The Lolly Shop for your lips! I LOVE the tag line of the Addicted to Lip Balm online store!
With 5 females in the Mummified household, you can imagine how much lip gloss and lip balm we go through! So I was pretty excited to find out about Addicted to Lip Balm, created by Leah O’Neill out of frustration with a lack of a one-stop shop for Lip Balm products and a real passion for Lip Care.
Leah kindly sent me a parcel of goodies to sample. Even though, Annabelle (my 2 year old) is a lip balm princess and never goes anywhere without her “lippy”, I thought it would be a better idea to get Tiesha (16) and Madeline (14) to help me test them out.
All the better to kiss you with – Lavender Vanilla $11.95
- USDA Certified Organic Lip Balm in vintage recyclable tins
- 100% natural and always cruelty free
- One kiss breaches the distance between friendship and love
- For luscious soft lips, apply to lips and kiss! Yummy!
What we thought:
Tiesha: I don’t like lavender so the scent doesn’t appeal to me but the tin is cute and it feels nice on my lips.
Madeline: The tin is cool but I don’t like lavender so I don’t like the smell of it. But it felt soft on my lips.
Me: I like the cute little tin and it’s length is long nail-friendly. Lavender is one of my favourite scents. I like that it doesn’t feel too heavy on my lips and that it’s 100% natural.
Cake Kiss – Mulberry Sorbet $14.95
- Brand new to Australia – direct from Canada and only available through Addicted 2 Lip Balm

- A rich and nearly sheer lip butter that nourishes, moisturises and protects lips leaving them dewy, soft and natural with a wash of colour
- Comes in 4 flavours – mulberry sorbet, caramel cream, lemon chiffon and pink berry
What we thought:
Tiesha: I like the smell of this one and I like the feel of it on my lips.
Madeline: Mmm! Smells good, I want to eat it! I like this one. It’s not sticky and makes my lips soft.
Me: I like the subtle tint of this one and the feel. But I think the scent is quite strong and too sweet for my liking.
Dr Bronner’s Organic Lip Balm – Naked $4.95
- Certified Organic Dr Bronner’s lip balms are based on organic oils and beeswax free of petrochemically modified ingredients
- The organic avocado oil and beeswax provide excellent lip protection while the organic jojoba and hemp oils assist moisturisation
- comes in lemon lime, naked, orange ginger and peppermint
What we thought:
Tiesha: This one smells a bit weird to me. I like that it’s in a tube so you don’t have to get it on your fingers.
Madeline: I like this one. I like that it’s in a tube but the smell is a bit funny.
Me: I like that it’s easy to apply because it’s in tube-form but the scent is a little weird to me and it feels quite heavy on my lips even though I only put a thin layer on.
Morgan Annie Lip Scrub – Latte $24.95

- Also available in chocolate truffle and vanilla
What we thought:
Tiesha: I like the smell of this one. I like the feel of it when you rub in on your lips and how it makes your lips feel smooth afterwards. I don’t like how it’s in a small jar because it’s not easy to get out with long nails.
Madeline: It looks weird with sandy bits in it. It smells nice but I don’t like the taste of it.
Me: I LOVE this scrub! My lips have a tendency to dry out and get flaky so this was a great way to make them smooth. It felt a bit weird, feeling the raw sugar over my lips but once I wiped it off, I could feel the difference!

What we thought:
Tiesha: This is my favourite. I like the tub because it’s easier to put on with long nails. It feels silky on your lips and smells nice.
Madeline: This one smells good and feels nice. It feels a little sticky. I like the tin.
Me: The tin is really cute and easy to use with long nails. It has a very subtle scent which I like and it feels nice on my lips. Doesn’t feel greasy and when removed, my lips felt soft.

What we thought:
Tiesha: It feels smooth and there’s no scent. The small tin makes it hard to apply.
Madeline: It’s very soft. Feels good on my lips.
Me: I like the feel of this one. It’s not greasy and it has a subtle scent. The tin is a little small and made it hard to use with long nails but it’s definitely another favourite out of the ones we tested.

What we thought:
Tiesha: I like the smell of this one. And how it makes your lips tingle when you put it on.
Madeline: I don’t like the smell of this one. And I don’t like the tingly feeling.
Me: I like that this one is being marketed as unisex. More men need to use lip balm as well and know that it doesn’t make them less of a man! LOL Cute little metal tin and I love the peppermint scent and how it makes your lips tingle.

Madeline: This one feels velvety. I don’t mind the smell of it and the tub is cute.
Me: While this one is a little greasy for my liking, it did make my lips feel a lot softer almost immediately. It has a nice scent and I love that it contains no petroleum.
We had so much fun testing out the lip balms from Addicted 2 Lip Balms! Thanks, Leah! I’ll be lucky to keep one to myself because the girls’ friends have put dibs on them! LOL
