I ordered this product because my lips tend to get very dry and chapped from time to time (due to cold weather wind and my habit of often licking/biting them) and even though they're okay right now I can see how this lip balm will help when they get chapped again. I usually use lip balm sticks which obviously aren't as liquid as lip balms that come in tubes and I was afraid this one would be like those sticky lip glosses that you have to apply a lot of to see the colour and end up with them practically dripping off your lips when you talk but I was wrong! I apply a fair amount of it on my lips just to see how shiny they can get and it doesn't get sticky doesn't start running but stays in place. it has a nice kinda strong tangerine-like scent but you won't really be able to detect it once applied. I didn't notice any kind of taste.
