Editor Review

Rated a 9

Blistex Silk & Shine blends together the best qualities of balms and glosses. It has SPF protection and silk extracts, plus vitamins A, B5 and E to moisturize. Lips feels soft and look healthy no matter how dry they were to begin with. It also has the shine factor of a gloss, but without the accompanying stickiness. You may feel silly using a lip balm as makeup, but the color-free shine and healthy look is the perfect pairing for dramatic eye makeup.

    I love this stuff!

    I really like this chapstick. It is very lightweight and smooth and leaves your lips soft and slightly glossy which is nice from a chapstick. It's the only chapstick I have tried that isn't waxy and thick; and it even has SPF! Oh, and the scent is great--light and slightly fruity. A May 8, 2008, 1:47 pm

    Wow the perfect lip balm!

    by RavenLoudspeakr (231 reviews)
    Top 100 ReviewerTrusted Review
    This stuff is seriously the greatest. I like it so much that I make my boyfriend use it! It's pretty cheap, never over 5 dollars for 2 tubes, has a fruity smell, has SPF 15, and looks natural. The shine is very subtle, and your lips feel soft and great. The balm doesn't gather up in the corner of your lips like many other l...ip products, and your hair won't stick to your mouth either! It lasts a pretty long time unless you eat or drink, but it feels so nice you won't mind spending 10 seconds to apply it again. It's pretty light but packs in so much work. The tube is a little bigger than a normal chapstick tube but that's a small issue. March 29, 2009, 3:46 pm

    Love It

    I love it. It has the perfect shine, with spf and really moisturizes my lips. The cheap tube lasts a long time and so does the balm! It makes the perfect nude lip color! But it doesn't really glide over my lips. May 13, 2008, 10:36 am

    It Really Is Silky and Shiny

    by Medic586 (64 reviews)
    Top 500 ReviewerTrusted Review
    I liked this product because it did, indeed, leave my lips soft, silky, and shiny. I tended to use it more as a lip gloss than a lip balm. Unfortunately, I didn't like the smell, and it wasn't heavy enough to have my lips feel protected as they would with a lip balm. Nonetheless, it does feel nice on. April 21, 2008, 9:32 am

    This is a great product. Okay so Chapstick is the original lip balm but this one is ligher-less waxy and has a nice glossy shimmer. You can wear it over or under lipstick or instead of. It conditions too. I like it a lot. May 26, 2009, 11:04 am

    Affordably great!

    by nicci4694 (25 reviews)
    It's winter and I've been on a lip moisturizer tear. This product was a great surprise. It's super cheap, melts into your lips and leaves very little greas behind. You can apply lipstick right over it. It doesn't last long, but it's cheap enough to reapply often. May 4, 2009, 1:31 pm

    BUY NOW!!

    by JrMart (11 reviews)
    What originally drew me to this product was the fact that it had SPF and Vitamin A and E. I'm a sucker for products with Vitamin E in it. I love the fact that its in a lipstick like tube, not a normal chapstick tube. The formula is amazing! Its not thin, not think, it really is silky and does give your lips an amazing s...hine. It gives your lips a porcelein look without the goopyness and stickyness of a lip gloss. It also has a tiny tiny bit of shimmer in it. The smell is amazing, a really light fruity smell. I used this as a daily lip conditioner, morning afternoon and night. My lips conditioned has improved since using this product, I've been using this for over 4 years. I HIGHLY recommend it!! Especially for the price. April 30, 2009, 2:54 pm

    the steel ball applicator is different

    by itsadoozie (63 reviews)
    Top 500 Reviewer
    It definitely lives up to the name Silk and Shine! The roller ball applicator is something to get used to for me. I like the scent, but it didn't last long enough when I put it on. I like trditional stick applicators with the waxy stick consistency better April 22, 2009, 7:12 pm

    OK

    by libra1004 (71 reviews)

    I really like the smell of the balm and I like that it has SPF but after a good year of using a cheap dollar lip balm that i cant find anywhere anymore, I found that this didn't moisturize my lips well, and I put a lot on. I found that after about 10 to 20 minutes i needed to put more on because my lips got really dry. I wo...n't be buying this again. November 19, 2009, 4:57 pm
