This lip mask smells delicious, but it’s not too overwhelming as the scent does fade after application if you are sensitive to that. It does not have a bad taste, but also does not have a candy taste that will make you tempted to keep licking your lips. I apply it with the silicone applicator it came with at night. It leaves my lips with a nice slip. In the morning, my lips feel nice and moisturized where I feel like I could skip the lip balm, though I usually apply it anyways because some of my lipsticks are drying. I definitely reccomend trying this out.
