Why did I only buy the Apple Balm now... I used it so well on my trip. I always thought I could just layer lip gloss over the Glow Balm, but I finally bought it this time and I'm very satisfied. First of all, the color comes out so clear without any dullness or heavy feeling, which I think is the biggest advantage. Also, the Glow Thick Tint Balm has a built-in silicone tip, so you don’t need to carry a separate brush, which is a huge plus. I bought other colors along with the Apple Balm and carried them together, applying with the Apple Balm brush. If you’re buying multiple colors, buying one Thick Tint Balm and carrying other colors with it is a really convenient way!
