I was really pumped about the (organic!) Say Yes to Carrots line of lip butters to the point where it was built up in my head and was ultimately let down. I expected it to be something spectacular and in the end found that it was quite ordinary. Despite this, I continued to reach for my Carrot flavoured lip balm time and time again until, oops, it was ALL gone! This is a huge feat for me; because I am so lip balm obsessed I have far more than one set of lips reasonably requires and thus never finish one.

Anyway, when it was finished I tried to function with my old stand by (Nivea Essential Lip Care) but found that in the summer it was too thick and goopy. Before long I went back to my Say Yes to Carrots because it was firmer and smoother. This time I chose Mint and I am ecstatic. It is smooth and silky. It stays on my lips for hours and my lips feel so soft. The mint is just lovely as a lip balm, for the scent and the texture (it is less grainy feeling than the its carrot counterpart). I LOVE it and highly recommend picking one up.

Say Yes to Carrots Lip Butters are available in Carrot, Mint, Citrus, Berry and Melon (although I have never seen Melon or Citrus in any Shoppers Drug Mart that I have been to…)
