Organic Vanilla Mint Lip Balm.......tested out in Mexico!

I'm writing this lounging on my balcony overlooking the ocean in Mexico. No kidding.

My husband and I have a child-free (!!!!) week in Cabo San Lucas, courtesy of my husband's brother, who owns a timeshare at a fancy hotel. He is letting us use a week for free, which is incredibly generous of him. We would never stay at a fancy place like this, but am I complaining? No. I am sipping Mexican beer, listening to and looking at ocean waves, computer on my lab, ready to review Honey Bee Holistics lip balm.

And let me tell you: lip balm is essential in Mexico. There is lots of sun, salt water, and wind to dry up those lips, and since this is kind of a honeymoon, I have to make sure my lips stay nice and kissable.

Melissa's lip balm is working wonders on me so far. I am very picky about lip balm: I don't like the stuff that feels greasy and thick on the lips, and I don't like artificial smells. I also don't like it when lip balm makes your lips tingle. So this vanilla balm is perfect for a lip balm snob like me.

Disaster struck on the flight to Mexico, somewhere over Phoenix. Across the aisle from us sat a family with a two year old daughter.  They had their hands full keeping the little girl happy. My husband said something about our four year old daughter, who would be bouncing off the seat by now, and I cracked up laughing. That did it. The recycled airplane air had made my lips dry, and I had forgotten to put the lip balm in my carry-on bag. I felt my lip split. It hurt. Bad start to our trip.

Immediately after landing and reclaiming our baggage, I yanked out Melissa's lip balm and put it on. I re-applied it every hour for the rest of the day. The next day, my lips were good as new!

We have been playing in the ocean, swimming in a chlorinated pool, sunbathing in the hot sun, drinking plenty of salty margaritas, but my lips have stayed hydrated, soft and kissable!

I get giddy just looking at the ingredients.  Listen to this: Organic Tahitian Vanilla Bean infused olive oil!  Wow!  How exotic is that!  Then there is local unrefined beeswax.  I love, love, love that Melissa uses local ingredients.  In fact, I bet I know the guy whose bees make this.  He also sells honey, and I buy from him!  Way to support local!  Then there is organic fair trade shea butter.  No, not some ordinary shea butter, but fair trade!  Yes!  And then we have organic peppermint essential oil and organic vanilla essence.

Now this is a lip balm I support buying.

Review of my next new soap......Organic Oatmeal Honey!

So it is raining outside, as it has been off an on for a few weeks now! I pop out every so often when it gets down to a sprinkle to enjoy some fresh air! Sometimes there is sunshine!! It will be nice when the sun makes more visits, I miss it! Don't get me wrong, I am quite pale and I don't like the sun THAT much cause I burn so easily!

So I have added a new product so I can tolerate the sun better.....Organic Sunscreen! It is made with my healing Organic Calendula Lotion with added titanium dioxide & zinc oxide. These are natural minerals that help reflect the sun from your skin. I tried it on my face too, and it rubs in quite well!

Plus it is Organic and is free of parabens and chemicals! It works better if applied to dry skin, then re-applied every hour or so. It has not been tested by the FDA or anything, but I know that the percent of titanium & zinc is compared to a 25-30SPF.

Available for sale on my website http://www.honeybeeholistics.com & Etsy shop! http://www.etsy.com/listing/71642182/organic-sunscreen-lotion-protects-from

So now for the Organic Oatmeal Honey Soap!! It is made with skin loving Organic Castor Oil, Local Beeswax & Local Honey to name a few ingredients!

Next to be reviewed.......My newest creation, Organic Walnut Apricot soap!!

Now presenting my NEW Wrinkle Away Face Cream!!

This luxuriously rich Organic Face Cream is made of Organic Oils of Apricot, Jojoba, Essential Carrott Seed plus Local Organic Beeswax that contains the sought after ingredient Bee Propolis. Organic Almond oil helps to retain skins' elasticity and suppleness. Organic Jojoba Oil helps promote skin healing and acts as a natural moisture barrier. Carrott seed essential oil contains antioxidants to repair damage done by free radicals. Bee propolis is a natural anti-inflammatory.
When gently applied at bedtime all over face and neck, these proprietary ingredients reduce fine lines and wrinkles and help to eliminate puffiness. Remember to apply in upward outward strokes to help prevent tugging at your skin. It is also effective at reducing fine lines around the lips. Less is more with this face cream, a little will do the trick.

This pairs well with my very popular Wrinkle Away Eye Cream! Made from mostly the same ingredients, but in a concentrated form made especially for around the eyes and mouth!
