LUSH's Chocolate Whipstick

I think it's about time that I review one of my staples, my LUSH lip balm tin. I honestly take this tin with me everywhere I go, just in case my lips feel extremely dry and need the extra moisture. I had always been curious about LUSH's lip balms, but have always been turned off by the price. But one day I went into the shop with my sister and some ladies had us try their lip scrub and some lip balm and I was totally sold. I didn't purchase the lip scrub, but I knew I had to try at least one of their balms!

Company: LUSH

Flavor: Chocolate Whipstick. This balm is incredible. It is a rich chocolate scent with a hint of orange, seriously wonderful. It's decadent and refreshing and just perfect for any season. If you're a chocolate lover, you'll definitely want to check this balm out.

Wear: Because this balm comes in a tin you can put on basically as much as you want. However because I try to avoid sticking my fingers in pots, I kind of just dip my lips into the pot and glide the balm on that way. I probably look so strange doing it that way, but I like it better than sticking germy fingers into my lip balm! This balm makes my lips incredibly smooth and goes on so creamy. This balm is really moisturizing and lasts a minimum of 3 to 4 hours which is amazing!

Packaging: This lip balm comes in a silver metal tin with a brown label on the lid that says 'WHIPSTICK' on it as well as the company name. It's pretty simple and to the point.

Price: $7.25, I think I purchased this before for $6.95 but I think the price has increased. This is quite a lot to spend on one balm and I would usually never do it, but it is also twice the weight of one tube of lip balm so it is kind of understandable. After trying it, I knew I wanted to have at least one in my collection.

Overall
Pros: Flavor, WEAR, Packaging
Cons: Price, More variety in flavors

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 twists, I seriously love this balm so much. It's always in my purse or my pocket and it's just wonderful. I love that it lasts for so long too, so I know my lips are super protected!

Ingredients: Oat Milk, Almond Oil, Beeswax, Dark Chocolate, Glycerine, Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Shea BUtter, Honey, Cold Processed organic Wheatgerm Oil, Carnauba Wax, Flavour, Sodium Borate, Tangerine Oil, Sweet Orange Oil, Vanilla Absolute, Cocoa Absolute, Limonene, Linalool, Methylparaben

Have you tried any of LUSH's lip balm tins before? Which one is your favorite?

My Haul 10.17.12

Hey all!

Slowly these hauls will stop being an every week thing, I just happened to buy tons and tons of lip balms the last couple of weeks. But this week is not the week for that! Here's what arrived in my mailbox this week:

I cannot believe what Ashley over at Aqua Blossom sent me this week! I usually receive two balms as a sample for review, but she completely blew my mind! Not only did I receive FIVE balms, but it came in the most beautiful packaging. I was completely blown away! Also, each balm smells ABSOLUTELY delicious!


Every time For Goodness Grape has a coupon code, I have to restrain myself from buying out her shop and usually only end up with two balms...except this time... I went a little crazy and bought her "Spend Everyday of the Week with ForGoodnessGrape" bundle. Oops.


While doing a little birthday shopping last weekend, I picked up this beauty. I had wanted to try Lush lip balms for a while, but they're just a bit out of my price range and in a tin. Yeah...I got over that really quick after I tried the balm in store. Wonderful! I'm constantly looking for it so I can use it!

Long Winter Farm
I am a sucker for Long Winter Farm balms. They're just so creamy and delicious, I think Peppermint Hot Cocoa may be a new favorite for me, but Pistachio Chip and Chocolate Orange will forever be two of my top Long Winter Farm balms.

Also, my dad brought home some lip balms from China for me!

Mentholatum (The same company that makes Softlips)

I'm not sure what these flavors are exactly since I still haven't taken them out of their packagings. I really like they way they look in the package! And yes, even my dad knows how much I love lip balm and every time he goes overseas he tries to bring some back for me. (Love you, Dad!)

And I don't know which company makes this one:

But it is so adorable! 

What balms have you picked up this week? Anything completely blow your mind away?

Balms of the Week 9.16.12

This week has been crazy busy for me: I started nannying again, started tutoring, got crazy sick towards the end of the week, and had to fly back to San Francisco. Throughout it all, I still managed to keep these balms by my side:

Epically Epic Soap Co.'s Cardamom Vanilla

I was really shocked to realize that this was like my favorite of the balms I received from Epically Epic. I'm so glad Allison included it in my order, otherwise I probably would never have tried it and would have missed out on something great!

ForGoodnessGrape's Lemon Sorbet 
This is such a delicious lemon balm, just like candy!

Blue Q Lip Shit's Raspberry Lemongrass
I'm surprised I'm still using this, I don't really like lip balm that comes in tins but this one has me coming back for more!

What have you been using this week? Have you picked up anything new?
