I am about to be extremely angry. I have written this review THREE times to post only for my computer to shut down once and my draft get saved TWICE and then erased for no reason TWICE! Someone really does NOT want me to post this review! Ugh! After such a LONG delay, here it is!
 |
The newer labels are the ones that are more
vibrant (orange and green, Papaya and
Peppermint, respectively). I love those new labels! |
Company: Softlips
Flavors: Honeydew, Pomegranate, Acai Berry, Papaya, and Peppermint. The Honeydew is not like honeydew at all, its one of my favorite fruits and I was really looking forward to this balm but I was highly disappointed. I can't even describe what it's like. It doesn't even seem like a fruit to me. The Pomegranate is a little more accurate, it's a tart scented balm but still no real hint of sweet or anything amazing. The Acai Berry is the best scented of these three, it's clearly an exotic berry of some sort but I have nothing really to compare it to since I've never eaten an Acai Berry and I don't have any other balms that are Acai flavored. The Papaya is AMAZING. Definitely one everyone should try. I do NOT like papaya the fruit (unless it is dried) but oddly enough I love this Papaya balm. It is sweet, fruity, and just all around amazing. The Peppermint is also just PHENOMENAL. It's very minty and cool and tingly to the lips. Love these two!
Wear: Very smooth, as is typical with Softlips balms. Since the tubes are smaller in diameter than your average tube of lip balm, a couple more applications are necessary but totally not a hassle to do so.
Packaging: Those cute, thing, white tubes that I love so much. I don't know what it is about them but I love these little guys.
Price: Around $3 which isn't bad for an all natural, organic balm. Some places have it a little closer to $4 or a little over, like Walgreens or CVS but those places usually have more expensive balms.
Overall:
Pros: Variety of flavors, price, packaging, wear
Cons: Some flavors are not very accurate/pleasant
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 twists for the entire collection. For Papaya and Peppermint alone, 5 out of 5 twists, must haves!
Have you ever tried these balms? What did you think of them?
