It is a really sheer, scentless, moisturizing lip balm that gives a gentle wash of color- basically my favorite things on planet earth. I have one in my purse at all times, because I find most of the colors are soft enough not to interfere with any makeup or clothing I might be wearing, I don't need a mirror to apply it, and the smell won't interfere with any perfume I am wearing/ is still wearable in perfume free offices. Bonus, they are chunky enough that I don't lose them in the abyss that is my purse.
It is not particularly pigmented though, so if that is what you are looking for in a tinted lip balm you might try the Pixi Shea Butter ones (this is scented but I really like it, unscented alternative would be the new Tarte Lipsurgences) or the Burt's Bees tinted lip balm if you want something more in the middle color payoff wise.
