The hype is real
Pretty sure my friends are annoyed cuz I won't shut up about bkr (bottles + balm). The water bottles are functional, sturdy, and chic. I dropped my 1L bkr (forcefully, though accidentally, due to arms swinging while holding it) while walking down the street, but it survived with no cracks or scratches+the sleeve cleaned up easily! Despite my user error, it held up well.
The balm literally saved my lips (painful splitting+flaking to supple and smooth), even when not using it every day. Plus, it adds a delightful put-together look+feeling to my ensemble - no matter the attire.
At one point, one of my orders needed to be turned around due to a shipping issue. Bkr's customer service was fast, efficient, and professional, and the issue was resolved in record time. Absolutely top notch quality, both regarding the product as well as the customer service. The hype around this company (and its products) is legit.
