My Current Favorite Lip Balms

I am a chapstick/lip balm, lipstick, lipgloss whore. Seriously. I have tons and tons of the stuff. I blame cute packaging, yummy scents, and promises that the product never keeps for my accumulation. Haha. But lately I have been loving these Karma Creatives Lip Balms.

Yeah...I like them enough that I have 5 of them. =) Though I am kinda sad that the cute little Buddha man is not on the Grapefruit and Watermelon flavored ones!! But these little cute balms are all natural and contain no petroleum! From what I have read, petroleum really does nothing moisturizing to the lips, it's used in many lip moisturizers and chapsticks because it creates a protective barrier on the lips that disallows whatever moisture you have on your lips to escape. The barrier also does not allow the wind or cold dry them out.

These balms like I said don't contain petroleum, but beeswax and other natural ingredients. What I love also is that the ingredients also make a sunscreen as well, so you don't have to worry about your lips getting sun damage because there is sunscreen in them! The scents are nice too, though the Cherry Cola and Cream soda don't really smell like Cola or Soda. The taste is...really yummy. I have to refrain myself from licking my lips when I have this on because it tastes so good. I also like the fact that it's moisturizing for my lips and makes them really soft without making it feel like I have a goopy product on my lips. This means no flyaway hair on my lips when it's windy or smearing.

Now being that it's not goopy, with the product in the pot makes it hard to sometimes get the product on your (clean) finger. Sometimes it takes me a good minute to feel that I have put enough on my lips. I also love the tin, but it's not really sanitary at times especially when you don't have sanitizer or time to wash your hands. But I think this does come in stick form now, (without the cute Buddha man though =[ )

I bought the Cherry Cola, Cherry Vanilla, and Cream Soda tins from Beautychoice.com and the Watermelon and Grapefruit from Ricky's NYC. I would have to say that my favorite ones are the Cherry Vanilla and Watermelon. Well, those are the two I have been reaching for the most. I think these are the most fragrant out of the bunch too. Pricing is about 3.00 per, which isn't too bad considering it seems to last forever, I have been using it almost religiously and I have only made a small dent in my watermelon one. I think these will last me a while, so I really recommend these if you are looking for a natural but yummy lip balm.

Pros:
-Cute packaging
-Lots of product
-Not goopy
-Natural ingredients
-Natural sunscreen
-Tasty
-Not an overpowering smell

Cons:
-Can be unsanitary for those on the go
-Product can take time to build up
-Doesn't really smell like what it says it smells like (this is only for some)

And because I love Kai Lan! She's my mini me =)
