I have always known that lip balms tend to dry out my lips and forces me to constantly reapply. I don't like that fact and I have recently discovered that lipgloss is a great solution.
This Mentha line of lip gloss is very low maintenance - I can put it on without a mirror because it is rather sheer. It also doesn't feather and it's not streaky. It's very comfortable to wear since it isn't sticky.
Longevity: The trade-off for the non-stickiness is that it only has moderate staying power. The thicker a layer you apply, the longer it will last. On a good day, it will stay 2 or 3 hours. On a normal day, I talk, drink water, eat, et cetera, and so all of these elements shorten the staying power of the lip gloss. This may sound weird, but sometimes the lip gloss seeps down so that I can taste the mint. It is not at all unpleasant, because the mint flavor is fine and doesn't taste plastic-y or bitter. However, this probably contributes to the short lasting power.
