This is so far the best lip treatment I've ever used. It's a light petroleum-based great-smelling product that comes in a pot that lasts forever. The price is quite reasonable for a high-end product. I've been using it for a few months and my lips are sooooooo soft and sexy!!!!!!!... Before trying this balm, I tried hundreds of other brands like Chanel, Clarins, Clinique as well as drug store favs, which were kind' a nice, but MAC is MUCH better. I'm sure you will not be disappointed with this product.
