I think they are awesome. I love the stick form for lip balms, they are hydrating, prevents classic perm mattes from wrinkling up my lips and yet stays matte/satin-y (which I don't mind). The only thing is it's grossly overpriced for a lip balm (in my opinion). Rosebud lip balm does the same thing for my lips and it's a fraction of the price. I will definitely keep using the Tendertalk though. I'm a sucker for the packaging. But I might not repurchase.
