I don’t even know where to begin with this Pepsi Cherry Flavoured Lip Balm. When I first saw it, my millennial heart skipped a beat—I had similar ones as a teenager, so I grabbed it without hesitation. But what followed was pure disappointment.
The Scent & Taste – Nothing Like Cherry or Cola
One of the biggest letdowns was the lack of any real cherry or Pepsi scent. I expected a nostalgic, sweet, and fizzy flavor, but instead, it was just a vague, unidentifiable scent that didn’t remind me of cola, cherry, or anything pleasant. The taste? Just as bad—bland and almost plastic-like.
Formula & Texture – Greasy and Unpleasant
The texture was another disaster. Instead of a smooth and moisturizing balm, it felt like a thick, greasy layer sitting on my lips. It didn’t absorb well, leaving an uncomfortable, waxy feeling that made me want to wipe it off immediately.
Packaging – Bulky and Hard to Use
The packaging looked fun at first, but it turned out to be bulky and impractical. The stick is too thick, making precise application nearly impossible. Since it has a slight red tint, applying it outside the lips made me look like I had messy lipstick or just failed at makeup entirely.
Final Verdict – Straight to the Trash
I really tried to love this lip balm for weeks, but in the end, it wasn’t worth it. The poor scent, greasy formula, and awkward application made it a total fail. I had high hopes for some fun nostalgia, but unfortunately, this Pepsi Cherry Lip Balm was a waste of money and went straight into the trash.
