Crazy Rumors Lip Balm.

The Brew Collection.

This is one of the best lip balms I have ever used!

Here's why:

INGREDIENTS
Only the best all natural & vegan ingredients make their way in.
Certified Organic Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii) Pressed from the pit of the karite fruit grown on the shea tree, which is commonly found in Africa. These pits are collected, dried in the sun and then roasted. The result is a soft and creamy butter with amazing healing properties. Shea Butter contains nutrients such as vitamins A and E and is known to contain a natural UV protectant against the sun. Daily usage of Shea Butter limits the harmful effects of sun exposure while keeping skin soft and supple.
Certified Organic Jojoba Oil (Simmondsia Chinensis) Pressed from the seed of the jojoba shrub. Jojoba oil is very similar to the natural oil secreted by human skin, known as sebum. It is readily absorbed by all skin types and valued for its moisturizing, healing and protective properties.
Certified Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Olea Europaea)Widely praised in the Mediterranean region, Olive oil is obtained from the pressing of ripe olives. It is extremely nourishing and is known to regulate the natural moisturizing system. Olive oil smoothes and softens, and is great for stimulating and healing skin.
Natural & Organic Flavors/ Essential Oils)A variety of flavors obtained from a common distillation process. Flavor sources are derived from one or more of the following depending on the specific flavor: spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material. Natural flavors include the natural essence or extractives obtained from plants.
Candelilla Wax (Euphorbia Cerifera)Extracted from the coat of the candelilla shrub, which is found in hot, arid regions of the world. This natural vegetable wax gives body and sheen and acts as a thickening agent in products. It forms a protective layer preventing dryness and chapping of the skin and lips. It is also widely used as a natural alternative to beeswax
Certified Organic Carnauba Wax (Copernicia Cerifera) Extracted from the leaves of the Brazilian wax palm tree, also know as the "Tree of Life" Carnauba Wax is an edible wax known to have the highest melting point of any natural wax found on earth.
Soy Wax (Glycine Soya) Soy Wax is a natural vegetable wax derived from soybeans. It is biodegradable, making it clean and environmentally friendly, while supporting the ever growing community of soy farmers. Soy Wax is valued for it's firming traits while providing a creamy consistency, soft to the touch.
Natural Stevia (Eupatorium Rebaudianum - Bertoni) Discovered by South American native Bertoni in the late 1800’s. Stevia is an all natural plant that has amazing sweetening properties, without the accumulation of unwanted calories. Stevia is a natural alternative to sodium saccharin, a synthetic sweetener commonly found in some lip care products.
Mica A natural, pearlescent mineral pigment.
Iron Oxide A natural mineral pigment.
Titanium Dioxide A natural mineral white pigment -  it is known to reflect light and is considered a natural sun block.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol) A naturally occurring vitamin extracted from foods and plants. Vitamin E is essential for healthy, nourished skin. Due to its natural antioxidant properties, (the slow down of oxygen related reactions) Vitamin E serves as a natural preservative, prolonging the shelf life of products."


Okay so all that is company info. 
But,the flavor of these lip balms actually taste like the drink(due to the stevia) and make lips feel soft and nourished.The first one I tried is Spiced Chai.I can't stop applying it.
If you want an awesome lip balm with crazy good flavor and scent ditch those other heavy and icky lip balm brands and give these a try, your lips will thank you.

There is a variety of flavors.There are even lip tints and an "Au Naturale" scent,color,flavor and sweetener free option.

*List Balm of choices: 
Dessert
Floral 
Seasonal
Ice Cream
Citrus
Bubble Gum
Coffee
Tea 
Soda
Candy Cane
Color Balm

*There are individual flavors in these categories.These can be purchased in a set or separately.Each set has two or four lip balms

Bare Minerals/Escentuals.

I've had my eye on this brand for a while.I finally decided to try it.I checked and made sure it isn't tested on animals or contained animal ingrediants.
.
 "Does your company test on animals or contain animal ingredients?
 Please feel at ease when using Bare Escentuals and mdformulations products as we do not test any products on animals. We also do not work with any manufacturers that do animal testing.
Bare Escentuals natural haired brushes are made of Goat and Pony. Please note that no animals are harmed in the process of making our brushes. For our customers who chose not to use animal haired brushes we do offer a variety of high end synthetic brushes."

"Does your company adhere to labor standards when it comes to children?

Please be assured that Bare Escentuals does not do business with any domestic or foreign companies that use Child Labor."

Cruelty-Free:Yes
Vegan:No

Vegan vs. Cruelty-Free

Some people think these two go hand in hand.Sometimes they do but I've noticed some difference in these terms.
Vegan
-Does NOT contain any animal ingredients.
-Not tested on animals.
Cruelty-Free
-Not tested on animals.
-Not always vegan can have carmine,honey,or beeswax ingredients, to name a few.

Testing,testing...

I will no longer be reviewing or purchasing cosmetics and products tested on animals. I try to stay away from certain companies that do,I don't intentionally buy them. But when it comes to budget spending it may not be very easy to find inexpensive vegan and cruelty free items in stores.Most vegan and cruelty free companies are easier to find online. I have made a purchase from MAC.I thought that they didn't test on animals but since they and most other companies are expanding to China they have to animal test as required by Chinese law.I cannot stand by them and give them my business.Think before you buy.There are many alternatives to big brand cosmetic and products that can work as well or even better.

If you would like to help decrease the demand for cosmetics and products that test on animal visit this website to learn which companies do test and which companies don't test. Also there are many companies that claim to be cruelty free but their ingredients are tested on animals or their parent company tests on animals.

For more information of companies that aren't telling the whole truth visit this page,I encourage you to read this post:
