Symbolic Imports Part II

I've had these balms for a little while now, I meant to review them a few weeks ago, but so many things came up that I wasn't able to. I'm glad I finally get to share these lovely balms with you today! I also wanted to let you guys know that I think I'm going to change up the amount of reviews I post on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I think I'll post just one each day. I'm trying to figure out my new schedule (my workout, my Bikram class, and my MCAT studying [yeah, I'm studying for that again]), and I think that lessening my load on those two days will help me a ton. Anyway, onto the review!

Company: Symbolic Imports

Flavors: Pink Lemonade, Lemon Poundcake, and Salted Caramel. The Pink Lemonade smells of sweet strawberry and refreshing lemonade, a perfect treat for your lips this summer! The Lemon Poundcake smells just like a baked good with the scent of sweet lemons. It has a rich scent and smells absolutely delicious. The Salted Caramel has a super rich and decadent scent to it. It has a rich, warm caramel scent with just a little bit of saltiness. It's just wonderful!

Wear: These balms go on soooo smooth and creamy! They glide right on to your lips and melts right into them. My lips feel soft as soon as this balm goes on. There's really not too much else you could ask of these balms!

Packaging: These come in your average sized lip balm tubes with labels that have colors pertaining to the flavor of the balm. The flavor of the balm as well as the shop's name is presented nice and clear right on front.

Price: $4 per tube which is just about the most I'm willing to spend on a balm, but there's usually a Saturday Night Special or a sale going on that I can snag these for cheaper! These particular balms were buy two, get one free.

Overall
Pros: Flavors, Wear, Packaging, Price
Cons:

Rating: 4 out of 5 twists. These balms are pretty wonderful! Each balm I've tried from this shop has had a wonderful scent and a great consistency. I'd definitely recommend trying a few balms from this shop!

Ingredients: Coconut Oil, Beeswax, Sweet Almond Oil, Avocado Oil, Flavor Oil

Symbolic Imports

These are some more balms that I've had for a while, they were part of my huge lip balm buying spree that commenced on Black Friday and the weekend after. I'm always open to trying new shops, especially if they're having a sale! It's always nice when I get to try something new at a discount.

Company: Symbolic Imports

Flavors: Coconut and Chocolate Mint. The Coconut is a really wonderful warm coconut scent. It smells a little more like toasted coconut (similar to Orange Thyme's Toasted Coconut) to me, but either way it's lovely! If you're a fan of coconut, you'll probably like this balm! The Chocolate Mint also smells incredible! It's a perfect blend of rich chocolate and mint, it reminds me of those amazing Andes mints that I can never get enough of! I'm tempted to take a bite of this balm and see if it tastes as good as it smells! (Okay clearly I'm exaggerating, but you get the picture right?)

Wear: These balms both go on incredibly smooth and creamy. They feel so luscious on my lips! They go on just thick enough that it's not overbearing and they feel super moisturizing.

Packaging: These balms come in your average sized lip balm tubes with labels that are colored to match the flavor of the balm; a brown label for Coconut and a green label for Chocolate Mint. The labels are pretty simple and to the point with the shop name, flavor of the balm and ingredients printed on them. One qualm I have with the label on the coconut balm is that the label is dark brown and the font color is black, making it super, super hard to read unless I hold it close up. I think maybe white would have been a better font color as it would be a very good contrast to the dark brown.

Price: $4 per tube which isn't too outrageous for the quality of these balms. I think for Black Friday I was able to get both of these balms for $5.60! Score!

Overall
Pros: Flavors, Wear, Packaging, Price
Cons:

Rating: 4 out of 5 twists. These balms were pretty darn good. I wish they had a wider variety of flavors, I'd definitely be interested in trying some different ones.

Ingredients: Coconut Oil, Beeswax, Sweet Almond Oil, Avocado Oil, Flavor Oil
