Since I've been crazy about peppermint and candy cane everything lately, I thought I'd do a collection of Crazy Rumors Peppermint/Candy Cane lip balms. I don't have any more full collections, just bits and pieces of certain collections so I'll have to figure out a way to group them! I love Crazy Rumors lip balms, there are so many interesting flavor combinations to choose from! (You can find my previous Crazy Rumors reviews here, here, and here.)
Company: Crazy Rumors
Flavors: Peppermint Lemongrass (Brew), Pineapple & Peppermint (Candy Cane), and Pear & Peppermint (Candy Cane). Okay, first of all...these balms rule. The Peppermint Lemongrass is a beautiful blend of peppermint and lemongrass. As you probably know by now, I love balms that have lemongrass in them. It always adds something a little more to a good balm. Both scents compliment each other in this balm, with neither of them being stronger than the other. You can literally smell both! I thought for sure the peppermint would be more powerful. The Pineapple & Peppermint is so interesting! It's sweet, fresh pineapple with just a hint of mint! It's not crazy strong in scent, but it is noticeable. It's wonderful. And like the Peppermint Lemongrass, neither scent overpowers the other which is amazing! You can smell both clearly, just wonderful! The Pear & Peppermint was definitely a combination I have never seen before, which is exactly why I had to try it. The pear scent in this balm is wonderful, it's not too strong which I love because I'm starting to not like pear balms because the pear is just so overwhelming most of the time. The mint isn't as strong in this one as the other two balms, but still a great balm!
Wear: These balms go on super smooth! In addition to being smooth, they go on with great coverage! One or two swipes and you're good to go! One application will last you about 2 hours, which is fabulous.
Packaging: These balms come in your average sized lip balm tube. They have labels that are designed to match the collection the balm belongs to, as well as matching all the other balms Crazy Rumors makes. The labels have a neutral tan background and have a colored stripe that contains the balms flavor as well as an image for which collection the balm belongs to. These balms are very distinct due to the Crazy Rumors logo and name on top of the flavor of the balm.
Price: $3.49 per tube, or $13.49 for one collection (4 tubes). Not a bad price for a natural balm!
Overall:
Pros: Flavor variety, wear, packaging, price
Cons:
Rating: 5 out of 5 twists, I really like these balms! I will forever be after every Crazy Rumors balm. I'm kinda mad at myself for not buying the whole Candy Cane collection. I don't know why I didn't, I love peppermint and candy canes!

I thought I was going to adore CR balms but I am finding them just ho-hum. I haven't smelled them all because they are individually sealed but I consider them a bit better than average. Maybe I am a balm snob? The gingerbread one smells nice though, not too strong which is good. ;)
ReplyDeleteI find that some of their balms are just OK while others are really amazing. Maybe you just have to find the right one =). Like their lemonade balm, probably one of my top 5 or 10 balms of all time.
