Hawaiian Bath & Body

I have for you another batch of balms I picked up while I was in Hawaii in April. I actually had a balm from this company from my best friend's trip to Hawaii a year or so ago, but can't seem to find it at the moment. It was the Sugar Cane flavor and probably one of my most favorite balms ever. It was sweet without being too sweet and had a little bit of a burnt scent to it too. It was wonderful! Anyway, I managed to find two other balms from this company while on my trip. Enjoy!


Company: Hawaiian Bath & Body

Flavors: Coconut Cream and Pineapple. The Coconut is warm and tropical, but different from my other coconut balms. It has a much richer scent and kind of reminds me of chocolate. The Pineapple isn't as tangy or fruity as my usual pineapple balms, but it's wonderful in it's own way. It's a more mellow pineapple scent and also has a richer scent to it.

Wear: These balms go on very smooth! They almost melt into your lips right on contact. These balms really sink into your lips and start to work their magic! One swipe on top and one swipe on bottom is more than enough coverage and balm. The consistency is just wonderful!

Packaging: These balms come in your average sized lip balm tubes. The tubes are white with white labels which have green leaves on them that give it a tropical feel. These balms have a very sophisticated and clean look to them.

Price: $3.25 per tube which is totally worth it for one of these balms!

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

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 twists. These balms are phenomenal! I really, really love the consistency of these balms. The scents are also really rich and wonderful!

Ingredients: Cocoa butter, coconut oil, sweet almond oil, beeswax, Hawaiian macadamia and kukui nut oils, vitamin E, rosemary oleoresin extract; Hawaiian Bath & Body coconut scent and flavor blend

Forever Florals

I know a few of you were asking me to review my new Forever Florals balms I picked up while I was in Hawaii, so I thought I'd bump it up a few reviews and do it today! I hope you enjoy!

Company: Forever Florals

Flavors: Coco Papaya, Passion Plumeria, Mangolicious, and Ginger Guava. The Coco Papaya smells wonderfully tropical! It's a wonderful scent of warm coconut and tropical papaya, really lovely! The Passion Plumeria has a lighter scent to it, but oh wow is it wonderful. It's more fruity than floral, it's just such a lovely combination of scents. It's hard to describe it, but it's fruity and floral and tropical and just really great. The Mangolicious is probably my favorite (of course, because I'm a sucker for anything--and I mean ANYTHING--mango). It smells fruity, but not too strong and not too sweet, it's probably the closest to real mango I've ever found. But still not exactly 100% real mango. The Ginger Guava is one of the most unique scents I've ever come across. It smells pretty delicious, bright and tropical guava with a little bit of a warm and spicy scent because of the ginger.

Wear: These balms feel like they should be really firm, which is really misleading and causes me to push a lot harder than necessary. These balms also seem like they go on a little thinner, but they're super creamy and actually feel a little thicker. It's so weird! Also when you first get the balm going, a lot of chunks come off until you get it really flat. Anyway, these balms and creamy and soft and glide on with ease. They also feel a little thicker than my usual balms.

Packaging: These balms come in your average sized lip balm tubes with caps colored to match the flavor of the balm. The labels are white with pictures of the fruits/flowers that make up the scent of the balm, pretty simple and easy to identify which balm you're reaching for.

Price: I think these four cost me about $12 so $3 per tube which is not bad. On their website you can get all 4 balms for $14 or each balm for $4 a tube which isn't too bad.

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

Rating: 4 out of 5 twists. These balms were pretty great and super tropical! Definitely a great reminder of my trip to Hawaii.

Ingredients: Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Lauryl Laurate, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Beeswax, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Hawaiian Flavors

Balms I've Got My Eye On 6.1.13

Happy June, everyone! I know that this is a little off since these posts are usually reserved for Friday's, but since I posted my monthly wrap up yesterday, I bumped this one to today! I hope you don't mind =). I also hope that you're having a wonderful Saturday so far. Today, Rob and I are super busy, we're trying out a new gym and a CrossFit class so we're super excited and a little scared. I've never done CrossFit before, have any of you? Anyway, while I'm bustin' my butt and dying just a little bit, I hope you enjoy checking out the balms I'm wishing were in my possession right now:

Long Winter Farm's White Almond

I've been falling back in love with almonds lately and since white chocolate is definitely one of my weaknesses, this balm sounds divine!

Live Beautifully's Blackberry Jam

This just sounds like all kinds of deliciousness!

Ripe Shop's Chai Cocoa

I can't resist a Ripe Shop balm and this is one I have yet to add to my collection!

There you have it!

Happy Saturday!
