Lovely Scent, Very Moisturizing, but Pricey
A touch too tacky and thicker than your average lip gloss BUT can certainly double as one during the day. The scent is very nice and subtle but still sweet (it's truly honeydew!). Leaves my lips soft in the morning. But I gotta lower the rating because of the price; it's too expensive for the size.
