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

(review)

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?

Balms of the Week 9.9.12

I've been using SO many different balms this week since I've had so many random orders coming in the mail I've been trying to use each one and try them out. Because of this I haven't really had too many that I've been turning to consistently all week. A few that have been making a couple of appearances this week are:

ForGoodnessGrape's Coconut Lemongrass

(review can be found here)

Long Winter Farm's Chocolate Orange

(review can be found here)

Blue Q Lip Shit's Raspberry Lemongrass

(review can be found here)

Along with these balms I've been randomly using balms from Sakura Bath & Body and Coquette Bath.

What have you been using this week? Did you take advantage of any of the Labor Day Sales last week?

Haul from Canada & Maine

Hi all!

As most of you know by now, my friend Laura (who wrote a guest review for me here) loves to find new lip balms for me to try when she goes on vacation. I can always expect at least five tubes of lip balm from her whenever she comes back from somewhere (during Christmas when she went to Hawaii she brought back maybe 13 or more tubes for me!). She's fabulous and I don't know how she does it! I thought I'd share with you what she brought home for me this time from Maine and Canada.

Have you tried any of these balms before? They're all completely new to me so I'm really excited to be able to try them all. I'll be sure to write a review as soon as possible!
