Product Review: Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment
By Glinda
Having heard the hype about this lip balm, I was excited to receive it as a “birthday gift” from Sephora. Of course I had to buy something to get my gift, but whatever.
Well, I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t quite live up.
It does go on nicely, I will give it that. It also has a screw-on cap that makes it perfect for purses.
But that’s about all.
I’m not a fan of lemon scents, so it immediately gets a minus from me on that, although some of you may love it.
I don’t find this product to be long-lasting in any way. If there is one thing I look for in a lip balm, it is that I don’t have to keep reapplying it. For me, this stuff lasts for about a half hour, and then my lips feel as dry as if I’d never put anything on at all. BIG minus.
Chapstick will save you a bunch of money and works better.
Or, if you prefer pricey balms, I highly recommend this one.

I actually have had the opposite experience with the Fresh lip treatment (though my balm of choice is the Rose version). It lasted forever for me, and I didn’t mind the smell in the least.
I hate the price, a lot – I actually wound up spending more or two other lip treatments that I wanted to use to sub in – one of them I wound up being allergic to, and the other was a set of three minis (Korres, which I highly recommend as well). I haven’t been able to bring myself to spend the bank on the Fresh again, but I may have to when my current balm runs out. It’s the best for what I want from a lip treatment, even if it is spendy.
