I was so disappointed in this lip balm. I have been a customer for 4 years. I was tired of Blistex and Chapstick which never seemed to keep my lips moisturized for long and I always had to reapply constantly. I took a chance on La La Leaf after seeing an ad on social media. I bought a few to try and loved them. The consistency of the lip balm was so creamy and luxurious. It made my lips feel amazing. I didn't have to reapply nearly as often as balms I used before. I even bought in large quantities because I wanted to always have a backup if I ran out and I gave some to family and friends who also loved them. When I saw that there was an SPF version, I was excited because I've started getting into protecting my skin from the sun more now that I am outside more often. The SPF version is nothing like the original versions I've used. It is thick and just sits on top of my lips without absorbing and making them moisturized. It reminds me of Burt's Bees which I hate for that exact reason. To top it off, the very noticable white cast makes my lips look like I just ate powdered donuts. Maybe it wouldn't look quite as bad on fairer skin. I'm so disappointed and stuck with a bunch of these because I bought several assuming they would be just like the ones I'm used to. I wouldn't even give these away to loved ones because the quality is nowhere near the same as the one that they're used to using. Additionally, I got a bunch of the original balm in lemon to replace the SPF ones, and while they don't make my lips white, they feel just as thick and waxy. The company obviously changed the formula and I'm crushed because my lips don't feel like they used to when I apply it. I'm currently back on the lookout for a new favorite lip balm because it is no longer La La Leaf.
