When the lip balms first came out, I confess I wasn't interested, not even with the purples like Fantasy and Kink. I'm not a huge lip-balm person. I prefer opaque color. When the Nudes matte lipsticks were released, I picked up Secret which was a little less pink-toned than I thought it would be, but was still a good matte lip color. When the Gilded Flora matte colors were released...I made up for lost time.
I do like the tubes these are in. They're a textured cylinder so that the lipsticks are unlikely to roll far if they're horizontal on a flat surface. The tube oclor doesn't always match the lipstick color precisely, but it's fairly close - definitely unique enough to let you know which color you're grabbing, the cooler red or the warmer red. The balm formula tends to feel a little grainy after the first few uses. I'm not sure why that is, and it doesn't seem to cause much interference with color application. Both the balm and the lip color do transfer off fairly readily while eating or drinking.
