DressGreen

After so many recommendations to try DressGreen and so many months of placing balms into my cart and out of my cart, I finally did it! And I'm so glad I did! There's really no introduction necessary here, let's get to it.

Look at how cute this packaging is, I absolutely love the extra
care that was put into this package. I really love these little details.

Company: DressGreen


Flavors: Coconut Vanilla, Orange Blossom, and Peach Lime. I've never had a Coconut Vanilla balm before but I know I love both flavors separately, so I must like them together right? I don't know why, but I didn't really like the combination of the two. I have no idea why, maybe because it's been about 100 degrees out every day and these are two scents I connect with trying to warm up since they're both scents I'd put on the warmer side of things (if that makes sense?). You can sense both scents perfectly in this balm, it's a perfect combination but for me it just didn't work. I think it'd be perfect for winter, just not this crazy heat we've been experiencing. I didn't know what to expect of the Orange Blossom since it's supposed to be like an Orange Creamsicle but with Rosemary thrown in. I'm not a huge fan of Rosemary so I was a little scared, but I was recommended this balm and I love creamsicles so I took the plunge. Boy, was this a shock! I love this balm! The hint of rosemary is so refreshing and I don't know how she did it, but the orange and vanilla part is the absolute BEST creamsicle balm I've ever had. And last but certainly not least, the Peach Lime. I absolutely LOVE this balm! It's such an interesting combination of sweet peaches and tart lime. Something I've definitely never had, but it's great! If I inhale through my mouth it reminds me of peach iced tea, yum!


Wear: The smoothest, creamiest, the most melts-right-on-your-lips balms I've ever had. I almost push way too hard on these and they go all over my lips, you definitely do NOT need to apply pressure to get these balms to budge.  These go on SO beautifully. Definitely the smoothest balms I own. These balms also last two hours at least which is just icing on the cake.

Packaging: These balms come in clear tubes with colored labels that match the flavor of the balm. These labels are very simple, yet attractive, I just love them. These are so well done and just really put together well.


Price: $9 for 3, which is a fabulous price!! An individual tube is $3.50 which is definitely not bad for a natural balm.


Overall:
Pros: Flavor, Wear, Price, Packaging, uh...everything?
Cons: I wish there were even more flavors! I'd buy them all!

Rating: 5 out of 5 twists. There's absolutely nothing wrong with these balms, they are just FABULOUS. If you haven't tried these yet, don't be like me and wait forever to experience these balms. They are just awesome! You can't go wrong here.

Huge Haul of Balm!

Hi all!

I know today is not a day I usually post, but I really wanted to share pictures of my HUGE haul of lip balm this week! I usually don't go this crazy when ordering lip balm but for some reason, last week was the big week for me to order some new lip balms! I actually got a heck of a deal (to me at least, even though I still spent a lot), on my order from Drugstore.com I spent about $27 for 17 tubes of lip balm! Usually for $27 you can get about 9 tubes of balm or so, so I feel pretty happy I was able to almost double that for the same price. Here are some pictures of the boat load of balms I picked up this week (the reviews will be coming up the next couple of weeks so stay tuned!).

This is my huge haul from Drugstore.com, I was so excited when this arrived!

I also received my order from Whispering Willow.

Right now everything is 25% off in their shop!

My order from Candle Lynn.

I finally placed an order from Dress Green!

These next couple weeks will be filled with these new balms as well as some special reviews.

What new balms have you received this week?

Balms I've got my eye on 7.17.12

Here's what's tempting me this week:

 For Goodness Grape's Mango

(taken from here)

I've always wanted to try these balms but they're $4 a piece which is a little out of my price range, but they do have a TON of flavors. She has a sale going on right now, you can save 10-15% in her Etsy shop until the 22nd! There's no coupon needed!

Fable Naturals's Lemon Coconut

(taken from here)

I love lemon and coconut and would LOVE to try this balm but it's $6 a tube and $6 shipping since it's coming from Canada to the US. $12 for a tube of lip balm just won't cut it for me, unfortunately. I am really interested in these squeeze tubes!

Dress Green's New Flavor: Peach Lime

Yet another Dress Green balm that is tempting me, I'm thinking I really need to purchase from here soon!

Epically Epic Soap Co.'s Bullfrog Cherry-Peach

(taken from here)

I love Epically Epic balms and I love that she flavors her lip tints as well. This one just sounds so crazy delicious, I'm mad I haven't purchased it before!

Have you tried any of these balms before? Or companies? I'd love to know what you think about them!
