The majority of women I know are obsessed with glosses, but me, I have a lust for lip balm. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good gloss, but when I come across a new lippie, I instantly have to add it to my collection. My stock-pile includes over a hundred different tubes of lube. The ever-popular favorites dot my assortment: Burt’s Bee Beeswax Lip Balm, $2.50, Weleda Everon Lip Balm, $5.00, Bloom Aromatherapy Lip Balm, $8 and the coveted La Mer The Lip Balm, $45. Yet my true blue favs are the ever hard-to-find indie brands. A quick click over to Kiss Fix (formerly lipmedic.com) can always get my lips a smacking. I’ll be reviewing my all time favorites in upcoming posts, starting today with Lip Ganache.
Known as Dessert for Your Lips, the Lip Ganache lineup is comprised of all natural gourmet lip balms. The entire range contains high quality ingredients such as shea butter, vitamin e, rosemary extract and apricot kernel oil in generous proportions. But what makes the product line really unique is that it contains real chocolate, and not just any chocolate, but Scharffen Berger chocolate. Scharffen Berger is an award-winning high-end chocolate maker that caters to gourmet cooks and professional chefs.
The texture of the product is light, buttery and emollient. "I wanted to make a lip balm that was protective but not waxy like the other brands," said Ganache creator and owner Patricia West. "I think what we have here is something really luscious and decadent, really more of a lip conditioner."
Smooth and creamy like the real thing. But unlike the real thing, it stays on your lips and not the hips. Chocolate enthusiasts will have a hard time selecting just one flavor: Chocolate Hazelnut, Chocolate Marzipan, Chocolate Mint, Chocolate Mousse, Chocolate Orange and Chocolate Raspberry. My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.", but at $4 bucks a pop, it’s easy to indulge and try them all. Lemon Mousse, Mocha Latte and Vanilla Mousse complete the savory collection. So run, Forrest, run and get me some Lip Ganache.
