I'm not the biggest fan of lip products with shimmer.  Shimmer can danger on becoming too frosty, so I usually try to steer clear of these kinds of cosmetics, especially ones that specifically say "shimmer" on the tube.  However, because I'm a fanatic of lip balms, especially tinted lip balms, I had to pick up two of these up and honestly, I'm glad I did.

An affordable $1.99 a piece, these products are packed with a pigmented punch of golden shimmer that don't look unpresentable on the lips.  They give the lips a beautiful sheen and provides a soothing moisture that Wet n Wild claims the products to have.

There is a minty taste to these, so heads up to those who don't like scented/minty products.  I have no issues with the twist up packaging.  The tubes are sturdy, and I'm not worried about breakage when tossing these guys into my purse.

I find both shades to be very wearable for everyday.  They won't last for hours on the lips due to their balmy texture, but I don't mind reapplying.  Maple is my favorite of the two; I can't resist lip colors with hints of orange.

My only gripe is that the shade names are not listed at the bottom of the tube, only the numbers (104 and 105).  To find the shade names, you must check the Wet n Wild site.

There are a total of nine shades available, and at such an inexpensive price, I don't see why you shouldn't pick up a shade or two!
