Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment

For so long I had resisted the urge and the hype of the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment. I didn't see the point of paying $22 for a chapstick that would be gone in a few months. I thought what could be so great about this product? What sets it apart from the other millions lip treatments out there?

Then, my birthday rolled around and Sephora's birthday gift for Beauty Insiders was a Fresh sugar lip treatment duo in the mini size. I was so excited that I finally got to try this product out without shelling out the $22. I opened the tube and went to apply it and the smell caught my attention first. It was a sweet, lemony, sugary smell. It smelled so fresh, ironically. Then I applied the balm, it was so smooth and it effortlessly glided across my lips. I could not get enough. After wearing the lip treatment for a few hours, it did not make my lips chapped as most lip balms do. I was impressed. I started using this lip treatment as a primer to apply before I put lipstick or lip gloss on. I will apply a thin layer of this lip treatment then apply my lipstick or lipgloss and I notice how much longer my lipstick will wear and how my lips do not get chapped at all. I could not believe how much I loved this product. When I ran out of the mini size, I was at a huge crossroads. Do I actually spend the $22 for what is essentially a chapstick?

I waged the pros and the cons in my head and I found significantly more pros and I found myself in Sephora paying $22 for the full size lip treatment. It was the best decision I made. I never regretted purchasing this product for one second. Currently, I have about 1/4 of the product left and I am again at the dilemma of deciding between repurchasing this treatment or trying to find something better? I am leaning towards repurchasing since I cannot imagine not having this in my handbag.

Have you tried any of the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatments? Which ones and what did you like about it?
