But the packaging is very pretty though ^^<br /><br /><br />恵美より ♥<br />www.emi-doll.blogspot.com<br />Emi ♡ 恵美https://www.blogger.com/profile/16269892775626940001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-287820024977518648.post-80185707873614806422013-08-12T07:56:18.217+10:002013-08-12T07:56:18.217+10:00I got the sample pot and like Alina says, it's...I got the sample pot and like Alina says, it's very soft, almost like the Nivea lip butters although not quite. I have other lip balms I have to really swirl my finger on to get a sheer coating of product but never this one. I wonder if you got a dud jar? It might be worth asking, especially for $84! I would compare it with the tester at Mecca.

Mine's really soft, though? Even in the middle of winter it's never really hard like you mentioned. I agree, I would never actually pay the retail price for the full size. I use it more for my cuticles than as a lip balm, because as you said it doesn't really do much for dry, chapped lips.
