Vintage Sister Summer Lip Balm Collection


Why Vintage Sister you do surprise me this year with brand new flavors of your popular gloss. Year to year flavors normally come and go but are in constant rotation without too much change in the works which is why the Muse was ever so surprised and delighted that this year Vintage Sister choose to do something a little bit different instead of hauling out much beloved classics from last year!

Jump for it!

With all the talk of Fall Collections 2009 isn't it nice to rewind and discuss something Summer-like? Vintage Sister Summer Lip Balm Collection captured my attention with it's new line of interesting flavors this year. Six new flavors for under $3 bucks each make these balms highly affordable and crazy cute for tucking into your purse! Although old flavors are back like Raspberry Lemonade new flavors also make an appearance like Circus Peanut!

Vintage Sister Pucker Up! Set Review

Steal yourself a beauty budget trio of Vintage Sister Lip Balms all housed in a cute little tin.




If you're more sour than sweet this set is sure to please!

$12 USD (plus a mere $1.85 USD for shipping) will get you three of Vintage Sister's cult favorite lip balms all housed in a cute sliding tin. Each balm brings both the sour and the sweet!

The Muse is all for golden oldies which is why she's been a big Vintage Sister fan for years now. Their uber cute balms bring back the childhood memories of cute lip balms I used to tote around with me when I was a mere girl. The set includes three flavors all of which are housed in retro style sliding tins. Slide the tin back to reveal a heavy moisturizing balm that's dosed with plenty of of good taste or in this case plenty of sour to make your lips curl up in a puckering pout!



The set includes Sour Cherry, Sour Lime, and Sour Pink Lemonade. Sour Cherry is a pink transparent balm that tastes and smells like the real thing. Plenty of cherry with just the right tart sweetness that's sure to please. Sour Lime has plenty of lime flavor with a bit of a fizz a la 7up or Sprite but it also has that tart, sour kick! Sour Pink Lemonade isn't too sour but has plenty of sweet sugary lemon that will remind you of a warm Summer day!










Vintage Sister balms have a hard texture but once warmed up they'll glide onto lips and leave behind plenty of shine. They'll heal up chapped lips and keep lips moist all while tasting and smelling delicious!

Vintage Sister Puck Up Lip Balm Set is a personal favorite of mine and a great beauty budget pick!

Loves it and Muse Approves it for purchase!

Vintage Sister Elbow Grease Review

Oooo the weather is warming up...kinda...sorta...ok, not really but soon it'll be warmer and you'll want to have picture perfect knees, elbows, and legs. You'll be wearing shorts, you'll be showing your arms, and tons of skin will be on display for all to admire or if you're wobbly like the Muse you keep those bits under cover hehe!

You're so NOT wanting to have crusty, flaky, dry elbows, knees, and legs right? Don't panic. Solution ahead!


I'm a big fan of Lush Massage Bars as I think they do my skin a world of good especially the dry, ickier parts of my body but I'm all for an alternative that's cute and sweet smelling!

That's where Vintage Sister Elbow Grease comes into play! It gives me a bit of a sweeter option with kawaii packaging. What's Elbow Grease anyway? Elbow Grease is simply a solid moisturizing bar that you can rub on your dry skin to smooth it up. You take the soap shaped bar and rub it on rough elbows or knees or anywhere else dry skin is cropping up and as your body temperature rises the bar will melt slightly into a creamy, dreamy moisturizing treatment.




Vintage Sister steps up the game and makes Elbow Grease extra cute and travel friendly by housing it in a sliding tin case. Slide the tin open and pop the bar out for use, after you're done pop the bar back in and slide the tin closed!



Elbow Grease is $10 USD a tin and comes in six fun scents! I have mine scented in Carribean Fruit which has touches of tropical orange, cherry, coconut, and pineapple! It's a combo of sweet, tropical fruits that's sure to get you in the mood for Spring!

Each bar will last around a three to four weeks with daily use. It works fabulously well at making skin extra smooth and particularly makes your legs feel wonderfully silky and short ready for the Summer!

All in all I'm still a big lover of Lush Massage Bars as they perform the very same way but I really like the fun, quirky style of Vintage Sister which is what makes Elbow Grease such a hit for me.

Snag some today at www.vintagesister.com

Shipping is very reasonable as well ranging from $1.99-$2.99 USD or less within the US and $6 USD and up for International Orders.

Loves it! Works a treat and getting the Muse all soft and silky again!

Tried it?

Tasty Lipbalms

There's nothing I love more than tasty lipbalms!

When I want something sweet and tasty for my lips I look no further then Vintage Sister's website! Truly the site is a feast for the lips!

I can't really recall how long I've been purchasing balms from Vintage Sister but it's been quite a few years and I'm never disappointed in the quality, selection, and customer service!

During Season change and Holidays they offer a tin of lip balm trios and this summer like any other year they are offering a cute tin of yummie treats for your lips!

This year's trio is entitled Bahama Mama and includes Blue Hawaii, Island Delight, and Strawberry Daiquiri! Oooooo! My lips are tingling already!



If you aren't interested in any of the tasty summer treats you might want to try a few of my personal favorites!

Mmmm tastes just like the real thing without the calories of course!


Sweet!


Sadly it's not available year round but it'll be back for Halloween and Thank God for that! I'm running way low!


Possibly my favorite of all my Vintage Sister balms! I'm always reaching for this!


Such a classic one!


Sounds twisted but it's yummie as sin!


At $3.95 each you can afford to enjoy all the flavors and $12 for a tin of trios will get you a nice healthy indulgence for your lips!


Vintage Sister isn't all about balms! They do some very cute bath and body items as well! Personally I haven't tried anything but the balms and believe me they are worth it plus your husband or boyfriend will thank you ;)
