Simple but very effective
I've been using it for a while and it hasn't disappointed me. I can't say if it's the Papaya that has such a nourishing effect, but it does an excellent job. It feels very smooth, non-sticky, and comes at a good price. Also great if you apply just some lipliner on the lips before using the balm.
