What Makes the essence ready, teddy, GO! Blind Box Lip Balm Different?

• Blind box format: the design stays a mystery until the box is opened.
• Sticky, slide-open teddy case: the case opens with a sliding mechanism, and its sticky back lets it attach to surfaces.
• Hidden Secret Teddy: essence's images conceal the fifth design behind a question mark.

Formula and Packaging

• Formula: Boozyshop describes a transparent, glossy formula with a subtle shine and a bubblegum scent. Durbin Rock says the balms appear clear once applied, while the bears differ in color.
• Ingredients: listed ingredients include jojoba seed oil, argan kernel oil and sweet almond oil, with fragrance. Boozyshop's listing tags the balm vegan and cruelty free.
• Case: according to Glam-Junkies' summary of the product description, the teddy can attach to phones, mirrors or tablets. Durbin Rock says the back of the bear slides off to reveal the balm.
