We can say that this is not a balm, a light translucent lipstick. Shade rich, pearlescent, approached me perfectly (I'm fair-skinned brunette). Comfortably lying on the lips, does not spread, it does not stick, generally behaves very adequately. Stick has the same shape and size as popular here balms Hurraw. For me the only negative - I dislike balms in the presence of mint, but here it is not very pronounced, so that this fact lowly :)
