Playing grown-up with your mother's make-up collection. You may get yelled at, but she'll buy you a berry lipstick balm to make up for it.

Notes
Smells like a whole block of strawberry Starbursts, complete with just a bit of waxiness.The bright pink appearance supports this impression.
In the cup, it's more layered: strawberry first, then a smooth transition to Gala apples. The smallest hint of lime.
