Review: Twist&Pout


Hello!
It's Valentine's Day! :) A perfect occasion to present you this cute little lip balms.






Have you ever heard of Twist&Pout? No? Well you should have ;) It's a lip balm that is also an accessory! How smart! I've never seen anything like that before!




I've been sent 3 Twist&Pout lip balms. One is a lip balm and the other two are colored lip balms.


I've got Princess (the pink one), Jungle look (green, the middle) and Groovy (the funky one).


Let's move to the pictures:

Here are all three

Ingredients: Active Ingredients: 7.5% Octinoxate (Octyl Methoxycinnamate), 4.5% Oxybenzone (Benzophenone-3). Purpose: SPF-20 Sunscreen
Inactive Ingredients: Petrolatum, Ozokerite Wax, Beezwax, Sorbitan Oleate, Flavoring, Shea Butter, Sucralose, Caranuba Wax, Kukui Nut Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Grape Seed Oil, Cocoa Seed Butter, Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C), Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A), Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3), Aloe Vera Leaf Juice.

Now to the review:

I was really excited to test this out! When I got it, I immediately noticed the cute package and the smell! Yes the smell. It smells very fruity, like tropical fruit to me. On their site it is described as a citrus fruit. Anyway I love it :) The lip balm doesn't feel sticky or heavy on my lips and it tastes sweet (really really really sweet). Plus it has got SPF 20!

And what I really love about it? You can clip it to your bag or keys! I have it clipped to my handbag and since than I didn't need to search through my whole bag (it's huge with lot of pockets) for a tiny lip balm!

Overall:

+The design: Cute and you can definitely find something for your taste!
+ Practical? Yes! I have it clipped to my bag and so far there has been no need to search through the whole bag for a balm/gloss.
+ The smell: Fruity, Love it.
+ How it feels on my lips: non sticky and refreshing
+ SPF 20!
+ The choice of a regular or a colored lip balm
+ How everyone is asking you what is that cute thing on your bag :D
+ It lasts for many hours on your lips
+ natural ingredients
+ heals damaged lips (it happens a lot in winter)


- The taste is way too sweet (I hate it)
