Hurraw! Balm
As you all probably know, I've been eyeing Hurraw! Balms for a while now and when they finally had a coupon code up a couple of weeks back, I definitely didn't hesitate to act on it! In fact, I'll admit, I was doing my usual morning routine of "checking the news", i.e. reading my Facebook newsfeed, and as soon as I saw the coupon code I whipped out my laptop and placed an order within minutes of seeing the coupon code. Yes, I am an addict and I know it. What was so fabulous about ordering was that it shipped not even a half hour after I ordered it and I received it SO quickly! Gotta love that!
Company: Hurraw! Balm
Flavors: Lemon, Green Tea, Moon, and Black Cherry Lip Tint. The Lemon balm is a true lemon scent, smells like a fresh cut lemon but not as sweet and no added sugar. I prefer my lemon balms to be super lemony and a little sweet. There's just something a little off about this one. The Green Tea is dead on green tea. If you're a green tea drinker, you'll definitely like this one. It also smells a little like baby powder to me? The Moon balm is a fantastic vanilla balm. It's exactly as expected. The Black Cherry smells absolutely delicious! It kind of reminds me of Lip Smacker's Dr. Pepper lip balm that I used as a kid, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Since it is a lip tint it goes on as a very faint red and actually isn't even noticeable on my lips at all, which is great for me since I'm usually not a big fan of lip tints.
Wear: They go on so very smooth and quite evenly. They cover great despite feeling a little thin. The Moon balm goes on a bit thicker to me which is great as I use it at night right before I go to sleep.
Packaging: Oval tubes with very sharp looking labels on them. The moon balm has a shiny and reflective label on it and makes it just look so modern? It's very cool! The labels are also very soft and smooth to the touch, I don't know what it is about them but they feel great in my hands. They aren't waxy feeling at all.
Price: $3.79 to $4.29, this is slightly out of my price range which is why I was SO excited there was a coupon code to get the balms at about $3 a piece
Overall:
Pros: Flavor, Wear, Packaging, Natural, Vegan, Raw, Fast Shipping
Cons: Price is slightly higher than I'd like to pay
Rating: 3.75 out of 5 twists, I had a lot of hype and hope for this balm but it didn't really live up to all of my expectations. I thought these were going to be the best balms ever, but I definitely have others in my collection that pass these balms up. Not saying these balms are bad or anything, they're definitely worth checking out, but they aren't the creme de la creme.
Ingredients:
Lemon Balm: Sweet almond oil, candelilla wax, coconut oil, jojoba oil, cocoa butter, castor oil, olive oil, lemon and lemongrass essential oils, vitamin E.
Green Tea: Green tea infused sweet almond oil, candelilla wax, hemp oil, coconut oil, jojoba oil, cocoa butter, castor oil, olive oils, organic flavors, vitamin E.
Moon Balm: Avocado and sweet almond oil, candelilla wax, cocoa butter, coconut oil, castor oil, argan oil, rosehip oil, meadow foam seed oil, vitamin E, vanilla bean, Peru balsam oil, blue chamomile flower extract.
Black Cherry Lip Tint: Alkanet infused sweet almond oil, candelilla wax, coconut oil, jojoba seed oil, cocoa seed butter, castor seed oil, olive fruit oil, organic flavors, vitamin E.

Huge Haul of Balm Take 2
Hey all!
I know last week I posted about the huge haul of balm I ended up with and somehow this week I ended up with the same kind of deal! July has definitely been a crazy ton of lip balm buying for me and I definitely need to reign in my lip balm buying in the next couple of months (unless there's a big sale, of course). I thought you guys would like to take a peek at what I came home with this week.
The boyfriend and I went up to Wisconsin this past weekend to attend the Bristol Renaissance Fair. Since we had never been there before I asked him if he thought I'd be able to find some new lip balms there (I am The Lip Balm Wrangler after all, I can find lip balm anywhere!). He told me he doubted it...we all know who was right in this scenario. I came home with three new ones from the Renaissance Fair and found one at Mars' Cheese Castle (I told you, anywhere. I'm also a huge cheese addict.) When we were driving from the Ren Fair to Mars' Cheese Castle I saw this grocery store I'd never seen before called Woodman's. I was intrigued because I LOVE going to grocery stores I haven't been to before in hopes that they carry lip balms I don't already have (are there still any I don't have, haha). That's how this big pile came about:
These three are from the Ren Fair:
Can you guess where I got this one from?:
I also received my order from Hurraw! Balm:
And my order from Orange Thyme:
And an order from For Goodness Grape:
There's a lot coming up these next couple of weeks so definitely stay tuned!
Have you received anything new lately? Or tried any of these brands above?

Balms I've got my eye on 7.10.12
Here are the balms that are tempting me this week:
(taken from here)
I have been eyeing this company for at least two months now. I want to buy almost every flavor!
(taken from here)
I've been recommended this company so many times, it's almost time to cave in!
(taken from here)
What weeks do I not crave a new Orange Thyme balm? Let's be honest here, haha.

I wanted to try these balms back in December but never did, maybe it's about time I do?
Have any of you tried these balms or companies before? If you have, please let me know what you thought about them!
