There is a special promotion running for the month of June. If you buy one LIP GLOSS you get one LIP BALM FREE!!!!

I'm a big fan of Kisse Girl. The sweet flavors and the positive message the company has to improve the concept of beauty for the younger generation of little girls become young ladies. I love the lip balm so I wanted to try other products.

The Lip Gloss is very nice. My flavor was Cotton Candy, and it does not disappoint. Just like the fluffy stuff at the fair, this is a not a super strong flavor, but just the right amount. It has a brush applicator, so you squeeze the tube and brush the gloss on. A little goes a long way and I learned that the first time I used it and had to share the remaining gloss with my mom because there was too much on the brush. My only complaint is that that sparkles in it are somewhat big. Being a big girl, I'm used to super small shimmery dust in my gloss, but this one is a bit chunky (think of Rimmel London's Vinyl Gloss) and you can feel the sparkles. It isn't super bothersome, but if you are a person who constantly is rubbing their lips together...it may be an issue.

Overall, especially with the June promo... I highly recommend this balm to a young lady or an adult. It doesn't melt and wont leak out into your bag like some other glosses (Thanks MAC!) .

The Lip Icing was something I was really looking forward to. I got the Tango Mango flavor and was ready to experience one of my favorite past times as a little girl... roll on lip gloss. Who doesn't love it? I loved it so much I once did a soft sculpture of Hard Candy's Lava Roll on Lip Gloss. I was very pleased with the consistency of this gloss as well as the high shine and the fact my lips did not feel greasy. I think that with roll on gloss and all the oils, sometimes it is over done and it's melting off your face in the warm weather. I wore this out today in some fairly warm weather and it didn't budge. The flavor is okay, I can honestly say I prefer it more as a balm, than this icing. One issue that I found was when I used it in the winter. For some reason the ball contraptions on these glosses works poorly in the winter time here. I'm sure it has to do with the lack of heat, but I had a hard time using it in the winter...but now, no problems.

Overall, I think this is another great product for little girls. I would not recommend the Tango Mango however... possibly the Sugar Rush because that is a flavor that should translate well into any lip product.

Kristen's Cosmetics Body Mousse

Kristen's Cosmetics
Body Mousse
in Lemon Icing

4 oz. for $6 (+ $3.50)

[Water, Isopropyl Myristate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth 20, Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Dimethicone, Stearyl Alcohol, Soybean Oil, Shea Butter, Sunflower Oil, Hydrolyzed Silk, Aloe Vera, Disodium EDTA, Diazolidinyl Urea, Benzophenone 4, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Fragrances, FDA Approved Colors]

This picture does no justice to how richly yellow this body mousse it. It is this gorgeous canary yellow.

This "mousse" is a whipped body lotion. This is a very thick lotion, almost a butter. I found that applying this after showering, when you skin in warmer, it absorbs better; at least it rubs in quicker. When my skin is dry and normal... (ex. it's 6:30 and I'm sitting here typing and feel like procrastinating so sure...blogging would be a great productive time killer!!!) it takes a bit more effort to rub in.

In the container it has this super sweet lemon scent. It is like lemon zest. When you put it on it is the exact amazing smell of those flower shaped lemon frosted cookies you buy in a red package. You know the ones. Yes...those exact ones! It is so delightful and delicious. Wow.... great scent.

When you put it on the lemon evenly disperses but that baked good scent comes out more. The cookie scent goes into a more mild cupcake scent, with a stronger undertone (maybe vanilla?) coming out. Still it is a fresh and quenching aroma I'm proud to wear!

Your skin does not feel greasy, however if you do not rub it in totally there is this awkward thick feeling. Once it is rubbed in, it absorbs like a few minutes and leaves your skin feeling very refreshed and smooth.

Overall, aside from the thickness that may bother some people, this is a great body mousse. It is a luxury bath item (available in other great smells as well!) My only concern is that you may want to eat or lick it. Hey... there is an idea... can this be made edible? I'd sign up for it.

Kisse Girl Rocking Bath Bombs

Kisse Girl
Rocking Bath Bombs
in Cupcake

2 for $3 (+ $.75 S&H)

[sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, witch hazel distillate, fragrance, color]


This is a Guest Review done by my good friend and Bath Aficionado, Di.

My original thought on the smell prior to use is curiosity. I was completely unable to label the sent. This is every thing that first went through my head. Quiet, subtle, clean, soapy, baby powder, chalk, coconut (?), vanilla (?). several people could not figure out the specific sent. Then after reading the label closing my eyes and thinking really hard then I could small cupcakes.

It was very easy to use, plop right in the tub and watch fizzle away. It dissolved very quickly in my opinion too quickly. It fizzle and foamed but was not as energetic as I hoped. Once it dissolved in the tub it was much harder to smell cup cakes, I mostly could smell chalk and soap. After my skin was not hugely soft but much softer than usual. My skin now smelled like I had baked a cake.

I was a very positive experience and did enhance my bath. It made the bathe unique and a little extra special. I am personally not a cup cake sent type person but I will more than likely enjoy another cupcake bath bomb bath.

Kisse Girl Lotion

Kisse Girl Lotion
1 oz. in Spoiled Rotten Scent
$1.75 (+ S&H) from site or Etsy

[Water,Isopropyl Myristate,Glyceryl Sterate,Cetearyl Alcolol,Steric Acid,Polysorbate-60,Stearyl Alcohol,Allantoin,Propylene Glycol Diazolidinyl Urea,Metholparaben,Propylpababen,Sunflower Oil,BHT Triethanolamine,Benzophenone-4,Fragarance]


I got this lotion with an order of lip balm. (To read my thoughts on that lip balm, click click.)

This lotion smells sweet and yummy. It is like a strawberry daiquiri with a hint of cupcake. When you put it on the scent fads to this nice and subtle sweet fruity scent. It is not super strong, so you would be able to wear perfume and not be afraid of scents mixing and becoming yucky.

There is a light sparkle in the lotion and it is nice and thick. It goes on smoothly and absorbs at an average to quick rate, depending on how thick you put it on. Some people do not like the thickness of some lotions, but I think that the feel of a lotion like this really covers better. It gives your skin a supple feeling and it really quenches dry patches. This lotion really gives your skin a luxurious and lush feeling. I love it! There is no feeling of greasiness, dryness, or a chalky after-feeling.

This moisturizing goodness lasts for a while. I would say that for several hours this great and soft feeling lasted. Even when I washed my hands, they still felt super smooth and great.

According the Kisse Girl's blog, this stuff is meant for girls 8 and up to realize their inner beauty and let it radiate out. It's wonderful! She also gives this blog a shout out, so thanks a lot! And keep on making awesome products!

Overall, this is a great value and it fits nicely in any small to large sized purse. (I can fit it into my Harajuku Lover's catwalk purse so you should be able to fit it in most anything!!!) It smells delightful and adds a nice sheen to your skin which makes it look healthy and fabulous!

The Plaid Mushroom Lip Balm

The Plaid Mushroom Lip Balm
Pink Frosting and Tingly lip balm

$3.00 (+ $2 S&H)

Pink Frosting: [Coconut oil, almond oil, candelilla wax, avocado oil, vitamin e, stevia, flavor oil]

Tingly: [Emu oil, beeswax, coconut oil, almond oil, vitamin e, peppermint essential oil, tea tree essential oil]

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PINK FROSTING IS VEGAN!!!!!! THE TINGLY IS NOT!

I've been looking at the Plaid Mushroom on Etsy for a bit. One, I love plaid. Who doesn't? Yet the mushroom... should I equate that with some trippy dippy hippie? I try not to be stereotypical and noticed the lack of patchouli and felt reassured.

I am so glad I did.

I ordered the Tingly lip balm and because of a promotion got the Pink Frosting. (The Pink Frosting was a gamble, it sounded different.)

The tingly balm has emu oil in it. I've been looking for a balm that uses emu oil because it has the most amazing moisturizing elements. It's amazing old women have realized this and aren't taking the emu to the level of extinction. NOT that I think or suggest you do that. Please don't. Emus are people too. Anyways.... this balm is pepperminty but not overly done. It is just the right scent and flavor and it makes your lips feel luscious with its tingle.

The Pink Frosting was the most pleasant surprise. It is like a vanilla cupcake with that pink frosting on top. It's not strawberry, it's not butter cream, but damn is it good. That is the exact smell and flavor of this lip balm. AND it is vegan. This must be heaven.

I have found that the tingly balm lasts longer than the pink frosting, and not just because of the lip licking difference. I did not find myself licking my lips at all with either balm. I think you grow out of that. The tingly just seemed to hold on better to the skin of my lips, but that could be the emu oil since it is know for its deep penetration. The pink frosting held strong for a good 2 hours. That is valiant showing for such an amazingly yummy vegan balm.

The glides are smooth and silky. Both are hard, but not waxy and not greasy. They apply easily and can tolerate this summer heat (B-lo @ 75... What?!)

Overall this lip balm rocks. It really does. I bet the other flavors are just as great. The sweetness is just right and they do wonders for your chapped lips...and if your lips aren't chapped...they make them soft anyways!!!

Pooka. Machine Pooka Gloss

Pooka. Machine
Pooka Gloss in High Gloss Vanilla & Sweet Orange
$1.50 (+ $2.00)

[Vanilla: candelilla wax, mango butter, avocado oil, vit. e, vanilla infused oil]

[Orange: Candelilla wax, sweet almond oil, shea butter, organic sweet orange oil & coloring]

Due to a bad cool down time with the vanilla, I've been putting this review off, and this it makes me really sad. The wonder woman behind Pooka. Machine is an artist and lip balm enthusiast. She recently obtained a full time job which means she currently is unable to make lip balm anymore (or until further notice). Before this review begins, and this spoiler is valid, go to her Etsy and buy whatever balm she has left. You will not be disappointed.

But on with this review....

First, please note, these are hot pink mini tubes. Small but powerful. I've found that these little containers fit anywhere!!! My super small Gucci purse, your super tight girly pants, and I would go as far as saying if you're at the Black Out Party in Downtown B-lo, these would stay nice and secure in your bra.

These little balms smell divine!!! The sweet orange smells like a great orange tea with sugar. The vanilla is also intoxicating. It almost smells like a vanilla cupcake. Super yummy!!! And the weird thing about these balms is that I didn't lick my lips at all. I mean, for the initial taste, yes they are wonderful, but this balm lasted forever. Much longer than I anticipated because I thought I'd be lip-licking and I wasn't. I'm not to sure why or how, but Pooka has this balm down to a science I think. It has almost every amazing aspect of a great balm you could imagine.

The only negative that I found was that the vanilla, if left in your pocket and while you are outside, gets kinda melty. Not soft, but super wet.

Please note the vanilla is also a high gloss. A very high gloss. I would compare it to the gloss extreme of M.A.C.'s lip glass, the clear one.

Overall, this balm is rocking! And you all need to go buy it while it is still available. Portable, cute, practical, and super yummy for your lips!

Did I mention.... THESE ARE VEGAN!!!?? Major kudos, because I have not found a great vegan balm as of late.

Embrace Bath & Body baked good lip glosses

Embrace Bath & Body
Brownie Batter Gloss ($3.50)

[Sweet Almond Oil, Beeswax, Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Lanolin,Pure Cocoa Powder, Mica, Flavor Oil, Tocopherol (vitamin E), Stevia]

and Cupcake Gloss ($3.25) (+ $1.25 S&H)

[Sweet Almond Oil, Beeswax, Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Lanolin, Flavor Oil, Tocopherol (vitamin E), Stevia]

These lip glosses are from a super cute, pro-cupcake Etsy store. I'm leery of baked good flavors, but these glosses have converted me to the dark side. Let's break these balms down individually.
The Brownie Batter Gloss
This is a tinted gloss. It is a very sheer tint but it does warm up your lip color. The downside to this is, due the fact this is in a tin, your finger manages to keep some of that tint so you cant wipe it on your skin or on your pants....unless you want those to be a light, warm brown.

This gloss smells amazing. It is EXACTLY like the brownie mix I remember making with my grandma, and tastes just like licking the spoon!!! And an extra and adorable touch, the cocoa in here leaves little bumps so it is like brownie batter! I love it.

There is lanolin in this gloss, and according to Embrace Bath & Body's Etsy, the lanolin makes the gloss stay on the lips longer. This is very lick-able, but even after licking, it's still there. It absorbs at a nice rate and does not feel waxy or greasy. It is a nice and luxurious texture on your lips.


The Cupcake Gloss
This is meant to be the flavor of a vanilla cupcake with butter cream frosting. It doesn't taste overpoweringly vanilla-ish, but it is a sweet treat for your lips! This gloss is much sweeter than the Brownie Batter, and it does not tint your lips.

It goes on and lasts the same as the Brownie, except you can wipe the excess that is on your finger on your skin or pants, not staining!


Overall, this lip gloss is stellar. The $3.50 price (for the Brownie, $3.25 for the Cupcake) is reasonable. The tin is super cute and the flavors are super chic.
