Sugar Factory: Piña Colada Lollipop

Last night we were running into the Mirage to escape the cold and saw the Sugar Factory store right by the entrance. We ran in for just a second to see if they carried lip balm and I quickly spotted it by checking one of the best places to look for them, near the register! Always check near the register for more unusual stores; for your normal grocery or convenience store check in the pharmacy section near cold and flu. 



Company: Sugar Factory

Flavors: Piña colada lollipop, green apple lollipop, natural, cherry lollipop. Today I only picked up the Pina Colada Lollipop since the balms were a little too much for me to splurge and buy all of them. It smells delicious and very much like the cocktail (almost too much for me after having many today in the casinos) but quite pleasant for the sober mind. Perfect mesh of coconut and pineapple, I usually find balms that are too much coconut or too much pineapple. 

Wear: Stiff, not a smooth glide but not super hard and not grainy. It has a good coverage but it feels as if the product is just sitting on my lips versus really penetrating them. It also feels a little thick when going on. It also has SPF 15 which is great for the Las Vegas sun (I'll test it tomorrow while running around). It did last over an hour, it would have lasted longer but I had about three cups of water while wearing it. 

Packaging: Cute packaging, standard tube with white label on it, Sugar in large letters and factory in smaller letters in rainbow color. Reminiscent of a candy store and childhood, yellow rubber ducky included.

Price: $5, a splurge but I fell for the packaging. It was so cute! Definitely don't see these in normal stores.

Overall:
Pros: SPF, flavors, packaging, long lasting
Cons: Price, Feels thick, not the smoothest application 

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 twists, I would like a smoother application and better wear and don't think $5 is worth it for this balm but Sugar Factory is known for its "couture lollipops" so perhaps for that type of audience, it isn't that much.
