What’s not to love. The brand. The flavours. The texture. The smell!
I was super excited to see these at the supermarket so popped them in the fortnightly shop. As soon as I got home, I ripped the packaging open and smelled. As I do with any product. Then I had to decide which one to apply first, as there are 2 sticks in every packet and each stick contains 2 flavours. It was a lovely experience when I did. And I actually can’t remember which flavour I tried first!
They have been a staple in my bedroom and handbag for a while now and I have just picked up another as a back up!
They are lovely on your lips. Smooth, lovely fragrance which isn’t overpowering. They have a bit more staying power than the regular Chapstick and also feel a bit ‘thicker’ than the regular Chapstick too.

Mmm... Berry goodness...

Lemony sorbet.. my fave!

These are the only flavours that have been released in Australia, I’d LOVE to try the Apple/Caramel one that they have in the US.

Do yourself a favour. Get these while you can.



Be kind.
