I have a pretty kickass dollar store nearby to where I work. It provides the sweet ass candy bowls on my desk, as well as the amazing laffy taffy that goes into the sweet ass candy bowl. Like many other retailers, the dollar store has used the "hey look at this this sweet stuff right next to the register that you could easily add to your haul while you stand in line" tactic. I see you, dollar store. I see you.
So anyways, went there last week to stock up on the good ol' laffy taffy & BOOM - they got me. And after a week of using this little gem, boooyyy am I glad that they did:
Blistex "Raspberry Lemonade Blast"
Clearly, this only cost me $1
Now typically I hate the smell of Blistex and was never really a big fan of it. A little too much of a "medication" scent for me. BUT - I am an avid lover of anything raspberry scented and when you combine it with my favorite beverage.. you have a winner. I figured it was only a buck so I bought it. If it sucked, I could pitch it and there would be no hard feelings between me and the dollar store. Luckily, I opened it and used it once and the smell alone was enough to make me cherish it. Not only does it smell exactly like raspberry lemonade (we're talking absolutely NO weird aftersmell or anything), it has a little bit of a fruity taste to it, as well. Nothing too overwhelming, but it's better than the taste of bland, chemically wax on your lips, right?
I have a problem with the.. like - inner part of my lip getting flaky. It's hard to explain, but I'm sure there are others out there who have a similar gripe. Anytime I put any type of lipstick on, the part of my lip going in towards my mouth looks a little flaky. It's annoying and quite a bitch to get rid of. Well - it was a bitch to get rid of because after a week of using some magical raspberry lemonade blistex wonder, IT'S GONE! It's a goddamn miracle! My lips have never been softer or smoother and I am really happy that this product not only smells great, BUT WORKS! It also has SPF 15 in it, so this is absolutely my new go-to summer lip balm. Amazing smell, actually does what it says, and sun protection.
You got me.
