Okay, first impression? The packaging is SO cute. Like, Instagram-worthy. Came in this pretty little box that made it feel luxe.

The balm itself is bigger than I expected (pleasant surprise!). Texture is perfect - not sticky at all, just smooth and buttery. And that vanilla scent? Dangerous. I keep wanting to lick my lips lol.

Color payoff is subtle but pretty - gives me that 'my lips but better' look. Works great under lipstick too when I want extra moisture.

Now the downside... price tag hurts a bit. For what it is, I wish it was cheaper. But hey, treat yo'self sometimes right?

Final verdict: 8/10 - would repurchase if there's a sale!
