It is gorgeous! I love the smell and taste of it! It has the Hydra Beauty smell, that floral deliciousness. The texture is pretty interesting, maybe similar to something like nivea's balm? I haven't tried Nivea's but it looks similar. Nothing like the Rosebud Salve. It doesn't give a high shine but just a nice velvet look to the lips. It is very moisturizing (and for about $55 CDN with taxes it should be!!). It's nice to put a lipstick over, I was doing that last night with Seduisante lipstick. Here are some pictures! My SA also gave me a cute booklet for purchasing it. Sorry for the quality of the pics, I took them with my phone
