The Honest Co. Organic Nipple Balm

Nipple Balm as Lip Balm!  Well, I was hoping that this would be a good option to use at home.  Fall & Winter weather wreak havoc on my skin, especially around my lips.  EOS had not been cutting it, anything with any menthol or camphor makes it worse and my usual back up Palmer's Cocoa Butter Lip Balm was not helping either.  I ordered this with my bundle and tested it out at home.  

Think Dirty Rating:

The oils really warm up with your fingertips and it liquefies quickly creating a slick surface on your lips.  I would probably use this for chapped skin like around my lips and nose, but probably not for my lips.  This might also be good as a cuticle balm or moisturize areas on hand, but not sure about carrying this around in my purse.  Haha!  "Why do you have nipple balm in your bag?"

Cost: $13.95 from The Honest Company

A little holiday bonus!

Got this cute pack in my Honest Co. order.

Sugar cookie kit with a snowflake cookie cutter. How sweet! 

Updated Packaging: The Honest Co. Body Oil

Finally a pump bottle instead of the pull up cap of the older bottle.  Slippery hands while applying the body oil, not a good thing.  Klutz.  Fall/Winter, I mix this with Aveeno lotion and apply post-shower for super soft skin.  This packaging is a definite improvement!

The Honest Co - Honest Sunscreen Stick

Sunscreen - an essential that I cannot live without and something I need to be in the habit of utilizing more often.  I do apply sunscreen on my face in the AM, but that's it.  Unless I'm at the pool or beach, I don't reapply.  My daily moisturizer doesn't hold up well to heat and sweat and it will end up running into my eyes during a run.  I tested The Honest Co. Honest Sunscreen Stick before a run in the hot August heat.  I had tried The Honest Co. Sunscreen SPF 30, but did not like the way it felt on my skin.  It felt like I was rubbing grease and looked exactly that, greasy.  I did give it to my Sissy to use on my Nephew during soccer, so that might fare well.  

One swipe on the forehead, each cheek, chin and nose. I also applied on my neck and ears.

Would I recommend this to a friend?  If you are already an Honest subscriber, add this to your bundle!  You can save a few dollars if you do.  Otherwise, no I would not suggest this item.  While this is a safer option, it isn't as obtainable to everyone and the price is a bit steep for a small amount.  As noted above, the Burt's Bees and California Baby sunscreen sticks can be found at Target and may be a more convenient option.
