Aubrey E. Apothecary Part IV

I know it's been a while since my last Aubrey E. Apothecary review and that I got these balms a few months ago, but at the time these flavors were new and I had to get my hands on them as quickly as possible!


Company: Aubrey E. Apothecary

Flavors: Pistachio Ice Cream, Peach Pomegranate, and Pear Green Tea. The Pistachio Ice Cream smells incredible! It has such a strong sweet and creamy pistachio scent, it makes my mouth water! It's probably one of the most amazing pistachio lip balms I own, if you love pistachio balms, this is one you definitely need in your collection! The Peach Pomegranate was a flavor I had never seen (at the time) and it had me very curious. This balm has a very fruity scent, I can't pick out the peach or pomegranate individually, but this balm does have a lovely fruity scent. The Pear Green Tea is probably one of the most unique lip balm flavors I own. This balm has a light green tea scent with the scent of ripe pears. It's a more mellow balm and it really is lovely!

Wear: These balms go on smooth and slick, but they're not too oily. They feel a little thinner than some of my other creamy balms, but that doesn't mean they don't cover just as well! These balms provide beautiful coverage, you only need one or two swipes on top and bottom and you're good to go!

Packaging: These balms come in lovely oval tubes which are clear. The labels on the balms also have clear labels. The flavors of the balm are positioned right on front and each balm has a different color combination to them that corresponds to the flavor of the balm.

Price: $3.75 which is right in the ballpark of what I'm willing to pay for a balm and it's definitely worth it for one of Aubrey E.'s balms!

Overall
Pros: Flavors, Wear, Packaging, Price
Cons:

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 twists. I really loved the flavors I picked this time and I just noticed that Aubrey E. has a few more flavors in her shop that I haven't tried yet, guess those will be on my wish list!

Ingredients: Beeswax, Sweet Almond Oil , Coconut Oil, Avocado Oil, Flavor oil, Color Free Product

Aubrey E. Apothecary Part III

I bought these balms shortly after I bought Aubrey's Winter Set, I couldn't help it! Whenever I see new flavors from one of my favorite shops, I have to have them. Yes, I know, I have a problem. And I promise, I'm trying to work on it...really, I am!

Company: Aubrey E. Apothecary

Flavors: Pineapple Pomegranate, Monkey Farts, and Bananas Foster. The Pineapple Pomegranate is a very unique and interesting flavor combination. It smells like sweet pineapple and a little bit of pomegranate, it's tart and sweet. The Monkey Farts is such a yummy, sweet, and fruity balm! It smells just like bananas mixed with other yummy tropical fruits and bubble gum. The Bananas Foster smells of banana and caramel, it's a very sweet and decadent balm.

Wear: These balms go on so smooth! They glide right across my lips, they go on a bit thinner than some of my other balms, but don't let that fool you! It's definitely more than enough to coat your lips in balm.

Packaging: These balms come in lovely oval tubes with clear labels. The labels are very simple with the shop name above the name of the balm which is colored to match the flavor of the balm. Each label has a different color combination which is really nice.

Price: $3.75 per tube which is in the right zone for a good balm.

Overall
Pros: Flavors, Wear, Packaging, Price
Cons:

Rating: 4 out of 5 twists. These balms are pretty great! I definitely like these fruity balms, they're wonderful!

Ingredients: Beeswax, Sweet Almond Oil, Coconut Oil, Avocado Oil, Flavor Oil

Aubrey E. Apothecary's Winter Set

I don't know if you've noticed or not, but I really love Limited Edition stuff. Especially in the form of a lip balm. So whenever I see limited edition balms, I know I have to have them. As soon as I had gotten my Aubrey E. Apothecary Fall Set, I already had my eyes on her Winter Set. I also saw that her Winter Set contained a White Chocolate Mint flavor and since most of you know by now, I'm absolutely obsessed with my Winter Frost balm from Little Batch (which is White Chocolate and Mint), I had to try it out to compare!

Company: Aubrey E. Apothecary

Flavors: Almond Biscotti, Cranberry Orange, Gingerbread Vanilla, Eggnog, and White Chocolate Mint. The Almond Biscotti has a very subtle almond scent which I love because almond scented products tend to be a little overbearing for me and makes my stomach turn a bit. The Cranberry Orange smells AMAZING. Very sweet and fruity and there is no guesswork to it, there's definitely cranberry and orange blended together to make one heck of a scent. The Gingerbread Vanilla smells lightly of gingerbread with just a hint of vanilla, it's perfect. The Eggnog balm smells incredible! It's spicy and creamy with just a little bit of sweetness, it's definitely on the stronger side of scents, but I love it! And last but not least, the White Chocolate Mint. This balm smells really good, it's definitely white chocolate mixed with peppermint, but I think my favorite is still Winter Frost from Little Batch, just by a little bit. If you like White chocolate or mint at all, this is definitely a balm for you to try!

Wear: These balms go on very smooth and creamy and are immediately soaked up by my lips. The White Chocolate Mint even makes my lips a little tingly which I love in a mint balm.

Packaging: The balms in this set come in oval lip balm tubes which are awesome because they really fit the contour of your lips. The labels have the shop name and lip balm flavor on the front. The lip balm flavors are printed in colored inks to match the flavor of the balm. These balms also come in a really cute box with a green ribbon as you can see in the picture above, it's really wonderful the care that went into packaging this set.

Price: This set is $17.75 which brings each individual balm to $3.55 a piece which really isn't too bad for a balm.

Overall
Pros: Flavors, Wear, Packaging, Price
Cons:

Rating: 4 out of 5 twists. The balms in this Winter set were really wonderful! There's a combination of balms with really subtle scents and balms with some pretty strong scents. I'd definitely recommend trying an Aubrey E. Apothecary balm!

Ingredients: Beeswax, Sweet Almond Oil , Coconut Oil, Avocado Oil, Flavor oil
