A greasy balm in the form of lipstick, which enhances the natural color of the lips (swatch on lips and skin is in my LJ). Balsam, of course, no lipstick, respectively, does not have its durability (but the manufacturer does not promise us that, the annotation speaks primarily of the medicinal properties of the product). It does not last long on the lips, due to the natural fat content it is smeared, leaving behind the lip contour, so if you want to fix it on your lips properly - you will have to fix the contour with a pencil, and pre-powder the lips or apply a toning agent on them. I do not dance such dances with tambourines around balm, I use it for the purpose - as a means for softening and nourishing the lips with a pleasant shade. For me, this is such a "home" option, leaving people I prefer persistent lipsticks, which do not have to be constantly adjusted. The balsam really cleans up the dryness on the lips, with it they look natural and well-groomed. Someone has a pronounced taste of balm, if you lick your lips - well, yes, something zhirnovatoe is indistinctly felt ... but the smell is there! The smell of wax and castor oil. Of the good - not rancid castor oil, and fresh, in my understanding there is nothing unpleasant in it, from the word "castor oil" I do not fall into a swoon. You smell and understand - this is a natural product, tree-sticks, without flavors. Although, maybe they would have been here and not prevented for a change. Over time, the smell in the tube somehow weakens, and on the lips it does not hold at all.
