I found this site through Ebay. It was an organic lip sample and I was like, "OHHH skinny cute tube!" I was super pumped to get this balm along with another sample of lip balm and a sample of lotion bar.

I ordered Pink Cotton Candy. I'm a very big fan of sweet flavors. This cotton candy lip balm is very spledidn. It smells a little heavier than actually cotton candy, but it is scrumptious. The flavor however is not as delightful. It is not terribly but it tastes chalky for cotton candy.

The sleek and adorable packaging on this balm is wonderful. The clear label allows you see the naturally colors balm. This is a light pink, it is sheer when you put it on.

It glides right on and absorbs at a moderate pass. Yet it does not feel slick, greasy, or waxy. This balm has the perfect blend and proportions of oil, wax, and butters. It is one of the best made balms, in regards to texture and consistency, that I have come across.

The other sample flavor I received was Pina Colada. I'm not a big fan of the flavor, but it smelled just like one. I was going to give it to Jb to review but it has gone MIA....but when it surfaces, I will surely post her thoughts on it posted.

The lotion bar was also an awesome balm. It was the scent of vanilla, and the idea of a lotion bar excites me! I've been using this balm (in an oval lip balm tube) on my elbows and dry patches of skin. I keep it in my put and application is so easy and wonderful. You don't have to worry about your hands being slippery after applying this or being smelly. Putting the lotion, in a bar form, which I think helps seal in moisture and increase it's effectiveness, is a genius idea!! I plan on getting one of these in the big size because this is a must-have in the purse. I would even recommend this on your hairline. With the changing weather, your scalp often dries out and it can be extremely noticeable around your forehead/hairline. This stuff is a great way to help moisturize that because in the tube you have accuracy and it is not as greasy as a fluid lotion.

Overall, the lip balm is a good product, especially for it's price. However, the star of this review is most certainly the lotion bar...bar none. (Pun-alicious)

Rating of balm: 4 outta 5
Rating of lotion bar: 5 outta 5
