Company: Orange Thyme
Flavors: Blueberry Pomegranate, Chocolate Pomegranate, Peaches and Honey Cream, Grapefruit Strawberry, and Ginger Peach. I didn't really know what to expect of the Blueberry Pomegranate, since blueberry and pomegranate balms are so iffy when not combined. I think I smell a bit more blueberry in this than pomegranate, but regardless it's pretty nice! It's not too sweet and not too fruity; both of which I really enjoy in a balm, but I won't knock the flavor for personal preference. The Chocolate Pomegranate is a strong chocolate scent with nice undertones of sweet pomegranate. It reminds me of a chocolate covered cherry. It's quite pleasant! If you like chocolate, you'll like this one. The Peaches and Honey Cream is a nice light scent, you can definitely tell there's honey in there! I'm not a fan of honey so this isn't my favorite balm, but it is a nice sweet, creamy scent with a soft scent of peaches. It's slowly growing on me as I write this. I thought that I would really love the Grapefruit Strawberry because I thought the balm would be a sweet, fruity balm. I think I smell more Grapefruit in this balm than Strawberry, but it's not the sour and tart grapefruit that I was looking for. It also reminds me of a floral balm for some reason, I don't know why. It's not awful though! The Ginger Peach is probably my favorite balm out of the bunch! I've wanted this balm for a long time and I'm so glad I finally got it. It's a perfect blend of spicy ginger and sweet peach, but not crazy over powering on the ginger (which is great because I'm not a HUGE fan of ginger). It also smells like there's a bit of coconut in it for some reason; the coconut Rachel uses in her balm is pretty distinct and I can swear I smell it in mine!
Wear: These balms always go on so smooth and last forever! I've never had a single complaint with how these balms glide on. There's really not much else I can say about these.
Packaging: These balms come in your average sized lip balm tube with colored labels to match the indicated flavor. The labels have a cute little border around where the flavor name goes and the flavor name is displayed in a font that makes it look like it's hand written. I really like the design of these labels.
Price: $3.25 a piece, really not bad at all! Rachel also has a sale at least once per season.
Overall:
Pros: Flavors, Wear, Packaging, Price, everything!
Cons:
Rating: 5 out of 5 twists! If you STILL haven't tried Orange Thyme balms, I don't know what you're waiting for! They're absolutely wonderful in every way. There are so many flavor options, there's got to be a flavor for every taste.
Ingredients: Cocoa & Shea Butters, Candelilla Wax, Natural and Essential Oils, Avocado Oil
What Orange Thyme flavors are your favorites? Which flavors are you still waiting to try?
I am absolutely in love with Orange Thyme's balms too! I did a count yesterday and have 30 of them! There are still a bunch more I am wanting to try too. The Blueberry Pomegranate has been on my wish list for quite some time! I am waiting to place another order though because my order from September 13th still hasn't shipped. :( It was only for one balm because I'm kind of on a budget right now but I am really bummed with how long shipping is taking.

I probably have that number or more haha! They're just SO addicting! I think you'll enjoy the Blueberry Pomegranate, it's not super sweet and fruity like her other ones so it's a nice change of pace. It really is a bummer your order still hasn't shipped =(. Have you tried e-mailing/convo-ing her again?

It seems as though her shop is down. I don't have her email address handy. But I still haven't heard from her and it hasn't shipped yet. :(

I saw that earlier, I wonder what's happening! I've never seen her shop down before. I hope it all gets resolved soon! I wish I had her e-mail address to give you =(.

I noticed too that I haven't seen her on Etsy in a couple of weeks now. And she hasn't posted to her Facebook page since 9/17 but her direct shop on The Big Cartel is open with on about 10 items total. Perhaps she can be contacted there. I hope everything is okay with her.
ReplyDeleteHere's her email from her Facebook etsyorangethyme@gmail.com I too hope everything is okay. I haven't seen her on Etsy in a couple of weeks now. It does appear that her direct shop on the Big Cartel is open but with only a handful of products.
