but it's like softened, melted butter - not hard, but not completely smooth either.

Cons

The ingredients are a bit disappointing. I probably won't be able to use this again due to the ingredients. The hygiene aspect is also a bit lacking. If they released this in a stick format and improved the ingredients, I'd use it a ton, but it's been discontinued, unfortunately. As it dries, there's a slight gritty feeling, but it's not uncomfortably so.
