Used 2x before deciding the scent and texture wasn’t for me. I throughly sanitized the applicator with alcohol prep pads :) I also, unfortunately, tore the box a little opening it, but have repaired it with tape. Product Description: “The task: build a better lip gloss. The result: an evolution of the form. Lightweight and ultra-moisturizing, Cool Gloss melts into lips to plump and awaken with natural peppermint. Never tacky, sticky, or heavy, Cool Gloss goes on and feels good. Can also be tapped onto cheeks for tint and high shine.”
