Vintage Sister Lip Balms


Here are my NEEEEWWWW lip balms. I'm a lip balm/gloss/stick junkie. When I first moved out of my parents' house, I distinctly remember agonizing over buying chicken broth, but definitely HAD to have a new tube of lip balm (blistex raspberry lemonade to be exact) and didn't think twice. It's a disease of irrationality, I admit it. So, of course, when I got wind of vintagesister.com, I had to investigate immediately. Vintage sister specializes in homemade lip balm that is made with all natural ingredients and very interesting flavors. The balms sell for $3.95 a piece and shipping is $5.00 no matter how many you buy so I recommend buying at least three. The ones I bought were Gummi Bear, Divatini, and Cosmopolitan. Here are my thoughts: They come in cute little tins. Generally, I prefer tubes for sanitation reasons, but I'm willing to forgive. If anything, I just wash my hands more often and Lord knows that's not a bad thing. The flavors are to die for. My favorite is Cosmopolitan. All this said, it's not the most moisturizing balm I've ever used. I do find myself reapplying it quite often but I can't complain because the ingredients are all things I've actually heard of and can pronounce and the company makes the batches fresh every week. All in all, I recommend these fine folks. Go pick out a few flavors and enjoy!

  1. I am the same way. I actually purchased the SAME Blistex lip balm this week... without a second thought! I have to have come kind of chapstick, gloss, or balm with me at all times. If my lips get dry and something moisturizin' ain't handy, I have a total mental break-down!
