This review was requested by Sandy.
Lord knows I love lip balms that smell like drinks. I don’t drink, so this is almost my way of “getting my drink on”. Instead, I “get my balm on”. Ha..ha..ha.. Anyway, drink balms are awesome.. That is, when they don’t irritate the hell out of your mouth.
PRICE: I can’t find these available anywhere online, but I found them at KMart for a little over $1. I’m going to assume you can find these where you would typically find Wet N Wild products.
PACKAGING: Here we have a .18oz little tub. The entire thing is clear, except for the metallic rim on the screw-on lid. The lid is decorated with the Wet N Wild logo, funky metallic font displaying the product name, and a picture matching the flavor. The bottom has a label with the flavor name, and you can also peel it back to read a list of ingredients printed in tiny font. Not too exciting, but I suppose they have a little more character than some other balms.
TEXTURE/GLIDE: Just so you’re aware, I used my finger to apply this balm. And the glide from finger to lip isn’t too bad. It goes on pretty smooth. The texture is creamy, but kind of thick and feels a little like it’s suffocating my lips. I’ll also mention that almost immediately after I apply it, my lips feel incredibly irritated. Not that burning sensation that you sometimes get from lip plumpers, but an achy, tingly feeling. My lips have never reacted this way to any lip balm (and clearly, I’ve experienced quite a few), and that’s a major red flag.
SMELL/FLAVOR: I only have this in Pina Colada, but it’s available in a wide variety of flavors (seen here). The Pina Colada flavor is slightly coconut-y, a little pineapple-y, and very waxy. I have never sniffed a pina colada that smells at all like this. Very, very ugh. I unfortunately can’t comment on the other flavors, and I regret to inform you that I won’t be buying more to try the others.
LASTING POWER: The lasting power isn’t too bad. About an hour and a half or so. Too long, in my opinion.
INGREDIENTS: I can’t find a list of ingredients anywhere, but you can bet your bottom dollar that it’s not natural.
OVERALL: Awful. Awfulawfulawful. I’m disappointed, because the price is right and it definitely had potential to be something good, but it’s just not. It’s cheap, and cheaply made. Blah. I’ll give it one half for applying nicely. I try to look at the bright side of everything.

Kels, where’s the one I sent you? I did the same exact one, just in Strawberry Daiquiri.

Once I find it in my swamped inbox, I’m going to post it in the comments (unless you’d like to do that?). That way, people can get like two reviews in one. Is that fine? Balmaholic(Quote)
Thanks Kels, but i bought one an i thought they were really great on my lips. They were really smooth and no achy feel. I bought bahama mama and i love the smell and the tiny tint. sandy(Quote)
Sandy, I’m glad you like them! I’m sure I just had a bad reaction to one of the ingredients. Balmaholic(Quote)
I love these!! I bought the Bahama Mama flavor a few weeks ago and loving the taste it has on my lips. Thanks for posting this. sakura hasegawa(Quote)
