Lanolips Banana Balm Sheen 3-in-1

Most Helpful Critical Review

Nope - full of regret

I purchased this because of the overwhelmingly positive reviews. I hate it. It moisturizes fairly well but I could only use it at night. First off: it doesn't go on totally clear but gives a slight white cast to your lips, even when put on thinly, so it cannot be worn alone unless you enjoy looking ...like a sickly ghost. That being said, if you try to put anything over it, even hours later, it will clump up any type of lipstick, balm or gloss. Like really clump up. Like embarrassing lip scum clump up. I tried using it in my routine regularly by putting it on as I started my makeup routine and scrubbing it off with a washcloth when I was finished, which worked fine except for the one out of every three days I would forget to do that and end up with nasty lips bothering me at work all day long. Absolutely infuriating. I thought that this would be better than the Bite lip mask because those are just a touch sticky and a reviewer said this is not sticky. It is super sticky. I also thought it would be cheaper but you end up using quite a bit more than you need to with Bite lip masks so it ends up being a waste. Super disappointed with this purchase.
