MY 2 CENTS
I’m having a difficult time deciding how much I like Philosophy’s Pink Almond Candy Lip Balm. I kind of like it but I don’t love it.

The packaging feels a little cheap, although the balm is dome shaped, like EOS balms, and I like that. Easy application!

The scent is light, not really almond, but definitely sweet. I like it, too.

It’s hydrating for a few hours, so much so that I wear it under drying lipstick to keep my lips moist, but once it dries, my lips look chapped. I can’t get over this. Chapped lips aren’t cute.
The formula itself isn’t waxy. It’s really soft but not in a good way – it’s mushy and I have to pat it out with my fingers, which kind of defeats the purpose of a dome shaped balm. I shouldn’t have to use my fingers!

Have you tried Philosophy Pink Almond Candy Lip Balm? I’d really like to hear you thoughts, especially if they differ from mine!

    I’ve been eyeing this lip balm for. I think I will pass on it. Thanks for the review. :)

    My daughter put thus in my stocking at Christmas and I love it. I wear every night to bed and also end up putting on top of my daytime lipstick because I like the way it feels so much. It isn’t waxy and goes on like butter. I don’t feel like it is flavored at all but it does have a hint of sweetness and coconut. I just tried to order more and Sephora is sold out I guess. I’m hoping our stores will still have some as I heard this is perhaps a seasonal item? Anyone know?

      Pretty sure this is part of their winter collections!
