Warmth Mineralist Lip Gloss-Balm : Loves it until I realized my lips were drying

At first, I thought this looked and felt amazing & my bf loved how it looked and felt on me too. Confidently, we bought two shades for me and thought the price = quality. However, as some other reviewers have said, this needs frequent application. Furthermore, I did not have a drying or cracked lips issue until after using this lip balm religious. Thus, as much as I love its initial effect, I can't keep it as my primary lip gloss. Maybe when my lips are happier after this winter, I'll use it occasionally, but it cannot be my ride-or-die kind of lip balm, unfortunately. I know it now to have an overall drying effect (or not being moisturizing enough). It's not pretty on cracked lips, nor do I want cracked lips.
