What attracted me to this product was the fact that it's made with natural ingredients with certified organic shea butter and natural jojoba oil. It also says that this lip balm is 100% free from preservatives. Sounds pretty promising don't you think? On with the review!

This is what the lip balm looks like:

Packaging

It looks pretty much the same as any other lip balm. You twist the upper white part to get the product out and as you can see, there is a lot of product inside (4.8g). The lid stays on well and the whole thing feels sturdy. Thumbs up!!

Scent

In my opinion, it does smell like honey & milk but there's also a floral scent to it. Too bad because it would be so yummy without that floral scent! This smell can also bother some people with sensitive noses. I let my friends smell this, 2 disliked it and said it had a weird scent whereas the other 2 loved the smell. For me, I'm in between, I don't like or dislike the smell.

Performance

This lip balm glides on my lips smooth and it leaves them feeling soft and supple. Another thing is that the consistency doesn't make my lips feel sticky or greasy. I've tried other sticky lip balms that make my lips peel and this does not happen with this one. Yay!! I usually reapply after 4-5 hours or after eating =)

Here is a picture of the product applied on my lips:

my lips are slightly crooked x_x

Pros:

- moisturizes and softens lips

- natural ingredients and free of preservatives

- non-sticky

- suitable for sensitive lips

Cons:

- floral scent can irritate some people

Overall, it's a great lip balm that serves it's purpose but it's nothing special that really impressed me :P

Would I repurchase? Yes, if there are no other lip balms that catch my interest. 

You can buy this at most drugstores ^^ I bought mine at London Drugs.
