EOS; Alice In Wonderland Collection

I saw these on a blog somewhere many months ago, and knew i just HAD to have them! I love anything Alice In Wonderland Themed. EOS is pretty hard to get hold of here in the UK, and after a little scout on Ebay, i was willing to pay the extortionate prices on there, for what is essentially a few lip balms. Luckily, i have family in America, and they had recently asked me if there was anything particular I'd like for Christmas, THIS was top of my list, Though knowing they were limited edition over there, i wasn't sure how long they'd already been out before i discovered them. But luckily they managed to find me a packet, which i am so so grateful for, So along with a bag full of American 'candy' this is what i got for Christmas Stateside.

The packaging looks simple and cute, with little 'Alices' printed all round the edges, the rest just being plain white. Simple but effective. But, once you take the insert holding the balms out, you're treated to this...

I LOVE IT!

A cute little print of the Mad Hatters Tea Party, with the quote "Very Few Things Indeed Were Really Impossible" I'd of much preferred it, if it wasn't then printed in another language, but that can't be helped.

I am planning on putting this up in my room somewhere.

The down side of these balms, that once they're out of the packaging you'd never know they were part of an Alice In Wonderland collection, the only inkling is the Mickey Mouse head embossed into the packaging. Though that alone doesn't scream 'Alice In Wonderland' Maybe a Rabbit or a Tea Cup. But i suppose Disney have to get their mark on it somehow/where. Also, the packaging does affect the effectiveness of the products, its all aesthetic so it doesn't reaalllyyy matter. It just would have been nice.

EOS Balms are 100% Natural and 95% Organic. They are also Paraben-Free and contain Shea Butter and Joboba Oil.

The Alice Collection Included 3 Flavours...

Blueberry Potion

This smells and tastes just like a Blueberry Muffin. I though this flavour was going to be my least favourite. But i actually think it might be my favourite.The scent/flavour is really subtle and not to over-powering or to synthetic. The formulation is really nice, it not to greasy or to dry and it glides onto the lips 

I haven't given them all a proper trial as to lasting times etc but I've heard many-a-good thing about EOS Lip Balms.

Watermelon Wonderland

This is my second favourite flavour from the trio or possibly equal to Blueberry Potion. It so fruity and sweet, i just love love love it. Again once the balm is on your lips, it isn't to sweet or overpowering, but it does make me want to lick it off.

Sweet Vanilla Nonsense

I think my least favourite smell from the trio. It has a weird vanilla smell almost like bees waxy kind of hint to it, which I'm not a massive fan of. Its not as bad once its on the lips, but the actual Vanilla-ness is so so subtle. Which i suppose is good in contrast to the other sweet scents.

So all in all, I'm very pleased to have Alice In Wonderland EOS Balms, I'm also very excited to try EOS balms for the first time and have already have other flavours recommended to me (i really want to try the lemon one!)

Have you tried EOS Lip Balms before?

Lush; Magic Mushroom

Yes another Lush review (there's only one more to write i promise) I had a bit of a spree in lush, but forgot to do a haul before i started using them all! This product i actually received in a swap over at the lovely Beauty Box Swaps.

This particular bubble bar was a limited edition for valentines day, i think its SO cute, and that they should keep it for the whole Easter/mothers day period! 

Its a little bit smaller than some of the other bubble bars available, but this doesn't make it any less bubbly or yummy. The red part of the mushroom has a vanilla scent where, the white stalk is scented with strawberry, creating a gorgeous strawberries & cream kind of scent when its all mixed in the bath together.

I tried to use about half of the bar, but because of the shape it was difficult to get it even, so i ended up using WAY over half! It foamed up really nicely, and even turned the water an alarming red colour! (when i showed my boyfriend that photo, he said it looked like I'd bled out in the bath!) Luckily it didn't stain my mums white tub!

Unlike some of the other bars the scent doesn't really stay on the skin as much, its very very faint.

I do love this product, as its quite quirky and smell is yummy! I'd definitely buy this as a present for a friend.

Did you try any of the Valentines Limited Edition Products?

Lots of Love
