I would have to say from 1 - 10 I would give the Dona plumping lip balm a 7. I very much enjoy the smell of the Goji Berry lip balm that I purchased, however I did not enjoy the flakiness or the clumpy texture that the balm gets when you start to get a little further down the stick. I was also a bit surprised by the general appearance of the label and packaging. It looks like someone just took a moment to wrap the tube in a sticker.

I consider myself a bit of a lip balm addict. I put it on all through the day, and half the time don't notice that I am putting it on at the moment; however, this one I do. You can not help but notice how thickly it goes on and the bump of the clumps of Beeswax (I assume that is what those clumps are). I did not notice any major plumping. Some in my upper lip, but my lower is so fat all the time I might have missed it. All in all I would recommend this to most people, but warn them of its texture so they are not surprised.

There is no flavor to this balm that I noticed, however there is plenty of scent. You may want to check for allergies since there are many natural ingredients. I was very sure to check for certain key ingredients. The list of ingredients are as follows-

Olea Europeae (Olive) Fruit Oil, Beeswax, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Riicinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, Caprylic Capric Triglyceride, Stearalkonium Hectorite, Propylene Carbonate, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12, Simmondsia Chinesis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Menthoxypropanediol, Tetrahexyidecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C), Vanillyl Butyl Ether, Lycium Barbarum (Goji Berry) Fruit, Flavor.

I found that applying the lip balm with my finger cut down the thickness.

Honestly I have to say now that it is several weeks later, I still love it. Honestly the little bumps are still kind of annoying, but it actually feels nice when it's going on your lips. I'm the kind of person that uses chapstick or lip balm very often. I still have a little over half a stick.
