Hey all!
I know last week I posted about the huge haul of balm I ended up with and somehow this week I ended up with the same kind of deal! July has definitely been a crazy ton of lip balm buying for me and I definitely need to reign in my lip balm buying in the next couple of months (unless there's a big sale, of course). I thought you guys would like to take a peek at what I came home with this week.
The boyfriend and I went up to Wisconsin this past weekend to attend the Bristol Renaissance Fair. Since we had never been there before I asked him if he thought I'd be able to find some new lip balms there (I am The Lip Balm Wrangler after all, I can find lip balm anywhere!). He told me he doubted it...we all know who was right in this scenario. I came home with three new ones from the Renaissance Fair and found one at Mars' Cheese Castle (I told you, anywhere. I'm also a huge cheese addict.) When we were driving from the Ren Fair to Mars' Cheese Castle I saw this grocery store I'd never seen before called Woodman's. I was intrigued because I LOVE going to grocery stores I haven't been to before in hopes that they carry lip balms I don't already have (are there still any I don't have, haha). That's how this big pile came about:
These three are from the Ren Fair:
Can you guess where I got this one from?:
I also received my order from Hurraw! Balm:
And my order from Orange Thyme:
And an order from For Goodness Grape:
There's a lot coming up these next couple of weeks so definitely stay tuned!
Have you received anything new lately? Or tried any of these brands above?

Ooh that new Carmex looks exciting! I love Carmex products for the winter time.
ReplyDeleteI think it is the best one out of all the Carmex lip balms I have. But I'll have to test run all of the other ones to do a real comparison, so far though, I love it!

Yay for Wisconsin! (I'm Wisconsin born, raised, living.) And yay for Bristol RenFaire! I've only been there once, which is crazy considering I love all things medieval. Did you take pics there? I'd love to see. :)
ReplyDeleteHad to laugh at that Udder Stick. LOL

Wisconsin is just a short drive away from me and I love every chance I get to go up there because it's SO different from Chicago. I was so busy running around since we got there just 3.5 hours before it closed that I didn't get to take any pictures at all. I think I may have one of just a random setting but nothing really awesome =(. I took more pictures at Mars' Cheese Castle than the RenFaire haha.
DeleteI laughed too when I first saw the Udder Stick but it really is a great lip balm!

I LOVE the Palmer's Dark Chocolate and Peppermint lip butter!!! I used that CONSTANTLY when I lived in Australia, and boy was I distraught to find that no stores in Ontario sell it! :( Thankfully, I found someone on ebay who sold out of production and overstock lip balms/glosses, and I was able to buy some more. It's very petrolium-feeling though, which I never realized until I had gone back to some other balms. It feels great going on, but I found it did tend to dry out my lips a lot and need constant application.
ReplyDeleteAnd YAY for finally getting For Goodness Grape!! I have another order on the way from Lisa, as well as I just bought my first lip balm from Orange Thyme. Can't wait to get them! :)

I'm so sorry that you couldn't find them near you, but at least you found an online seller! I'm glad I found a store that sells them (even if it is an hour and a half drive away). I'll definitely keep that shop in mind for the next time a lip balm I love goes out of production!
DeleteOrange Thyme balms are the absolute BEST balms you'll ever try, I hate to say it, but they totally blow For Goodness Grape out of the water.
--The Lip Balm Wrangler
Haha well there's a perfect example of subjective tastes! The consistency of Orange Thyme balms are lovely, but I dislike balms that don't have sweetener. I don't like the taste of them. So while I do love Orange Thyme's consistency, I prefer For Goodness Grape's flavour combos and the fact that she uses sweeteners to trick my brain into thinking that I taste what I smell! :) (also, I ordered the Lip Butter Pot in Smoothie flavour, and it tastes like soap! :( Very disappointed in that one)
DeleteOh here's that seller on eBay in case you're interested (or haven't already got a boatload of lip balms, lol): http://stores.ebay.ca/Overstockmadness-123/LIP-BALMS-LIP-GLOSS-LIPSTICK-/_i.html?_fsub=501369013&_sid=683579113&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322
