Review: Bag Lunch Lip Balms
What They Say: "All our lip balms contain only the finest ingredients to moisturize and protect your puckers:
Sweet Almond Oil is used to soften and soothe the lips. Beeswax is used as a natural waterproofing barrier between your lips and harsh elements. It also locks moisture in, keeping your lips soft and supple. Shea Butter is another natural moisturizer. It is derived from the vegetable fat of the karite tree. Vitamin E is a natural preservative. It is commonly used in lip balms to keep them their freshest. Flavors and colors are added to make our balms distinctively Bag Lunch. These butter, velvet-smooth balms go on clear. Pucker up..."
Melissa's DeLush Downlow: These are unique, fun and comforting balms with an awful lot of great flavors to choose from. I think they flavors are actually better described as SCENTS, because while each and every one smells sinfully good, they don't necessarily have strong TASTE. There is a hint of flavor, but for me the main sensation is in the (OH SO YUMMY) scent. But this is good, because it satisfies cravings without making me lick my lips into chapped misery! (Some of the choices include Strawberry Milkshake, Chilled Margarita, Pancakes and Syrup, French Vanilla Latte, Red Lollipop, and many more.) I do love these, for their ingeniously spot-on smells/flavors and their incredible long-lasting softness and comfort - they really do last among the longest of any balms I've tried. This is definitely a fun line of balms - try them out!
Another plus: They don't test on animals, and neither do any of their suppliers! Also, they support the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with their special "Angell" Food Cake lip balm.
Retail Price: $4.00 each (at baglunchco.com or go here to see retail locations)
