Pangea Organics HandSoap & LipBalm ~ #Review

Another person found out that I have a lip balm addiction.  We all know I can't live without them.  I have withdrawal symptoms if I don't have one near me.  Pangea Organics sent me a sample of their lip balm as well as their hand soap for me and my girls to try.

Live Clean (Lovely Lips) Balm ~ #Review & #Giveaway

"Hello, my name is Cecilia and I have an addiction to lip balms".  There, I said it and I bet I am not the only one.  Every time I see one I have not tried or ones I do like, I am always purchasing one because of my addiction.  I am never without a lip balm within sight - all around the house, my bag, desk, and purse.  I have a huge collection because they are my obsession.  This time I am head over heals for the Live Clean (lovely lips) balm.

X3: Beehive Burst Lip Balm ~ #Review

In my previous post I mentioned X3's line of hand sanitizer and on-the-go first aid spray.
Now I would like to mention their Beehive Burst's lip balm line in two scented flavours: Cherry and Vanilla.

Their natural beeswax lip balm contains the following ingredients: Soybeen Oil, Sunflower Oil, Beeswax, Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Vitamin E, Aloe Vera, Flavour.

• 100% Natural Beeswax formula
• Not tested on animals
• Nourished with Vitamin E, Aloe, Shea and Coco butter to soften conditions and protect even the driest lips
• Two flavours: wild cherry or creamy vanilla favour

You know how much I love lip balms, I am almost sure you can call me an addict.  I had the opportunity to try X3's Beehive Burst lip balms.  These lip balms are so smooth and buttery and not hard as a rock that you can't hardly apply any on your lips.  I love the cherry flavoured lip balm - I could really smell the cherries.  There is only a very light scent with the vanilla, which is almost unnoticeable.  It immediately hydrates my lips once I put it on.  This is a great natural lip balm for a great price.  One of these will go into my coat  pocket when I will need it the most when I am out bearing the cold harsh Canadian winter.

Available at The Bargain Shop, Amazon.ca, Drugstore.com and Walgreens.com.

Blistex: Revive & Restore Lip Balm ~ Review

Here is my latest lip balm purchase to feed my other addiction.
I picked this up at Rexall (Pharma Plus) but I have also seen this at Walmart and Shoppers Drug Mart.
Regular price is approx $4+ but I saw this on sale for $2.79.
I didnt just bought one, I bought two!
The Revive is has a hint of mint and the Restore is alot smoother and creamer of the two.
I love this new lip balm.
It contains shea butter and SPF 15.
The jars also clicks together so they wont stray apart from each other.
I cant wait for it to go on sale again so I could stock up.

Coola: Lip Balm SPF 30

I was at my local Chapters Indigo store and they were having their summer clearance sale.
They were selling the Coola Sunscreen for $15 (50% off).  I doubt they have any left now.
Then I saw the lip balm for $6 (Reg $12).
We need to wear some protection for my lips.
It goes on very smooth and it hydrates and moisten my lips.
It feels like I put on Vaseline or lip butter not like EOS or L'Occitane lip balm.
I purchased the unscented one but they also had the scented of peppermint & vanilla with SPF 15
Would I purchase this again?  Yes, if I see it on sale again.

Diane Lai: Moist Lip Balm

If you have highly sensitive skin and/or with eczema inflicted skin, look no further because  Diane Lai for soft skin is an ideal product for you.

Diane Lai was kind to send me her new released Moist Lip Balm for me to try.
This is alot better than her previous one.
Her products contain no parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde, artificial fragrance, artificial colourants, retinols, sulfates, petro chemicals, lanolin, oxybenzone (aka no harsh chemicals)

I was amazed I could understand the ingredients listed on the lip balm.
Ingredients: Shea Butter, Beeswax, Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Palm Butter, Honey, and sweet orange Oil
Yup, that is it.
All natural and organic ingredients, what more you could ask?

I also believe this product is better than EOS lip balm - I'm not kidding.
Best of all it is made in Canada

P.S. dont forget to enter into my giveaway!  Few more days left before I pick a winner.

Body Shop - Shea Lip Butter

I picked up The Body Shop's Shea Lip Butter for $3 (Reg $6) a few months back.
It is almost like Korres' Lip Butter without the huge price tag.
It smells great, goes on smoothly, and it helps hydrates my lips.
When I compare the two, The Body Shop is a bit thicker than the Korres' but I don't mind.
Just be careful when applying it on your lips.
If you put too much, it looks weird by turning your lips a bit pale.
Remember this is not tinted.
I am hoping to finish this soon so I could try the other flavours.

Vasanti Cosmetic: Bahamas

This tinted lip balm was included in my ebeauty Birthday bag earlier this year.
I thought it will be like Burt's Bee tinted lip balm but this is 10X more better.
Smooth as butter and it has this wonderful berries smell I could sniff all day.
There are six different shades you can choose from but their Bahamas is their top seller.
It hydrates my lips and I have been using it almost every day.
Lucky me - I have a spare so I dont have to worry when I finish this one.

L'Oreal Paris - Colour Riche Balm

It was on sale at Shoppers Drug Mart for $6.99
Picked up the Caramel Comfort #819
It is so creamy.
I like it has SPF even if it is only SPF 15.
It is better than nothing.
It has a smell of coco butter meets lip stick smell.

Lip Balm, LipBalm, and more Lip Balm

I am crazy about lip balms.
I have so many of them they are everywhere in my house.
Over the past two years I have been using my favourite Carmex Lip Balm.
It is cheap $2+ and does the job.  I can put this before I go to bed and it will last through out the night.

The next best one will be the Aveeno's Lip Balm.
It really moisture my lip but at a cost!!  About $6.  I will only purchase this if it is on sale.

My other favourite is from Bath and Body Works - CO Bigelow's Shea Lip Butter
It has no smell and it is not sticky like their other Lip Gloss.
I have only purchased this once because it is $5 each.

The other expensive lip balm I also enjoy trying is Korres' Guava Lip Butter.
The only reason why I bought this was that it was on sale - about $5 where usually it cost $14+ at Sephora.
It smells great and really moisturize my lips.
It is like I am putting yummy butter on my lips.

Last but not least Principessa lip balm, "bacio me".
As I mentioned in my previous post it is very similar to CO Bigelow's Shea Lip Butter.
This is a nice to have because it cost $11 each.  I will only purchase if it's on sale.

I am trying to finish my current lip balms before I purchase any more.
If you have any lip balm suggestions, please let know.
Cheers!
