Company: Epically Epic
Flavors: Blackberry Lemonade, Orange Mango, Strawberry Pineapple, Blueberry Peach, Yellow Cake, and Mint Chocolate Espresso. The Blackberry Lemonade has been somewhat my "dirty little secret", I turn to this balm a lot! It's ALWAYS on my nightstand and I use it at least a couple times a week, but I don't really talk about it that much and I don't know why. It's a really, really wonderful balm! I love lemonade balms and this one was definitely no exception! It smells of ripe blackberries and sweet yet sour lemonade. This balm just screams summer to me for some reason. Definitely one of my most favorite Epically Epic balms! The Orange Mango is definitely another one of my staple lip balms. I love this balm! It smells of ripe, tropical mango combined with sweet, orange citrus. It's another balm that's so perfect for summer. I had this with me everywhere we went when we went to Hawaii in April. The Strawberry Pineapple smells just like sweet strawberries and fresh, tangy pineapple. Really, any of these flavors would be great for summer! As you should know by now, the Blueberry Peach is probably my most favorite EE balm, ever. It's just so wonderful, a beautiful and unique combination of ripe blueberries and peaches. It's sweet and tangy and fresh, it's just lovely! The Yellow Cake is another favorite of mine (okay, anyone keeping track of how many EE balms I've said are my favorite? Oops =). They're all just so good!); even Rob likes the Yellow Cake balm (his favorite cake in the world is yellow cake with chocolate frosting). This balm is so light and wonderful, it smells of light citrus, a little bit of lemon and a whole lot of vanilla cake. It's really wonderful (I also highly recommend the solid lotion in Yellow Cake!). The Mint Chocolate Espresso isn't so much a summery balm, but it is definitely a balm you could use all year round! It smells of delicious milk chocolate and refreshing mint with just a hint of coffee. Seriously, I want to eat this!
Wear: These balms glide on so soft and creamy, and super smooth! There's honestly no fight at all in these balms, they're great to go right from the start. I only need one swipe on top and one on bottom to get amazing coverage, however I do tend to go a little overboard and go round and round my lips because they're just so smooth!
Packaging: These balms come in your average sized lip balm tubes with really, really cute labels! The labels are all colored differently and each one is slightly different from the others. The label is colored to match the flavor of the balm and some of them have different designs on them (like polka dots). The flavor of the balm is put right on front as well as the shop name.
Price: $3.75 per tube which is totally acceptable for one of these amazing balms!
Overall
Pros: Flavors, Wear, Packaging, Price

Rating: 5 out of 5 twists. Seriously you guys, if you're ever considering an EE balm, especially if it's a limited edition flavor, just get it! I've never, ever been disappointed with an Epically Epic balm!

Also, did you know this is my 10th Epically Epic review? Holy cow! That's a lot of balm! What are your favorite Epically Epic balms? Have you tried any of the ones in this review before?
I really like Mint Chocolate Espresso as well. I get a dark chocolate scent with mine, which is part of the reason why I love it so much (don't really love milk chocolate). Along with that one, my top favourite Epically Epic balms are: Yellow Cake, Pineapple Mango, Red Velvet Cake, Candy Cane and Shamrock Shake. Allison really captures mango and pineapple scents as well as those sweet cake scents. MMmmmm. And the smoothness of her balms is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your reviews, it's what got me to finally purchase from Epically Epic and I am so glad I did!
(P.S. Her solid lotions are fabulous, right?!? I have gotten three people hooked on her Yellow Cake lotion.)
