I admit I collect foody lip balm.  There!  I said it.

I always want to try On10 lip balms, especially their Hershey’s line.  What stopped me was that they are quite expensive (originally $9 for a tin at Sephora).  Then their prices went down to $5 I thought it’s a good time to try so I went to Sephora, only to find out they don’t carry it (the one at Square One).  Disappointment!

Few weeks ago I went to Winners and I was pleasantly surprised to see On10 there.  I found Micky Combination Set (Minnie Mango, Micky Mint, and Wild Cherry in a cosmetic case), Are You a Schweppicure Combination Set (Dry Grape, Ginger Ale, and Tonic Water in a cosmetic case), Scheweppes Trio (Lime, Grape Fruit, and Tonic Water), and Hershey’s Trio (Almond, Vanilla Creme, and Milk Chocolate, not photoed).

I read reviews that some people think they are waxy and tasty plasticky.  Not me!  I think they are very moisturizing without the yucky waxy feeling (which I hate hate hate).  The Hershey’s trio don’t go plasticky on me neither.  Just sweet, wonderful, creamy.  I particularly love Minnie Mango, Dry Grape, Grape Fruit, Milk Chocolate.  Not too crazy about tonic water because it is not really scent-free, but with a faint weird taste… of… water? lol

I got the trio sets for $5.99 Cdn ($16US at Sephora), and the combination set for $12.99 Cdn ($18US at Sephora).  I think the Trio is very good value because each tim comes in 0.5 oz (14.2 g) which is quite a lot.  The skinny lip balms that come with the cosmetic case become very little when compared to the trios.  The comsetic clutch is very skinny too which you can’t fit too much in (possibly just coins and credit card?!) but then who cares?  The clutches are cute
