Quick View: I am a huge fan of Lemon scents and I really like Philosophy's Lemonade hand cream. I totally expected to love Philosophy Lemonade Lip Shine. I didn't. It was like watered down lemon Vaseline.

About Philosophy Lemonade Lip Shine

This is called lip shine but has the consistency of lip balm. It comes in a one half ounce tube and squeezes onto the lips. The consistency is thick. It is clear and reminds me of petroleum jelly. The scent is similar to lemonade but the taste is a greasy blend of oils and lemon that made me cringe. This lip shine did hydrate my lips and did coat them. I didn't notice any particular high shine though. My lips were a bit shinier just by virtue of having something slick on them. But to me, this is just a hydrating balm that I slick on at home for moisture. I have tried many Philosophy lip products and several varieties of their Lip Shines. Most are great. This one disappointed me. It simply didn't smell or taste authentic and wasn't anywhere near the luscious scent of the hand cream and other Lemonade products that Philosophy sells. I won't purchase this again. There are so many better lip products from Philosophy and other companies that I will save my 10 bucks and buy a different flavor or brand.

My Viewpoint

Philosophy Lemonade Lip Shine is an OK lip balm that does hydrate the lips and does coat them. Other than that, it really doesn't taste good and it smells somewhat weird. It's quite thick, like petroleum jelly, which helps it to last on the lips but makes my lips feel coated with lard. I am not impressed with this lip shine. 2 stars. I don't recommend it.

I'll steer my wife aways from this product; she is never without her tube of petroleum jelly.
