Even More Orange Thyme Balms!

As you should all know by now, I'm absolutely head over heels in love with Orange Thyme balms. Ever since I first reviewed them, I've been hooked. I reviewed them a second time because I just had to have more of those amazing balms! These balms are some of the absolute best balms I've ever used and I probably own almost every single flavor. I especially take advantage of every sale Orange Thyme has; every sale is an opportunity for me to try every flavor she has. If you haven't tried Orange Thyme balms yet, you better get on it and make it a point to do so!

It was very grey and rainy the day these arrived
and I really wanted to take a picture before I
ripped them open. I love the extra care taken
in packaging these lip balms.

Company: Orange Thyme

Flavors: Strawberry Banana, Rhubarb Soda, Clementine Soda, Cantaloupe, Pina Colada, and Pineapple Cherry. The Strawberry Banana is a perfect blend of sweet strawberries and ripe bananas. I'm not usually a fan of this combination, but in this lip balm it totally works for me. Like I've said before about Rhubarb, I've never tried it so I'm not exactly sure what it is supposed to be like, but the Rhubarb Soda is awesome! It's very sweet and "fizzy" believe it or not. It totally smells like fizzy soda. It's very sweet and makes me want to try rhubarb sometime! Obviously I love citrus everything and anything, especially in lip balms, and I had high expectations for Clementine Soda. My expectations were definitely met by this balm. It's citrusy, orange soda with all the bubbles. It's a lighter citrus scent, not exactly like orange soda i.e. Sunkist, which is fabulous. Just like the Rhubarb Soda, it is very sweet and bubbly. The Cantaloupe is a very light melon scent; I didn't know what to expect since I'm not a huge cantaloupe fan, but it was very pleasant. The Pina Colada is what I was really looking forward to, I absolutely love Pina Colada, pineapple, or coconut anything so this was the one I was mainly shopping for. The coconut is much stronger in this than pineapple, if you've tried the Toasted Coconut balm from Orange Thyme, it's very similar to that but just a teeny tiny bit less strong (the Toasted Coconut is a strong toasted coconut scent). But every now and then through the coconut scent you get a whiff of sweet, ripe pineapple. Yum! I was SUPER excited to see that I received a freebie in my order: Pineapple Cherry. I don't think this flavor is for sale on her site anywhere; I think it's an older flavor or a new one? Either way, I was really excited to receive it! You never really find Pineapple Cherry as a lip balm flavor and this one did not disappoint. The scent is very light but you can definitely tell there is a mix of pineapple and cherry within it. I think this one is a winner in my book. If you like pineapple and/or cherry, this may be a balm for you to check out.


Wear: These balms go on SO smooth! They are definitely in my top 3 smoothest balms. They go on thick enough that one or two swipes is all you really need. These balms moisturize your lips and provide coverage for two hours or more.

Packaging: These cute little balms come in your average sized lip balm tubes and each have a colored label that pertains to the flavor on the label. The color scheme matches the stated flavor and the flavor is written in a cute, curly-bordered (yeah I know that doesn't make much sense unless you see the label) section in a font that looks hand written.

Price: $3.25 a piece, absolutely perfect for these fabulous balms. When they're on sale you can get them for around $2 and some change which is fabulous.

Overall:
Pros: Flavors, Wear, Packaging, Price
Cons: Absolutely nothing

Rating: 5 out of 5 twists; these are some phenomenal balms. If you haven't tried them out yet, you're surely missing out!

Ingredients: Cocoa & Shea Butters, Candelilla Wax, Natural and Essential Oils, Avocado Oil.
