Candle Lynn

A few weeks back I wrote about how these balms smelled so fabulous and that there was a special on them, $5 for 3 balms, which definitely isn't too shabby for a natural balm. I had always looked over these balms because they were a bit more plain looking than other balms, so they always ended up on the back burner. Today is the day I finally write about these balms!

Look at how ADORABLE these balms were packaged! Each
pouch's color matched the flavor of the balm, you gotta love
that, right? 

Company: Candle Lynn


Flavors: Lemonade, Coconut, and Tango Mango. These flavors are pretty dead on and scrumptious! The lemonade isn't a crazy lemony scent and not as sweet as other lemonade balms, but is still quite pleasant. There's something in it though that reminds me a bit of a candle. The coconut is dead on coconut! It is SO fabulous. When I held it out for my boyfriend to smell he quickly said, "Now THAT is what coconut is supposed to smell like!" If you are a coconut lover, you will love this balm! It smells so wonderful. The tango mango is very interesting. It's the strongest scent out of the bunch and is a wonderful blend of mango and perhaps peaches? It smells divine.


Wear: These balms cover beautifully! One swipe on top and bottom and you're good to go! My lips feel instantly nourished. These balms last about 2 hours which is great.


Packaging: These balms come in your average sized lip balm tube and the labels have a gingham pattern to them with the company name in big letters followed by the flavor of the lip balm on it and "moisturizing" below it. The labels are pretty simple and to the point, very easy to identify which balm you're using.


Price: $2.49 a piece which is a heck of a deal! And right now you can get 3 balms for $5, score!


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


Rating: 3.5 out of 5 twists, there's something about these balms that don't make them my absolute favorite but these are pretty darn good balms! Especially for the price!

Ingredients: Coconut oil, Bees Wax, Organic Shea Butter, Organic Cocoa Butter, Vitamin E, Flavor oil

Green by Nature

One day while in a Target I happened to be doing my usual perusing the cold and flu isle for lip balm and stumbled upon this neat pack containing three lip balms that I had not owned yet. I saw that it was a natural and organic and contained a new flavor I hadn't owned yet, Banana! I had to give it a shot!

Company: green by nature

Flavors: Banana, Beeswax, and Coconut. The Banana is dead on! It's fragrant of sweet banana, it's quite pleasant. Coconut of course is also dead on, very wonderful. I've never been a fan of beeswax lip balms so I'm sure that one is good as well. They definitely know what they're doing in the flavor department. Banana is definitely a very unique flavor and you can't usually find it in stores.

Wear: It goes on SO smooth from the start! Its a little slick but not too terrible and you never have to fight with it. It covers great and a little goes a long way. It's great to find those balms that are organic and natural and go on so great. They also last a good amount of time but sometimes I find myself licking my lips which means I have to reapply but still, it's such a pleasant experience I don't mind doing so. My lips definitely feel moisturized after I put this on.

Packaging: It is a standard lip balm tube that is white with a picture of the fruit that the balm is flavored after and a small green banner with the company's name. It's a pretty simple enough tube and it's got its own edge to it since it uses a font that usually isn't found much on the labels of lip balms. Also the three pack came in a neat box that allowed me to view the three balms through it. Overall, great packaging.

Price: $9.99 from Target, this isn't so bad since you get three balms and they're natural and organic. They're just a little bit above my usual $3 average price but definitely worth it!

Overall:
Pros:Price, wear, flavors, packaging
Cons:Not enough flavors in store, usually out of stock online

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 twists, I really love this balm but I wish I could find more flavors in store and for some reason they don't really have a company website so the only place you can really buy them is from other stores online. I once saw a list of their flavors and they had a ton but now I can't find any of them.
