I have the driest skin and this balm has done wonders.
This balm is more hydrating then I expected and lasts for about 5 hours with 1 application.
Night -I apply about 2 swipes before bed, the formula is thick so less is more with this product.
Day - I wear a thin layer underneath lipstick. It gives a beautiful shine to any matte lipstick and still keeps my lips hydrated.
What is really impressive is how well it lasts even after eating. I normally just need to touch up my lipstick once during my 8 hr workday.
The balm itself has no scent which is great. I also prefer this over the lip mask for sure.
I keep pretty good care of my lips (otherwise id have numerous issues with peeling and cracked lips) so I cant say much of the repairing aspects of this product. However, they do feel a and look a bit more "healthier?"
Con- Being that the balm is a very thick formula you cant twist it up too much. The entire stick of the balm moves so it does get a bit messy around the top outer ring of the tube. So just try not to apply too much pressure. This is why I gave it one less star.
I did receive this product as gratis from Sephora. These are my own thoughts after using this products for over 2 weeks now.

Hydrating Lip Base
-08.11.17
I used to be an avid user of the lip mask, and I was delighted when Sephora sent me this lip balm for review. This product glides onto bare lips effortlessly and provides the right amount of moisture. This product is EXCELLENT for wearing underneath super Matte or drying lipsticks.
The only drawbacks to this product is that it doesn't glide well on top of lips that already have product on them. Also, $18 for lipbalm is a bit steep, especially since there's no SPF.
I would still buy it over the mask though. This packaging is much easier to deal with!

chapped my lips
-08.10.17
I am a huge fan of the mask, so I was really excited when I saw there was a balm. I started using it and, as others have said, it feels like dragging a dried out glue stick across your lips. My lips were chapped for over a month after I started using this. Stick with the mask, this is nothing like it.

All natural, NO sunscreen, lasting moisturizer

Quick Take: hydrating, scented
I'm reviewing this as it;s own listing, not the more popular 3 products one. Not only was I massively confused believing I got 3 products for one price (ha!), but also reviewers don't specify. The ingredients are all natural except fragrance?. I wish it had sunscreen, but that adds chemicals. This is super moisturizing and lasts all night. Vanilla-like scent, no flavor. It works well under lipstick, but I prefer to use Buxum Lip Polish over lipstick instead. I wonder how long it will last with about an inch length. No sunscreen = 4 stars. Pricey for what it is.

Perfect for priming lips for color
-08.06.17
The texture of this is on the thick/stiffer side and though it does loosen up a bit on the lips, it doesn't get incredibly slippery. That makes it absolutely perfect for pre-lipstick application. Doesn't dilute or otherwise lessen the color, finish or staying power of lip colors, but it does keep lips moist and makes even harder-formula mattes glide on with ease. The only reason I've giving it 4 rather than 5 stars is that, while it is very hydrating, it's not quite enough so to be my go-to for treating my abnormally dry lips. I will certainly be reaching for it as a primer, though. I received this as a gift from Sephora, and am happy to have tried it!
