Crazy Rumors

No, not the illicit juicy sexy kind of crazy rumors.


The completely legal juicy sexy chapstick kind.

I know, I know, you may not think it's as titillating as the former, but I promise you, this is even better.

Yes, that's right. This is a PRODUCT REVIEW.

Gumball available in 3 Bubble Gum Inspired Flavors

I love them. I went on a spree a few months ago--1/2 off all flavors. They're usually pretty reasonably priced at $4 a pop, but when you throw 1/2 off into the deal, it's silly to stay away. They just added another line: fresh-squeezed. Um, yum?!
There's also a Hibiskiss; a softly-tinted lip balm that runs for $6 each.

Why I love them:
* They are an all-natural vegan company. No testing on animals here. Though this is cute: "Occasionally one of our cats will get hold of one and use it as a hockey puck :) besides that we absolutely do not test our products on any animals, just ourselves, friends, family."

* No extra waste here! They use only recycled boxes and packing peanuts for their shipping orders.

* All their ingredients are pronounceable. Thank goodness. Ingredients: Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Organic Shea Butter, Candelilla Wax, Soy Wax, Natural & Organic Flavors, Vitamin E, Organic Carnauba Wax & Natural Stevia

* The flavors are AMAZING. My all-time favorite is peppermint lemongrass from the Brew line. With a sweet yet tart flavor, I find it hard not to eat the whole stick in one go.

Others that I've tried so far:

Orange Bergamot (Brew)
One of my faves. This one was definitely an acquired taste though. So strong and tea-like, at first, it was almost too powerful. I soldiered on though, and now have to struggle not to lick it off as soon as I apply.

Ginger Peach (Brew)
Good. The ginger flavor comes out a little stronger than the peach. This one is like a nice herbal tea that's been steeping awhile.

Amaretto (Perk)
Sweet and almond-y. Yum.

HibisKiss Pearl ~ HibisKiss Coral


Both these are slightly floral tasting and super enjoyable. The Pearl is a lighter color, and probably my personal favorite. The coral tint shows up a little darker.
