It has an herbal scent (you'll know its on but I don't personally find it off-putting. Also, don't lick your lips as it tastes really herbally and bitter. It feels very similar to the Jack Black lip balm until you put
it on your lips and it quickly melts to a smooth, yet slightly thick, oil. You
push down on the lever (see photo) to dispense the product and I find that it
only takes less than half a pump to thoroughly coat your lips. This has a gold-plated
tip, which apparently acts as an antiseptic and gives a nice cooling effect
(that could likely be achieved with any other metal tip). It also has a good
lasting power, but not as long as with the Jack Black or Nuxe products. When I
put the Hourglass lip treatment on at night, I wake up with hydrated, plump lips,
but I can’t feel any of the product still on.
Barneys describes the product as the
following:
"An
advanced anti-aging treatment for lips that combines botanicals, vitamins and
three powerful active ingredients in a supremely luxurious oil blend. No. 28
Lip Treatment Oil hydrates, rejuvenates and regenerates the delicate lip area
by boosting moisture levels, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and improving
lip shape, volume and softness. Equipped with an opulent 24-karat gold-plated
tip—it’s the gold standard for lips."
I personally
have no evidence that it has any anti-aging effects or that it "[improved] lip shape" although it definitely improves lip’s texture. It
is a fantastic product that I'd recommend to anyone with severely chapped lips
who's tried other products without sufficient results. I figure if I’m
lucky I’ll probably get around 40+ uses from it, which would make it about $1
per application—which is insane. I’ll try to only use it at times
when my lips really need it... but we all know how little restraint I have.
