Once I managed to get it out of the packaging and then finally managed to get the wrap off the whole pen. I think the packaging is a bit overkill.
I like the idea of a pencil how much easier it would be to apply. Just draw those lips on. There wasnt too much colour when I first started to apply it which is fine just a nice hint but from the packaging I was expecting a bit more colour.
It's easy to apply and I like that you just have to turn the bottom rather than having to sharpen it.
My lips didn't really feel that great, I think it would annoy me because i can't work out what it feels like is on my lips as it's not sticky like a gloss but doesn't feel overly hydrating that I would expect from a balm. I think it's going to go in the bottom of my bag for when I need something to tidy up a bit.
This is a lovely balm, it gives shine, and actually moisturizes my lips. It lasts a long time too, if I wear it to work I only re apply twice all day. I love that it leaves a beautiful stain like a lipstick, but keeps lips looking nourished like a balm.
Tips: I like to use a lip liner. Then apply this balm for a lip that lasts all daily:)
