Only a few more hours to enter the Epic Blend giveaway! But I wanted to do a quick review on two additional flavors I received from Epic Blend that I have also decided to add to the giveaway prize this month. So instead of one person winning 10 Epic Blend flavors, the winner will now will 12 Epic Blend flavors including my absolute favorite, "Banana"! You can see my full review on the Epic Blend Lip Lovin' Superpack here. I was a bit disappointed that I didn't get to review the "Banana" and after reading my review, Epic Blend was kind enough to send me two "Banana" and two "Garnet Star". So thank you very, very much Epic Blend!
As I predicted in the initial review, I love the "Banana". This flavor is part of the Epic Blend Hemp Collection and is limited edition...unless it's a fan favorite! (My vote is, "YES" keep it in the regular line!) It smells just like a banana and has a slight banana flavor. None of the Epic Blend flavors are strong or overwhelming. Though the scent is strong in the application tube, upon application it's very faint. I was so excited when I received it, I immediately put it on and made my friend smell my lips. She couldn't distinguish the banana scent or maybe her nose isn't very good...not sure which.
The key ingredients are:
• Organic Hemp Seed Oil
• Organic Coconut Oil
• Organic Sunflower Oil
• Organic Beeswax
• Non-GMO Vitamin E

Epic Blend : "Garnet Star" Lip Balm swatch

The "Garnet Star" is the only lip balm in the Epic Blend line that has tint and I was surprised at how much tint it does have. The "Garnet Star" is described as a sheer merlot color with a subtle shimmer that still keeps a natural look. I think it gives lips a bolder appearance. I applied it for the first time at work and immediately one of the girls asked what lipstick color I put on. In the description, it states sheer, but I must admit this lip balm has more of a punch of color than any other lip balm I've tried lately. It's a medium, burgundy color with a very slight amount of shimmer. Above is the "Garnet Star" Lip Balm swatch. The flavor is "Pomegranate", but I didn't notice much flavor at all, definitely more color and moisture than flavor.
The key ingredients are:
• Organic Sunflower Seed Oil
• Organic Beeswax
• Organic Coconut Oil
• Organic Castor Seed Oil
• Candelilla Wax
• Aroma (Organic Flavor)
• Mica
• Titanium Dioxide
• Iron Oxide
• Vitamin E
• Rosemary Extract
