Lips lips lips
Flavor Name: Ocean Mint, Size: 0.15 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have boughten soooo many of these !! I even buy them as stocking stuffers, they are that good ! I love using lip balm and it was so hard to find a kind that I liked. I don’t care for the texture or the oily feeling on my lips. This one is different, it’s not oily feeling, and it feels great on my lips.
