Best Lip Balm for the money. It lasts a lot longer than you think it will and it does provide solid coverage and protection for at least 5 hours. And, that includes eating lunch with it on- When you have squeezed all you can out of the applicator, use a clean set of sizzors and cut the crimped end off. You'll find another five days worth of product inside that you can use your pinky to apply with. As you move down the container, simply cut more off so you never have to dig too far down. Goes without saying, but only use really clean hands (pinky finger) and keep the screw cap on tight, put the entire lip balm in a small 'snack' bag by Ziplock with air pressed out to keep fresh. If you don't want to carry this one around, just keep it in your car or bathroom for out of public use only. (I use mine wherever, I could care less about what other people think.)
