Strongest points
The pot balm is very moisturising, easy to use a gives a lovely shine to lips. I love the fun packaging! Really great value for money!
Weakest points
Personally, I'm not too keen on the tropical scent as I find it a little sickly. Also, it melts easily when left in a pocket so is tacky after which is unfavourable. It does take a while to absorb.
Summary
Overall, I find this pot balm good for the first couple of uses but once it's been accidentaly left in a pocket as inevitably it will it goes tacky and sticky. I prefer the smell of the other balms in the range and find this one a little sickly. It leaves lips feeling hydrated and looking shiney! For the price I think this is a handy little pot balm!

I love this lip balm,firstly i really love the fruity scent and the colour.
It is really easy to apply but does need reapplication throughout the day but this is a small price to pay for the great value for money that you get with the body shop balms.
I love it!

These little pot balms form The Body Shop are great. I did find that this balm has more of a jelly texture as apposed to a balm but none the less it is easy to apply and although a little tacky on the lips its is not off-putting. The balm gives a beautiful gloss to the lips and has a fruity sweet exotic flavour and scent which is slightly synthetic but pleasant It instantly moisturises and softens the lips although it is a slightly oily texture. Sadly the product doesn’t last too long on the lips but it is very effective when present. This pot lasts a very long time and is excellent value for money. I really like the screw top lid on this product which is far easier to open than the pop of lid balms. Highly recommended

Summary
I have to admit, this is one of my favourite lip balms.
The scent is amazing, really fruity and quite tropical.
Moisturises the lips really well and does not leave an awful film on the lips.
Lasts a good hour before needing to reapply.
Leaves lips looking nice and glossy.
