I am a huge fan of Balmshot - have been for years - and was really looking forward to this new product. It's still a quality product, but it feels a little "soft" compared to the original and I didn't care for the texture. I'm still a firm believer in Balmshot, but this product just didn't work for me - I gave away both tubes. I know that there are some people who think that the original is a bit too "hard" to put on and if that's the case, then this variety would be perfect for them.
