I've been trying really, really hard to slow down on the lip balm, but whenever there's a new sale or coupon code, it's so hard for me to resist! It's especially difficult because usually when I'm contemplating making a purchase or not, I tell my boyfriend I'm feeling guilty about buying more lip balm and then he just ends up pushing the "proceed to check out" and "submit" buttons before I have a chance to react. Oy! I can't really complain too much though, through his method I've ended up with some pretty awesome balms that I probably would have passed up otherwise. This week's haul includes:
I'm seriously head over heels for these little guys! I keep calling them my bullet balms because to me they resemble bullets.
Couldn't stay away from Ripe Shop any longer! Make sure to sign up for Adriana's newsletter, there's a coupon code inside!
Christine opened a new direct shop, you can use code: OPEN2013 to save 15% off your order!
Did you receive any wonderful balms this week? Or any for Valentine's Day?
Happy Wednesday!

Isn't that Indian Mango fabulous?! I'm eyeing the Red Velvet and Watermelon too, so let me know what you think of them when you have a chance!
ReplyDeleteI loveee the Indian Mango. Both the Red Velvet and Watermelon are wonderful! I don't usually like Watermelon balms (for what reason, I don't know) but this one is really good! I think you'd like both of them!

I also recommend the Vanilla and Cucumber Melon (made wtih watermelon rather than the traditional Honeydew) from Canfield Crafts!
ReplyDeleteOh, and this week I received Vanilla Mint, White Chocolate and Orange Cream Soda from Little Batch. And purchased the new Chocolate Bunny and Jellybean limited edition balms from Softlips! And I am waiting for balms from EE (custom), FGG, Gingermade Soaps, and Puur Body!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that they used watermelon instead of honeydew, awesome! I'll have to check that out!
DeleteHow are the Softlips balms? I haven't yet gone to search for them.
I just ordered some of the limited editions Allison had in her shop, which I'm assuming were your custom balms =). Can't wait to try them!

Both Softtips are wonderful and I love the adorable egg shaped packages! And yes, most of those limited editions were balms that she made for me!
DeleteI discovered your blog after going on a lip balm buying spree on etsy... and of course my spree has continued after reading your reviews! Today I had to try the valentine's flavors from aqua blossom (even though it's a little late lol)
ReplyDeleteHaha, well I'm glad my reviews could help keep your spree going!
DeleteDon't worry, the Valentine's flavors from Aqua Blossom would be great year round! They're really good!

I want to make an EE purchase so bad! It's been a while since I've purchased from there, let alone any new lip balms. I've put myself on a lip balm no buy and resisting has been tough lately!
ReplyDeleteOh! And I hope she brings back cherry coke! Bummed that I missed out on that one. Should've purchased it when I could have!
DeleteThe Cherry Coke is wonderful! And trust me, I know how hard it is to hold off from buying balm. I've been trying to be on a lip balm buying ban, but Allison keeps listing limited edition flavors and I just can't resist!

It's definitely tough to not purchase but I always remind myself that there will always be new flavors coming out, which usually works. Usually lol! Not always since I totally placed an order last night :) It's been too long anyways!
DeleteMy family read this and one of them said "Well, it's official, they're Bullet Balms!" :-) We're all so glad you like them!
ReplyDeleteHaha that's awesome! I really can't get enough of these little guys, they're so wonderful!
