Sheen Screen SPF50 Hydrating Lip Balm
Summary of Reviews
Ultra Violette Sheen Screen SPF50 Hydrating Lip Balm has a thick, glossy texture that several find rich and hydrating, with SPF 50 sun protection. Alexandra Anele says it doesn't taste bad and smells like birthday cake, but AliceintheRabbitHole strongly disagrees, calling the taste "a horrifying, just awful sensation" that lingers. Amanda Z also notes occasional bitterness, so taste sensitivity is a real gamble.
