Whispering Willow

In July I did a ton of lip balm buying and came home with a bunch of huge hauls. From my first huge haul (found here) I received these lip balms. Whispering Willow had been one of the first lip balm shops I had ever looked at when I first started using Etsy, but never purchased from them. It might have been because most of their flavors are very basic and simple, but when they had a sale on their products in July, I figured it was just about time that I give them a try!

Company: Whispering Willow

Flavors: Lemon and Mint. These flavors are so wonderful! You'd think that they'd be your plain lip balms but both are pretty great! The Lemon is a great sweet lemony balm, so if you're like me and LOVE lemon anything, this will be one you want to try. The Mint balm is also a great example of what a mint balm should be. It's cool and crisp and just wonderful. It reminds me of double mint gum, which is totally yum!

Wear: These go on very smooth! And they go on so well! They go on a bit thicker than some of my other balms and it is just fabulous. It really feels like my lips are being nourished. The balms are very creamy and it really is just lovely!

Packaging: These balms come in your average sized lip balm tubes that have white labels. The white labels have a tree depicted on them and two color bands, one on the top and one on the top, that match the flavor of the balm inside the tube. It's strange, but awesome, the way these labels feel. They're matte and not waxy at all which makes them super smooth in my hand. I don't know if that's really weird or not, but these balms have the best labels I've ever felt!

Price: $6 for 2 or $10 for 4, both are great prices for a handmade, natural lip balm!

Overall:
Pros: Flavors, Wear, Packaging, Price, Labels!
Cons: More Flavors!

Rating: 3 out of 5 twists. These balms are pretty great. Definitely worth trying especially if you're looking for a new staple balm to throw into your make-up bag or desk drawer.

Ingredients:
Lemon Lip Balm: organic beeswax, organic coconut oil, organic honey, organic lemon flavoring.
Mint Lip Balm: organic beeswax, organic coconut oil, organic honey, organic mint flavoring.

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?

Whispering Willow is Having a Sale!

It seems like everyone is having a sale in July, perhaps everyone got the same idea to do a Christmas in July kind of sale? I found another company who has a sale going on today: Whispering Willow.

All of Whispering Willow's products are 25% off right now, no code necessary, everything has just been reduced. I've been dying to try their balms and this may very well be the opportunity I was waiting for to try them out. Their Etsy page can be found here. I'm not sure when the sale ends so if you're planning to buy you should do so quickly! To stay up to date with everything going on with Whispering Willow, you should follow them on Facebook here.

I'm thinking about purchasing the 4 pack and get the Lemon, Mint, Vanilla, and Orange. It's usually $10 for the 4, but with the sale its $7.50.

Will you be taking advantage of this sale? What are some of your favorite products from Whispering Willow if you've tried them before? I'd love any advice or recommendations on this company!
