13/10/2019, By GayleneThe product in the tube is very thick and ‘dried’? So in squeezing the tube to get the product onto the applicator part, I actually ended up having the applicator detach from the tube. I then had to reconnect it. Now when I use it, I have to hold the applicator as I squeeze the tube :-( When you finally get the product onto your lips, it is lovely. Maybe make it more viscous please, with a better applicator system?07/10/2019, By MeganThe texture is lovely. It smooths on well. I'm not a huge fan of the myrrh scent, but that's just me.05/08/2018, By NabeelaReally weird texture and quite difficult to get out too... does provide moisture though, but just not that great.22/06/2018, By MelissaLovely and moisturising but a little bit hard to get out, although soft once on the lips :) (apparently they are reformulating, if so will definitely repurchase)24/09/2017, By SoozeeWhen I first started using this product I would've given it a 5 rating as I found it to be so moisturising and didn't need to reapply for hours after applying. About a month later I noticed that much more frequent application was required and my lips would get very dry in-between applications, so have now stopped using it.18/08/2017, By MaureenAnother winner in the Mbiri range. Can't say enough good things about it. I love the way it just seems to sink in and add moisture to dry lips.Easy to use, it works, it's vegan :).08/06/2017, By GemmaLove this. Really moisturizing and forms a thick, non-sticky layer on the lips. Feels really protective.06/03/2017, By TammyI use this lip moisturizer as a night treatment and my lips feel so soft and nourished! And it smells divine.04/11/2015, By MireilleI unfortunately didn like the smell of this lip balm and it doesn last once applied :(30/07/2015, By VictoriaVery happy, love how it feels and smells. Absorbs well and makes my lips look soft.
