Just an interesting piece of information about this line of lip balms. They have the original rose, minted rose, strawberry, bramble berry, rose & mandarin and mocha rose flavors. That's something I just found out so I ordered the rose & mandarin. I already have the strawberry which I love. But when I got the rose & mandarin I noticed a difference in texture, feel on my lips and longevity. So I looked at the ingredients on both flavors and they are different. So I checked out the ingredients in a few others and noticed different ingredients. Well, this is not a bad thing per se. But I prefer the strawberry over the original rose and the mandarin. And now I know why, the strawberry is the I only flavor that contains beeswax and lanolin. They all contain petrolatum btw. I didn't see the ingredients for the mocha & brambleberry so I don't know about those. The beeswax and lanolin in the strawberry feels better on the lips, it feels soft, whereas the rose and mandarin has more slip. I feel that's why the strawberry has better longevity. So, in saying all this, if you've tried the original and didn't like the formula, you might want to try the strawberry.

Tina, don't know if you know this, but all these balms also come in a tube-form.

I've been wanting to try these but haven't been able to decide on a flavor. I might have to go with the strawberry based on your info. Thanks!

I didn't know all of them came in tube form, Marleen. Thank you! I work at an animal hospital, so tins are not work friendly. I will keep this in mind when I've a couple of bucks to spare. I'm on a no buy in order to pay the bills. Being an adult sucks at times. Lolol.

Grace, you won't be disappointed. I have both the tin and the tube. A lot of people don't like the tin because you have to stick your finger in it. But when I actually stick my pointer finger KNUCKLE in it, because I don't like actually sticking my fingertips in it for obvious reasons. At night, I sometimes use a lip brush.

I just Google the Brambleberry and this one has beeswax and shea butter so I'm going to take a chance in it. Here is a description of it.

Do the other flavors you've tried (other than original + strawberry which I've tried) leave the barest hint of color? I liked the original because it did add just a bit of freshness to my lip color, but nothing really major to worry about precise application.

I've tried the original rose, mandarin and strawberry. And of those 3, the mandarin gave the most color, but still only a hint. What I like to do, is apply a stain, like Benefit Benetint, then just layer the balm over it. I only reapply the balm during the day.

Wow thanks Marleen! I didnt like the original ones that much because if didnt feel that moisturizing and felt pretty thin. I'm going to look for the strawberry one:)

Bri-Bri, I think you're going to like the scent of the strawberry better than the rose. I ordered the Brambleberry. It too has beeswax in it, but not lanolin like the strawberry. It has shea butter instead. The other ones have oils in them, I think that's why they're so slick. Hopefully the Brambleberry will be close in texture to the strawberry.

I got the Brambleberry and the scent is TERRIBLE! Do not try it! The closest thing I describe it to is a rancid blueberry pie.

The Strawberry is the best. In scent and formula.
