Shimmy Shimmer Shake

You guys know I carry a bunch of lip stuff in my purse. Well, that's because I hate! dry, cracked lips. But, it has to taste good, or I won't use it. Well, Chapstick understands that and is making sure I have a variety to choose from now.They have added 4 new flavors of lip balm with new flavors and a hint of shimmer, to boot. Two of the flavors are available now: "Botanical Berry" and "Tropical", with "Peppermint Rush" and "Blended Fruit Sherbet" available in August.

As for the flavors, here is my breakdown:
"Botanical Berry" - very fruity, not overly of one fruit, like strawberry or anything, so that's good, but I am not too much of a berry girl.
"Blended Fruit Sherbet" - reminded me of fruit punch, like at church socials or birthday party's. Not too bad or overwhelming.
"Peppermint Rush" - tasted like a peppermint stick, but not tingly, like heavy in peppermint oil.
"Tropical" - this was my favorite. It smelled more coconutty than it tasted, but there was enough of a hint that I could feel like I was sipping a pina colada. :)

Now, the main downside of this is that there isn't any SPF in it. So, I would rec using this when you go out in the evenings, as it gives a nice shimmer in the light, so you don't have to worry about the suns rays, or use it before you go to bed as a taste treat so you don't go get the dish of ice cream you know you are craving.

These retail for $2.79 at all your local stores and drugstores, so keep an eye out for them.

Okay, really, when did I become the girl with 10 lipglosses/lip balms/lipsticks in her purse? Seriously, this is what I have in my purse RIGHT NOW:

C.O. Bigelow Cinnamint Mentha Lip Shine (Remind me to tell you about going to the original apothecary)
SoftLips Cherry Lip Protectant (mmm...cherry)
Philosophy Green Apple Flavored Lip Shine (OMG, seriously, I eat this stuff off my lips)
Hershey's Almond Lip Balm (I have *such* a soft spot for Almond flavor/scent)
Blistex Lip Infusion Soothing Splash (this is like putting water on your lips)
Clinique Black Honey Almost Lipstick (my first "fancy" (upscale) lipstick)
MAC Petting Pink Tinted Lip Conditioner (my current fave!)
CoverGirl Mauve Shine 490 TruShine LipColor (pretty color - mauve looks good on me)
CoverGirl Petal Shine 425 TruShine LipColor (so light, but goes well over others)
Avon Sparkling Mauve Ultra Color Rich Lipstick (got this after I wanted to try it on - mauve - again)
bareMinerals Brillance Lip Gloss (From the Champagne Diamond collection on QVC)(see?)

Okay, maybe I just don't want to take any of these out, because it seems like they are all mostly different, but still....wow.
