Yankee Candle makes lip balm??

Can you hear my bank account shrieking in the background? Yes, Yankee Candle make lipbalms now. WOOHOO! I adore Yankee Candles and frequently trawl ebay trying to find samplers for our flat, I have about 12 on the go at the moment :( So, when I came across this listing for Yankee lip balms I knew I had to get one. There isn't a great selection of fragrances, I really didn't fancy a Christmas one in June, so I settled for Sweet Strawberry!
How cute is that?! I haven't got the strawberry sampler at the moment so I can't compare the scents unfortunately but I can tell you this smells AMAZING, like strawberry laces. It doesn't taste of them though! The lid is a bit of a pain in the arse to get off the first time, but I love how the packaging looks like the big jars. It's a good size to stick in your handbag and the lid doesn't fall off.
This is after I managed to wrestle off the lid! It's a cherry red, pinky sort of colour in the packaging but goes on pretty much clear. It reminds me a lot of cherry chapstick actually, the consistency and formula are very similar, which I like as I was a cherry chapstick fan before Katy Perry made it "cool" *sigh*. You twist the product up from the bottom which is handy and pretty hygienic, and for £3.99 (free postage) you get 4g of product. Oh and it's SPF 15!
Don't think you can see it properly but the lid has "Yankee Candle" on the top. Too cute. I think these would be good for presents. It's not the most amazing lipbalm I've ever used but it works, smells great and the packaging is adorable. I probably won't buy more than one of these as it's more of a quirky item but I highly recommend you get one for your collection or to give to a friend!

10/10 for the idea, but will not repurchase
