Peaches & apples

Alright, so I know I’ve been completely slacker and lazy on the updates lately, it’s only because I’ve just got 5 seasons of Criminal Minds! Yes, I’m officially a Criminal Minds addict! It used to be CSI, now it is Criminal Minds.
If you haven’t already watched the show, I suggest you do! It’s awesome!

Moving along, here I have 2 lipbalms which I actually opened ages ago and just have been putting off reviewing them. Personally, these 2 are definitely one of my favourites. :)

First up, Apple Smoothie.

Though the description of this balm doesn’t sound like much, but holding it in my hand, placing it against my nose and taking a quick whiff of this balm has made me wanna open it immediately! The scent is so deliciously sweet!

This balm has the perfect blend of juicy red apples, all cut up, juiced and blended with a thick, rich, creamy vanilla milk. The combination is effortless and oh-so-tasty. If you love apples and if you love smoothies, you’re sure to love this balm! In fact, I don’t know what it is about this balm but the mix of apples and vanilla milk is simply perfect together.

Just imagine a bowl full of delicious, juicy and crunchy red apples, cut up and blended with the richest and creamiest vanilla milk you can imagine. That is exactly what this balm is like, perfectly fruity and creamy! It’s so tasty it’s practically sinful!
A must have!

Next on the list, Peach Belini.

To be honest, peaches are not my favourite fruit. So when Cynthia recommended this I was a tad bit skeptical. After all, I’ve never heard of Peach Belinis and I don’t like peaches.
What exactly is a Peach Belini?
It is basically a long drink cocktail that originated from Venice. It is a mixture of sparkling wine and peach puree.
The description doesn’t sound like much, but I can assure you, this balm is tasty!

When I opened up this balm and took a quick whiff, it smells delicious! The scent and flavour of peaches aren’t too strong, which is something I am glad for! It has a slight hint of bubbly champagne and with the combination of peaches this balm has a sweet peachy scent and has a slight peachy champagne taste to it.

This balm is not creamy at all like Apple Smoothie, instead it’s got a very slight citrusy flavour to it and is all nice and bubbly! Though this balm has champagne in it, I won’t say it’s your typical booze balm as the booze note is quite mild.

I guess the closest description I can give to you on how this balm is like, is from the above picture! It pops! It’s sweet! And it’s bubbly! Added with a juicy sweet peach, this balm is another must have for your collection!

And that’s all for now! I know I should get around to writing more, but I’ll do it soon once I finish my Criminal Minds marathon! I’m almost done guys!

Till next time!

  1. Does the peach bellini have alchohol in it? :(

  2. Hey Daniaaa,
    I'm not too sure about that, but I think that it doesn't have alcohol in it, but is a flavouring instead.
    If you're still uncertain, you can always drop Cynthia an email (tanksfor5@gmail.com) and ask her about it. :)
