The packaging isn't terribly exciting. It's exactly the same as other chubby lip crayons. That being said, the packaging is practical. I own a few of these and I appreciate not having to look at the label to know which colour I'm grabbing. It's fully retractable so you won't ever have to worry about sharpening it.

The staining power isn't as good as the deeper shades but the balm itself is quite pigmented. It's not as moisturizing as a lip butter but it's better than the average lipstick. This stain balm has a mint scent and taste that wears off after a while. It's reminiscent of toothpaste which I don't mind but it's something that some people might have a problem with.

Since this is a staining product it would be wise to exfoliate prior to application. Sadly, exfoliating right before doesn't guarantee an even stain. This colour isn't very deep so it's harder to notice that the stain isn't even. The more you apply the product the more intense the stain becomes.
Overall: I love this colour. It's a nice bright pink that isn't overly bold. If you're looking for a great staining lip product I wouldn't recommend this. It's unlikely that I'll repurchase.
This product can be purchased at drugstores and some supermarkets for varying prices (I paid around $8 at Shoppers Drug Mart)
