Lip balms/treatments

I got two Pepsi lip balms and an Aquafina Hydrating Lip Oil for a dollar a piece. The pepsi balms are vanilla and wild cherry. The wild cherry one smells faintly of Pepsi and barely of cherry, but the vanilla one is dead on with the Pepsi scent and I detect the vanilla as well. They aren't glossy but they are moisturizing and the wild cherry one is faintly tinted. They are mildly flavored as well. I love them!
As for the Aquafina Hydrating Lip Oil; that's just what it is, a hydrating lip oil. Don't buy this with the expectation of a gloss, or you won't be satisfied. Although it is very shiny & glossy, it doesn't have the consistency or lasting power of a gloss because your lips absorb it. I bought it knowing it was an oil product. It has a lot of moisturizing properties and oils in it to help hydrate your lips. It is also very minty, as it contains menthol. Between the moisturizing properties and the menthols slight plumping properties (although this isn't a lip plumper at all), it makes lips appear fuller and diminishes the appearance of lip lines. I really like this as well, especially with winter coming and about to wreak havoc on my skin and lips.
