I bought this 4.4g lip balm for $3.78euros from Greece late last year. With 98% natural ingredients, the lip balm is contained in a fat balm size with a twist and turn tube. The design looks complicated with words all over and I always pull out the wrong side in the beginning because the words were upside down. ie. if you refer to the above picture, the correct end to pull out should be the black base but if I pulled out where the black base is, the words would be upside down.

Initially, I also wasn't that used to its bulky fat size because most of my lip balms are slim and the diameter of it just glides on my lips perfectly. With this lip balm, I took some time to adjust with the thickness before I get used to it. The scent is unique with a mixture of shea butter and a subtle hint of beeswax.

It has a sloped top to make gliding on the lips easier but with much application on my lips, it has now become a flat shape. The application doesn't feel sticky or tacky too.
However, even though it feels highly moisturizing but somehow it still fails to coat it with the level of nourishment I was expecting, on my flaky lips under the air-conditioned office.
