EOS Chapstick Rant

There has been a huge hype over the little ball looking chapsticks made by EOS, they have been getting great reviews so of course I had to try one out...I was really disappointed. :(

I will say that it smells great, like tropical fruit, and is easy to find in my purse but, that's about it! It goes on very waxy and feels like a film over my lips. It also dried out my lips so much that they started to crack and I had to buy a lip treatment to get the moisture back. I do not live in a climate that is very cold so that was not a factor on my driness nor did I ever have driness issues in the past, so this product had to be the culprit.
I really wanted to like these too...maybe I bought a defective one on accident.
