Non-Sticky, Non-Shiny :)
I've been looking for a lip moisturizer that looks natural and not like I'm wearing something on my lips and this one is perfect. It makes my lips so soft and makes them look velvety instead of oddly shiny.

Also it doesn't have any comedogenic ingredients, unlike most lip moisturizers, so you won't get zits around your lips from using this!
