So I got this in Strawberry Crème. It's not my favorite...but still well worth the money.
The only thing is...like everyone else is saying, it makes your lips look white so you really have to rub it in.
The taste and smell are nice and it makes my lips feel soft...so I use it at bedtime. Once again, not my favorite...but it's still worth a try.
I have all four colors so I'll basically review them:
Orange Creme: the best flavor in my opinion! It smells and tastes amazing and it is TOTALLY wearable. It looks nice and has a great glossy finish. highly recommend this one!!
Blackberry Creme: my second favorite. this one is also wearable and has a nice glossy finish. It smells and tastes really pretty too.
Strawberry Creme: GREAT smell and taste. Not totally wearable in public: It makes your lips a little white and makes your lips look a little gross. However great to put on before bed.
Vanilla Creme: delicious smell and taste especially if you're a vanilla fan! It's less wearable than strawberry creme and makes your lips absurdly white. Also great to put on before bed (where no one can see your white nasty lips!)
All four colors really do soothe your lips and work well. I Also feel like they stay on for soooo long! Really nice, but i highly recommend orange and blackberry :)

Only use a small amount on one lip and rub them together or your lips will look white! Great moisture!

I liked this stuff a lot. It was just a basic balm and worked well when my lips needed some hydration. Overall, compared to Chapstick or something similar, this product went on more smoothly and felt more moisturizing... and I wear lip balm ALL. the. time.
from Madison, WI on 8/14/2008
I ordered the Blackberry Creme and found it to be a decent lip balm. The taste and color are ok, but for a dollar, it is a pretty good value. I use it overnight, and my lips are really soft in the morning. I will probably buy the Strawberry next time for myself and one for my daughter.
from Chicago, IL on 8/12/2008
I bought a few things from E.L.F and I just love everything but this has to be my favorite! I love lip balms and this was just great! It has a great smell, goes on easily, leaves your lips feeling and looking great! My boyfriend loves it too!The only thing with this is you have to reapply often but that was not a problem for me!
from Vancouver,WA on 8/12/2008
Ok so i got this while i was on Accutane (if not familiar with Accutane it is an acne treatment and it drys out your nose,lips,skin,and hair)so my lips were pretty chapped. I bought this at [...] to just give it a try, wth it was [$]. I chose the Strawbery Creme because i liked the color. I was SOOOOOOO shocked it actually tasted reallly good, just like strawberry creme! It also nurrished my lips! This is a great buy! It even tinted my lips a bit! Will for sure buy again. The only prolem i had was that if you put to much on it ends up on you top lip line, but wipes off easily.
from Grand Rapids, MI on 8/11/2008
I bought this in vanilla and i liked everything about it except the greasy finish it leaves. It has sort of a white greasy shine to it but that goes away with time. I liked it by itself but i liked it even better under gloss or lipstick. It made it glide on smooth and didn't make my lips dry when the color wore off. It didnt taste like much but i like it like that!
from Houston, TX on 8/7/2008
I really enjoyed this lip balm. It goes on nice and feels very soothing, and I can definitely notice it moisturizing my dry lips. I think the only way it would make your lips pale is if you sat there and layered it on, which isn't necessary. I got it in Blackberry, and the smell was very strong. Not exactly bad, but it hinted towards cough medicine. It also makes my lip glosses stay on longer when underneath them.
I didn't find them to stink or taste bad. I found the vanilla to have no taste but really like the blackberry. The vanilla looks pale like the older chapstick white. They are oily feeling but okay for something to throw on. I didn't think it lasted all night. It just left a weird aftertaste by morning and I had to reapply in the night.
This isn't a bad product. If left on overnight, it leaves your lips soft, however, this is very greasy and doesn't leave a nice feeling on my lips. It tastes ok, but that might be a good thing. It smells pleasant. For the price its not bad for your purse or right before bed.
from B, NY on 7/31/2008
This was okay but too cakey, and it goes on white and stay that way. Can only been worn at night.
When I got my lip balm it was melted, so it was hard to apply (I'm not sure how it would be if it is not melted). It did last a long time, but I didn't apply it again because it tasted really bad.
from NY on 7/31/2008
Alright, so it's not as ultra-moisturising or uber-natural like some (expensive) balms. However the tube is a mighty convenient applicator, it slips into a handbag or pocket and the balm is pleasant enough.
The flavours (or should I say scents; you can't actually taste the "flavours") are all very artificial-smelling, but what do you expect? The strawberry I like, it reminds me of a strawberry lipstick I had when I was a little girl.
As these are so cheap I get a few and leave them in various places around the house so I always have a balm on hand.
I use this at bedtime. It conditions all night long, leaving my lips softer than they've ever been the next morning! I wouldn't use this during the day, as it's pretty pale, unless I used it as a base for another color, but for overnight use, it's amazing!
from Springfield, Il on 7/29/2008
This was really great!
It's a little greasy, but the feeling and the FLAVOR more than makes up for it! It tastes sooooo good!
I'll definitely buy more of these!
I put it on before bed, and my naturally dry, chapped lips feel very soft in the morning.
from San Antonio, TX on 7/25/2008
I got the Strawberry Creme and it was almost white on my lips. It doesn't last more than a few minutes, so it is not very moisturizing.
from Tampa, FL on 7/22/2008
This is a pretty good lip balm. When I first used it I was surprised at how smooth it went on. It does a good job softening and moisturizing my lips. However, if you use too much it can make your lips look white and filmy. The taste is a little weird as well.
This pruduct really works!I have the strwberry creme and I think it works really well! I have dry lips and this really soothes my lips.
from NY on 7/20/2008
i love love the strawberry one. the color comes out sooo sheer, adding just enough color. perfect for summer
I love this stuff! It goes on so nicely and smells and tastes great!! My lips instantly look healthy, moisturized and kissable!! Love the small size, I can keep one everywhere I go!!
isnt worth buying
from Charlotte NC on 7/17/2008
I like using it, but I don't like the film when it is first applied. However, this would not cause me to discontinue using it. I just smooth it in. The moisture lasts a long time. It does not shine on my lips so I use gloss or other "shine" products I have.
One of my favorites! I just got this tonight and i love it already. It goes on very smooth, and despite online rumors of it tasting odd, i think it tastes great. I love the flavor, kinda remids me of vanilla ice cream and hand picked blackberries mmmmm.... I would use this everyday, and i think i am going to order more. Definately a great buy!!!
from south west Mo on 7/14/2008
i wear this at night, so my lips don't dry out, the only problem is the smell makes me hungry. I don't wear it out durring the day much because it makes my lips look pale.
from NC on 7/13/2008
I love it. I only have one problem. It smells bad.
from Texas on 7/12/2008
Therapeutic Conditioning Balm is as essential as mosturizer for your face or lotion for your hands. I use this product prior to lip liner and lipstick and before bed as a part of my nightly routine. The balm glides on easily and the Stawberry Creme Balm I purchased has a light, pleasant taste and no detectable scent, (unless you really really smell it!) This is a great product I will purchase again and again.
from Ontario, Canada on 7/11/2008
Last time i ordered i got 2 of the Therapeutic Conditioning Balms; vanilla and strawberry.
I thought that the strawberry was awesome, it left my lips nice and soft, but the smell, wasnt that great, but it wasnt terrible. The vanilla was terrible, it showed ever single little line on my lip, and made them look chapped. It also applied with lots of white/yellow residue. i would recomment other flavours; but NOT the vanilla.
Hey, me again, I told you how much I absolutely loved the vanilla, now I am here to tell you what I think about the strawberry and blackberry flavors. The strawberry is true to its color, a light pink, and does not really give you a cloudy look like the vanilla, and smells good plain and simple. The blackberry though smells like grape benedryl, great if you actually enjoy that smell, personally it makes me want to vomit. But otherwise it goes on even, isn't cloudy, and doesn't show up purple.
from Casstown, OH on 7/7/2008
This stuff is GREAT. I really, really like it. It goes on great and is small for purses. I would deffinitly recommend it. Oh it is so, so, so awsome for the price. After I bought 1 I went back and bought 2 of all the other ones. It is GREAT!!!!!!
from Chicago, IL on 7/6/2008
I can't live without my blackberry creme balm! I buy a few every time I order from ELF! It gives the perfect amount of shine and is the best fix for chapped and dry lips. Love love love. I will say though I bought the strawberry one and hated it. It was dry and gave me a really terrible 80s pink clumpy color. Maybe it's different flavor to flavor but I wouldn't trade my blackberry balm for ANYTHING!
from New Hampshire on 7/5/2008
I read all the comments about this being chalky and bad tasting, but I disagree. I ordered the Strawberry, and guess what? It tastes like strawberry. It just clumps a little bit when I put it on, but otherwise, it's great! No residue.
from norfolk, VA on 7/3/2008
I ordered it in Strawberry creme and I wish I ordered more! It goes on smooth, not sticky or greasy at all. It doesn't add much for color, but it makes my lips feel super soft, and I layer on top of the all-over color stick for moisture. I didn't notice any particular smell or taste. I normally were cherry ChapStick and I think that smells/tastes a lot more strongly.
This product is truly one of the best conditioning balms I have used. I have chapped lips it seems like all year long. As soon as I started using this, they were gone. Its nice by itself or under lip gloss.
from Diamond Bar, CA on 7/2/2008
I like to use this as my everyday lip balm. I have the strawberry and blackberry creme. Both of them taste great, go on smoothly, and are a light color. Great for a natural look.
i got the strawberry creme and it goes on my lips chunky white. the color wasn't what i expected. it's so clumpy, after i apply it, i have to use my finger and smooth it out. and the smell/taste is kinda weird, but tolerable. my stick looks like it wasn't mixed very well when made.
This product was a huge disappointment. I don't know about the other flavors, but Vanilla Creme was baddd. It really did leave a white residue, and it was an opaque white, not a sheer one. i tried to mask the intensity of the white by applying a clear lipgloss over it, but that didn't really help. It did kind of give me a nude color though, so i guess that's good? It doesn't help condition either. Regular chapstick works 100% better. overall, not happy.
from Santa Monica, CA on 6/27/2008
I got Strawberry Creme and Orange Creme, and I am really disappointed. Orange Creme smells delicious, but it tastes/smells like dish washing soap. I put on Strawberry, and the color is so uneven that it looks like you smothered milk on parts of your lips. I rolled some up and it collapse into a big thing of mush. It's not firm enough to be a moisturizer. It's NASTY.
from Madison, WI on 6/27/2008
I really like this lip balm - it tastes good and leaves a really sheer color on my lips. I bought the blackberry cream, and will probably pick up the strawberry in my next order.
from Charlotte, NC on 6/27/2008
THE BEST LIP BALM IVE EVER TRIED I LOVE IT!!!
this lip balm was kinda oily feeling, but after a minute your lips feel silky smooth! i love the strawberry color because it gives you a light dewy look, which looks AMAZINGLY SEXY with dark, dramatic eyes ;) there didnt seem to be a taste, but that doesnt really matter. i love this product and wear it all the time!
Very moisturizing and tastes great! I love the vanilla creme.
from Cleveland, Ohio on 6/23/2008
This is probably one of the greates lip balms I have ever used in my entire life. I goes on very smooth and lasts a very long time. The smell is great and so is the taste! I will definitly purchase this again and again!!
from Fresno, CA on 6/20/2008
I love this product. It is the best lip balm I have ever used. It makes your lips ssooooooo soft and silky. It does not take a lot, so it lasts for so time. I have never noticed that it has a good taste, but I have never ate my lip balms either. There is no color maybe just a slight tint. I would reccommend this to everyone in the world.
i really liked this product because on my lips it created that nude look...its easy...and looks good...and i love the way it softened my lips...

Orange smells like cleaner
strawberry was rancid smelling
vanilla smells ok but goes on whitish
blackberry was my favorite but all feel a lil greasy
from Edmond, OK on 6/18/2008
This lip balm would be pretty good if not for the perfumey taste it emits. When you put it on, it's like spraying perfume in your mouth, it tastes awful! It's sort of like licking a lot of stamps, too...LOL. The lip balm does go on smooth and the smell of it is nice (I have the orange cream one) but just be careful not to get it in your mouth!
from FL on 6/17/2008
I got the Strawberry Creme and love it. I put it on before bed and wake up with soft lips. Even use it during the day under a gloss and it seems to last awhile. I already ordered another one.
I love this! Smell and tastes good, feels great -super emollient lip balm, great to sleep in and wake up with soft lips!
This Item sucked It was horrible terrible waste of [$] it was clumpy thick chap stick will do you better also it will give you more product and the packaging sucks big time the cap would twist i had to work with the thing all the time and it broke never buy again
from Holyoke,MA on 6/10/2008
Smell is horrible maybe is the creme? it leaves ur lips a weird color wont buy again but it does live ur lips moistured but its uncomfortable to wear.
from Bushkill. PA on 6/8/2008
I bought this in Vanilla and Strawberry Creme and love the way they smell! The Vanilla does give a pale look to my lips but put a little gloss over it and it looks so sexy! It's very smooth but does crease a little, but it isn't a big deal. I always put on chapstick or some balm before going to bed and my lips were so soft and not chapped when I awoke with this! Love it!
My lips have been extremely dry lately so I used this product hoping to get them back to feeling soft. The product feels extremely soft so I thought it would moisturize my lips really well. Unfortunately it doesn't help much with extremely dry lips and it clumps up around the dry patches. On the other hand, I think for normal lips that don't need a whole lot of moisturizing this product might be a good choice, especially for such of a low price. It also tastes and smells really nice (I have Blackberry) and is compact enough that it could fit easily into your pocket or almost anywhere else.
This lip balm is amazing! It goes on smooth and stays on for hours! It really makes my lips soft and out of all the lip balms Ive ever used this is my favorite.
My only complaint is the strawberry one smells gross. Like its sour or gone bad or something. The blackberry one is delicious tho! It smells just like grape juice!
from Toronto, Canada on 6/4/2008
This is not a bad balm although it does leave a white residue on your lips. I bought Strawberry Creme and there was a slight pink tint to it. I wear it before I go to bed as well during the day when my lips are quite chapped (especially in the winter) and would use the Super Glossy Lip Shine SPF 15 over top to give them added moisture plus get great colour.
well, i bought this thinking it was going to be very good, but when i tried it, it was horrible. It was so greasy, and it had a good taste but it wasent worth it because it was litterally slipping off mylips!!it also does nothing to "condition" my lips. i usually love love love elf products, but deff not this one.you probably should save your buck and go to[...] and buy a carmax spf 30 lip balm for the same price or 50 cents more even.
from Texas on 5/29/2008
I bought the Vanilla, Strawberry, and Orange Creme; thinking they were flavored. NOPE! I got over that, but the wax doesn't go on clear, your lips actually become a little "cloudy". I had to put gloss over it just to get some color back. Over all it does "heal" lips very fast like it states it should.
This balm is great at night. I have been putting lip moisturizer on at night for years and this product worked well.
I bought one of each flavor and Im glad I did. I love all of them!! They feel great on. I will be buying more. Thanks for making such a great product!!
from Bayside, NY on 5/29/2008
I bought all four scents but I've only tried the strawberry and vanilla one so far. The strawberry one had strange lumps in it after a while and it smelled like it had gone bad even though I only had it for a couple of months. I gave the orange one to my friend and she had the same problem. Also, for some reason, my strawberry one was extra oily and the smell was too strong. The vanilla, however, stayed the same as it had been when I bought it and it's very useful, even though it kind of reminds me of my glade vanilla plug ins.

from riverdale ny on 5/23/2008
it works very well as a lip conditioner. i was a bit surprised in the reviews, seeing that people wore this as chap stick or whatnot, i tend to think of a thereputic lip balm as something you use as a primer before makeup, or around the house. i have all of them, the vanilla and strawberry ones do color your lips, but so do other more expensive thereputic balms i have used. if you want a chapstick or a lipgloss, get the candyshop tin, or one of elfs lipglosses, if you want something that preps your lips for makeup, keeps them soft, and lasts all night long, get this.
from Herlong, CA on 5/22/2008
This is a wonderful product. The vanilla is my favorite. It seems to really moisturize, and is a wonderful base for my other lip colors. I also like to use it around my eyes like a moisturizing eye cream. It helps my eye makeup last longer, and my sinsitive, dry skin feels wonderful. Great job ELF. This is a wonderful and useful product.
from Toronto, Ont on 5/18/2008
I have the orange and blackberry creme and have never had a problem with it leaving any residue or odd taste/ texture. Perhaps this is due to a difference in formulation between Canada and the US? This is the closest i've ever come to chapstick without the price tag. Leaves lips with a natural almost matte finish. Only problem is the cap system which slides off easily and ends up covering everything in my pocket with balm (at least my hands smell good and are nicely moisturized!)
I LOVE this product. It smells great and really softens my lips. I use it a lot. It's great. The only thing is that it is really soft and it kind of melts when you put it to your lips and it leaves a ring of melted stuff around the tube after you put it on. Well, that's what happens to me at least. But, this is a great product!
from CA on 5/14/2008
This is alright chap stick. The scent (I ordered orange creme) is subtle, which is good because I don't like overpowering smells.
The only problem is the quality of the case. It's pretty bad, you have to be careful and treat it well.
In my opinion, chap sticks are supposed to be thrown around (in purses), so they are supposed to withstand a little harshness. I will have to be nice to this!

I ordered the strawberry creme,, It leaves a white tint on your lips. it doesn't even hydrate. Very gross and unattractive. Also it smells like vomit. very unpleasent.. Not to sound gross. Buy something else for elf with that dollar =D
from Georgia on 5/13/2008
I opted for Strawberry Creme after reading that Vanilla made people's lips white. However, the strawberry turned my lips a slightly pinkish white! I ended up layering it with a coral lipgloss and that as a result made my lips a pleasant pink shade, so I guess it works in the end. It definitely takes care of the cracked lips. I'm not crazy about the taste though-- it's TOO sweet.
this is amazzzing. i love it and the taste of the straw berry dosent get any better than that baby! wow..... never thought i woul
