New Cupcake Chapstick!!!

Hey, everybody!! I am super excited right now! I just got the brand new limited edition cupcake edition Chapsticks!! These are super hard to find across the country and are going for big money on the Internet. I was pretty close to buying a Chapstick for $20, which is pretty ridiculous. So, while at Walmart today, I found the cupcake collection (is it a collection if there's only two?) and they were only 98₵! If you were there, you would have seen me freak out in public. But, anyways, enough rambling.

So, there are two flavors, Cake Batter and Velvet Cupcake.

The packaging is great if you're going to be giving one of these as a gift. Unfortunately for everyone, I'm not so generous...

Both chapsticks have a cute little cupcake on the cap. How could you cap that? ;) 

As you can tell from the pictures, the cake batter is a translucent white and velvet cupcake appears reddish pink. When applied to the lips, the velvet cupcake loses that tint and just looks like a regular lip balm. But the question is, does it feel like a regular lip balm?

Wait for it....

No! It's so luxuriously smooth on your lips. I've tried a lot of lip balms. A lot. And these are currently in my top five. This is hour 4 of having them. So that's saying something. The staying power is alright. This certainly isn't your overnight lip balm if you have flaked, cracked, bleeding lips. If you have well hydrated lips, it'll probably be fine for overnight. However, I'd recommend them more as a day balm. I think that, because of the smoothness they create, they would be great if you through lipstick or gloss over either. If you don't, you might be a bit tempted to lick it all off ;).

It doesn't feel really thin, but it's not too thick either. This morning, I had decently dry lips, but I feel that so far it's already started working to help with that. I'll update you guys soon to let you know how they work out for me over a longer period of time (this is kind of like  a first impressions blog), but, thus far, I'm impressed. 

As for appearance, they go on nicely and aren't too shiny. They're nothing like a lip gloss and add no color to your lips. They make your lips look hydrated. If you're a guy and want to wear them, go for it. It's nothing like those tinted baby lips lip balms (which I am yet to try but I've heard lots of good things about them and have seen them on numerous people...let me know in the comments if I should purchase one).

Overall, I'd give them a 4.9 out of 5 (just because nothing's perfect, but these are close to it).

Thank you for reading!
