Twist and Pout : Not just your ordinary lip moisturizer.

I am pretty much attracted to this product because of the packaging. They are just so.. pretty! This is not your ordinary lip balm stick. This is a fashion statement!!! You have to agree with me on this.The packaging itself is irresistible and there are plenty of design to choose from!

I first heard about this from Serendipity. When they first bring this in I was wowed to no end!!! They are really pretty! lol I said pretty too many times didn't I? Still I keep my composure, didn't lose control. I have not been spending unnecessarily so I will not cave in for a lip balm! After few weeks or so came in the email saying they are waiving postage fee!! There goes my strong will 

I have been earning cult points from them so I redeem this lip balm with the points I have accumulated over the months. I got myself two of these pretty baby! I have high hopes for this you see! To see if I am really satisfied, do read on..

Since I have bragged about how pretty the packaging is. Let me show you the close up pictures and some explanation before I move on to the lip balm itself.

Twist and pout come with detachable ring (rim) with a clasp and a charm attached to it.

If you are worried that your ring (rim) might get rusty, don't be. They are not made from metal.Only the clasp and charm is.

No doubt with the ring, your T&P will be bulkier and heavier, not to worry, you can always detach them. T&P is still cute even on its own.

To me the key chain is pretty useful. You can hook your lip balm to your clutch, handbag..or even your bikini. lol

This is how your T&P look like when you first open it. Pull out the seal and you will see the product.

When I first look at the real product behind the seal I was surprised. It was different. As you can see from the picture I took from the website the product seem to be protruding out from the bottom half. Similar with EOS lip balm when in fact in real life T&P does not look that way. They do not even go beyond the tip... I do mind because I have to dip my finger in the product instead of just swiping the product directly on my lips..

Putting the fact that the illustration is not the same with the product you are getting, the lip balm itself is pretty nice. They do keep lips soft and moisturize but they certainly will not help in treating chapped lips.

T&P comes in two different types, clear and shimmer. The one I have with me is shimmer.

From the pot, the lip balm look pinkish with micro pink and green shimmers. On my lips, they look glossy and sparkly without any noticeable tint.

According to their website this smells citrus-y. To me, they do not. Well maybe a little but more of a sweet scent.
Lastly, the biggest turnoff that may refrain me from repurchasing this in the future is the taste of the lip balm. They are so freaking sweet! Very sweet! It feels as if you are putting sugar syrup on your lips. Very impossible not to lick your lips! Plus the sweet scent lingers just below your nose and you know that it will taste exactly how it smells.. Tell me how can you resist that?

Pros:

• Gorgeous packaging
• Easy to travel with 
• A lot of design to choose from
• Nice scent
• With SPF20
• Refill available for purchase
• Keep lips soft and moisturize

Cons:

• Very sweet taste
• Does not treat chapped lips
• Not hygienic application (by dipping in fingers into the pot)
• Only available online

Conclusion
Th biggest turnoff for me is the sweet taste. But I do believe some of you might actually love the lip balm because of this, so if you are not like me ( I hate lip product with taste) this lip balm is definitely for you! Gorgeous packaging with not so overwhelming scent. Plus once you run out, you can just buy the refill at a much cheaper price instead of buying the whole thing.

I bought mine from Serendipity at RM40 each but if you are outside of Malaysia you can visit Twist & Pout and buy from online retailers listed.
