Pluggity!

I got a lip balm order a few weeks back, just in time for my birthday, and I am so incredibly happy with it. *grins*

http://www.saskya.com/lipbalm/ is the site I ordered from (okay, I actually ordered from saskya directly before the site was up...), and OMG! I love this stuff! In particular, I ordered a tube of Peach Clove that I absolutely adore. It's fruity-spicy, not too strong, but not too weak, a nice, soothing consistancy on the lips and not sticky or greasy feeling, and it doesn't *taste* bad (which some do, when they have odd scents). This is so my flavor - if I were to ever design a signature scent, this would be it.

Check out the site, you can mix and match various flavors, and I was super impressed by the speed and service. I also got Sage Honey, which is a wonderful not-too-sweet smell, and clove, and Chai tea, which are exactly as they sound - the chai tea is quite mellow and delicious. She also tucked in Herbal Mint for me, which is as good as brushing teeth for a quick pick-me-up smell, and candy kisses, which is much sweeter (and Jake says he won't kiss me if I wear it, so that will be a daytime gloss while he's at work...).

She's got some new flavors in I want to try, too: watermelon and raspberry lemonade, in particular! I wonder if watermelon would go with clove? Maybe pearberry clove... Mm...

oh man! I really didn't need another obsession but Raspberry lemonade sounds right up my alley!

Are they more of a gloss (like roll-on) or a stick/pot (like chapstick or burts bees)?

It's a stick, but not 'hard' like some handmade glosses (as I remember Burt's being), very soft and silky. :)

Ooh, perfect! Thank you for posting about this, I'll be trying to narrow down my choices now. :D (and she does custom flavors!!!)

I know, custom flavors! Everytime i go to make up a batch for myself, i am stuck pondering for a couple of days before i actually make a choice.

I wanted to offer something that you just can't find in stores; the ability to have a flavor that YOU want. Of course, that lends itself to decisions decisions! *grin*

Hmm, that sounds PERFECT. I've ordered a few and will see what I like. Thanks for the reccomendation, I love finding little out of the way things like this to try.

I am absolutely thrilled with your order - thank you so much. I hope you enjoy your lip balm as much as Ellen seems to be enjoying hers!

Oh, Peach Clove sounds divine!!! She has Eucalyptus, too, which I love...I'd mix that with lavender or tea tree. Hmmmm...I might have to order a couple. Thanks for the link! ^_^

I made up your Eucalyptus Lavender tonight and Ohhhhhhh... yeah. You've hit on a lovely combination there. I made sure to keep one aside for my personal stock it was so nice!

Thank you for your order. This whole shindig has me absolutely giddy!

That's so awesome, saskya! Thank you so much!!! ^_^ I can't wait to get them! *glomp*

*giggles* That is so charming, you obsessed with lipgloss/chapstick. :D Right now I have a tube that was burts bees that I filled with some other lip stuff that was in ont of those jars. It's tingly! I like tingly lip stuff. I never understood the little jar thing, sure it is cute, but you have to stick your icky finger into it to get any out. I was using my pinky finger nail, for some reason I kept feeling like I was doing snuff (or something).

Ellen!!

*laugh* I don't know why i was slow in actually adding you to my friends list, but when cynnalia said she came from you i was like.... 'o.0 wow, i am slow!'

THANK YOU for the plug. I can't tell you how much i appreciate it, as well as your glowing review. You have thrilled me in the best way possible (ok ok, maybe the second best...) and oh yes, i thank you for it.
