A few months back I wrote about some love & toast balms I picked up at Whole Foods while I was shopping with a friend, the review for which can be found here. When I looked at their website online there were still a couple flavors I wanted to try that I had not found at Whole Foods and still have yet to find them even though I check almost every week when I stop there. To my luck, when I was shopping on Drugstore.com I searched lip balm and love & toast balms were some of the balms that popped up! Yippee! Not only did they have the flavors I wanted, but if you bought two balms you got one free, oh what a lucky day! I was finally able to try the other flavors I have been looking for!
Company: love & toast
Flavors: Strawberry Fields, Blood Orange, and Limeade. Unfortunately the Strawberry Fields melted a bit during shipping, but regardless it smelled delicious was dead on strawberry. It was so sweet and perfect for summer. I haven't bought a plain strawberry balm in a while and it was a pleasant visit from an old favorite. As for the Blood Orange, I was really disappointed. It has hardly a scent at all. I had to inhale for about 15 seconds to get even a tiny whiff of citrus. I was really hoping it would be amazing since, like I've said a thousand times, I LOVE blood orange balms. The Limeade is a dead on Limeade. Very tart and sour yet sweet all at the same time.
Wear: The Strawberry Fields went on so creamy. All three went on very smooth, no resistance was found upon application. They last about two hours too which is great. My lips feel nourished and I feel like the balm goes on thick enough that you don't need more than one or two swipes.
Packaging: I love these funky looking labels! They're not super funky and outrageous but each one is unique. They're so colorful and different from one another. I love to look at them! Otherwise, the tubes are your average sized lip balm tubes.
Price: $3, which is definitely not bad for a natural balm.
Overall:
Pros: Flavor, Wear, Packaging, Price
Cons: Some scents were weak
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 twists, the rating would have been higher if the Blood Orange was better. But you should definitely check out at least one of these balms.
Ingredients: Olive fruit juice, beeswax, jojoba seed oil, shea butter fruit, cocoa seed butter, natural flavor, hemp seed oil, aloe leaf, vitamin E, and stevia rebadiana leaf
Have you tried love & toast balms before? What's your favorite flavor?
Omg.. I've found my utopy! A whole blog dedicated just to lip balms!!! I'm an addict too... but my lips are very sensitive so I need a lip balm all the time -_-
ReplyDeleteI mean I need very moisturizing lip balms, so that's the first thing I look for when I try one.
I don't know if you've tried but I absolutely recommend Lavera Basis Sensitive ;)
