Every time I go to Shoppers Drug Mart I always take a quick glance at the essence display. I like to see what new products they come out with because essence was a brand I loved when I wore makeup (I barely wear any for now). I rarely buy anything though, but the last time I went the fruit kiss lip balms caught my attention. I don’t need lip balm right now, but I still bought some. I grabbed 01 Raspberry Dream and 06 Coconut Lust so let’s take a look at them.
These are made with 10% almond oil. The rest of the ingredients are not on the packaging, but I found them on the essence site.

Oddly enough I don’t see almond oil in the ingredients list for the 06 Coconut Lust lip balm. I wonder if they just forgot to put it in the list, or if it’s not in the product at all. It says on the packaging that it has 10% almond oil. Hmm…
The 01 Raspberry Dream lip balm adds a little pink shimmer to the lips. While the 06 Coconut Lust doesn’t have shimmer in it, it still adds a nice balmy shine to the lips.
Let’s talk about their scent because they smell so good! The 01 Raspberry Dream smells like sweet candies. It’s very sweet and I find that it smeels like a strawberry lollipop (yes, strawberry). It’s very pleasant. The 06 Coconut Lust smells like creamy coconut. It’s a bit waxy when you smell the product directly, but on the lips, it’s very creamy and coconutty. It’s my favourite out of the two. But they both smell very good.
How do they feel on the lips? Wonderful! They require a couple of passes on the lips to get a comfortable amount, and then they melt into the lips. They leave mine feeling moisturized, smooth, and soft. When they wear off they don’t leave my lips feeling dry and yearning for more.
I didn’t need more lip balms, but now I have them everywhere: bedside table, sofa side table, desk, purse. Anywhere that I regularly sit there is a lip balm. ๐
These two fruit kiss caring lip balms have been working great for me and I’m happy with my purchase.
Have you tried these? What are your go-to lip balms?
