Hi!
It has been a very long time. Sorry!
Anyways, it's the Christmas Holiday now! December is a few days away so I went out a few days ago to hunt for something for the girls and I found and hauled these babies: Paul Frank Lip Smackers!
For the longest time I've been using EOS Lip Balm which I totally adore! My personal favorite is the EOS Honeydew Lip Balm flavor which is totally awesome! But I'm not really the type that keep on re-touches my lips whenever I need to. I am so used to putting on make-up only once and since my make-up really stays on the entire day I don't touch up at all. That's the good thing about paying more for make-up brands coz the quality just lives up not just to its name but for its price as well. So most of the time I only apply my lip balm right after shower in the morning and before going to bed at night.
And by far my EOS has never failed in giving my lips the moisture that it needs. But now, my EOS has been out, so I don't have that moisturizer my lips needed for the longest time now thus I had cracked lips (due to the weather) and I've long time never did my usual lip scrub just so coz I was feeling lazy.
Anyways, point is, LIP SMACKERS ARE AWESOME!!! The day after I used Lip Smacker, particularly Paul Frank, my lips felt so moisturized, soft and I don't have that dead skin peeling off from my lips which I usually have since the day I ran out of EOS.

Bonne Bell does NOT test on animals which is really important. Any brands/products that tests on animals are violating the rights of these living things just so because they are animals. Its inhuman! And Lip Smackers are Paraben free which is good.
