Welcome to
day 2 of the Green Mama Goodies giveaway event! In case you’re just now joining
us, all week long I am sharing reviews of awesome all-natural products geared
towards the ladies! Be sure to check back for new products every day. We are
wrapping up at the end of the week with a giveaway that will include many of
the items you’ll see in the reviews, so don’t miss out on that!
Today we’re
spotlighting Lips N Lotions, a lovely Etsy business that specializes in, you
guessed it, lip balms and lotions! She sells a variety of fun flavors and
scents, many of which you won’t find other places. Both her lotion bars and lip
balms are handmade with natural ingredients, which include beeswax, shea
butter, coconut oil, and more. Lips N Lotions was kind enough to let me try out
one of each. With all of the unique flavors and scents to choose from, it
wasn’t easy to pick just one!
Lotion Bar
I had only
heard of lotion bars once before coming across them on Lips N Lotions. I had
been looking up natural homemade sunscreen recipes and came across one in bar
form and thought, “Huh. That’s an interesting idea, but how the heck is it
going to work?” So, when I saw that all of Lips N Lotions’ ones were bars, I
was intrigued.
According
to her directions, you are supposed to rub the lotion bar between your hands so
that the friction causes some to melt off. To be honest, I’ve only followed the
directions a few times when using it. When I did I just rubbed it into my hands
and it felt amazing! The rare times I do use lotion I usually wash my hands off
immediately because I hate having that greasy feeling like most lotions leave.
However, these lotion bars don’t do that! It left my hands feeling super soft
and smooth with no tackiness.
Near the end of July, I got just enough of
a sunburn to where it peeled some. However, the night we got home from going to
the beach, my shoulders were already itching like made! I’ve been making, er, I
mean asking my husband nicely to rub some of my lotion bar on my shoulders
almost every night since it started itching and it makes it feel so much
better! I can definitely attest to it working on dry skin.
I almost
forgot to mention what scent I went with! I’ll admit that I’m a bit of a prude
when it comes to Victoria’s Secret, but I absolutely LOVE their body spray
scents. Moral of the story: When I saw that Lips N Lotions had a bar that was
scented like Love Spell, I went a little nuts. It literally smells JUST LIKE
IT. It’s like heaven in lotion bar form. Lips N Lotions also has other great
scents such as lavender, eucalyptus, monkey farts, and bamboo sugar cane.
Lip Balm
While we’re
still talking about scents and flavors, I had a really hard time choosing which
lip balm I would like to try, as I mentioned. Lips N Lotions has so many unique
ones to choose from, including mojito, pizza, bacon, and even absinthe! If
you’re not feeling very adventurous, she has the good ole classics available
too, such as lavender vanilla, French vanilla, and blue raspberry. I ended up
going with a fun French toast flavor. (Who doesn’t like French toast, right?)
It took a few applications to really start getting the flavor, but most lip
balms seem to be that way.
Yummy!
For some
reason, this lip balm feels a little grainy when you’re putting it on, but is
nice and smooth on your lips. It seems to last quite awhile too. I’m guessing
that has a lot to do with the beeswax at work. ;) This lip balm leaves my lips
nice and soft as well.
