I would only recommend this to those who have money to spare. I shouldn't have spent the $18- but I wanted to try this anyway! I did like the color on my lips very much, it was very natural, and paired with a neutral liner (like Mac Spice) it looked great. However, this is outrageously overpriced for a lipbalm. I am going to search for something like it in color, since I can't afford this. I love Benefit- but I do feel the products are way overpriced-- but I guess when you have a celebrity following you can do that!
