It really keeps hot beverages hot and cold beverages cold. And recently I've been using it when I eat ice cream so it doesn't melt as quickly as it would if I use a regular cup. Also a few days ago I accidentally hit the cup when it was on my desk but the lid did not separate from the cup and more than 3/4 of the drink was still in the cup (konti lang yung nag spill). Galing!!! For me it's worth the price. Plus the dragonfly color is soooooo pretty!!! I wish BeautyMnl will have stock on the other designs. This will be a great gift for the rest of my family (pero siyempre dapat magkakaiba ng design ng cup).
