- “I think they're quite slippy”13:19–13:23

- “This has been the bane of my existence. It's just unbelievable how much product is in this and how long it has taken me to use it up”12:06–12:13

- “My lips get dry really quickly when I would use this and it doesn't feel like it's holding in the moisture and the hydration”
