I placed this order a while ago and am so excited it came today! I hope you guys have tried Lush Lip Candy/Fresh and Natural Co already but if you haven't, get to it! I ordered a lip balm and lip scrub combo and since it was a buy one get one free deal, I received two lip balms and two lip scrubs..or I thought that's what I'd receive at least. The lip scrubs will be reviewed in the near future when I've got a real opportunity to use them. I've never used a lip scrub before so it'll be quite the adventure! Also, I apologize for the crazy amount of pictures, I was really obsessed with the packaging and taking pictures outdoors. Without further adieu....

Seriously, look at how cute the packaging is on these!
This is definitely different from before and I LOVE it! |
Company: Lush Lip Candy (now Fresh and Natural Co)
Flavors: Blueberry Lemonade, Acai Peach & Papaya, Glamour Girl, and Blushing Apricot. Glamour Girl and Blushing Apricot are lip tints that I received as freebies; I was very surprised when I opened the package and found four tubes instead of two. Although I'm not a huge lip tint fan (I prefer colorless, deliciously scented balms) I will write about what I think of them. The Blueberry Lemonade is a PERFECT blend of Blueberries and sweet, tangy lemonade. I say this one is up near my Lemon and Blueberry from C.O. Bigelow (reviewed
here) and the Blueberry Lemon from Orange Thyme (reviewed
here). I just love this combination of two of my favorite things! I had no idea what to expect from the Acai Peach & Papaya balm; it is such a crazy blend of different complementary flavors. It smells so sweet, like candy. I can't really describe what it's like but it is fruity and pleasant. I don't think I'm that big of an Acai berry fan but I didn't mind it in this balm. The Glamour Girl has no scent really, I thought it was a little minty at first but it's pretty unscented. Blushing Apricot was the same way.

Wear: True to the previous balms I've purchased, these balms go on SO smooth! There is no fight in these balms, they just melt on your lips and go on so easily. There's great coverage too! I love oval shaped tubes, I just feel that they contour to your lips better than circular tubes. Glamour girl is a light red color, it doesn't show up on my skin and doesn't show up really on my lips. The Blushing Apricot makes my lips look a little bronze and I think that's the color it was going for.
Packaging: Like I said, these balms are kept in oval tubes and have very cute labels! The labels match the flavor and there is a big section dedicated to the balms flavor. These balms are just adorable. Also, she changed the material the labels are made out of! They are no longer just paper, they are waxy which is great to prevent fading of the label over time. Yay!
Price: A lip balm and scrub set costs $6. I think that's quite a deal! A lip balm alone is $3.25 and a lip tint is $5.50. A scrub alone is $4. I always think these balms are worth it and the prices are always crazy reasonable.
Overall:
Pros: Flavors, packaging, price, wear, natural
Cons: Nothing
