O My! Goat Milk!

I am obsessed with goat milk beauty products, and when I saw these packs of soaps and lip balm by O My!, I had to have them of course. These products are made here in my current home state of Virginia, which is awesome!
First of all, these soaps smell AMAZING! I bought 3 different packs: Coffee Companion, which comes with Iced Mocha Coffee and Caramel Macchiato, Summer Lovin' which comes with Summer Melon and Kiwi Berries, and Wine Lovers, which comes with White Zinfandel and Merlot. I opened the Coffee Companion pack first and put the Iced Mocha Coffee bar in the shower, and now my whole bathroom smells so much like a fancy cafe that I'm afraid it might attract hipsters. I have Kiwi Berries by the sink and it is delicious, I love any scents that have kiwi in them and this is definitely a very unique and yummy scent, perfect for summer. I haven't opened any of the other soaps yet, but you can pretty much smell them through the shrinkwrap, and they are all amazing. I'll review the rest of the scents I bought when I open them!
Now on to the real reason why I bought these packs: THEY CAME WITH LIP BALM. The Coffee Companion pack came with an Iced Mocha Coffee lip balm, Summer Lovin' had Orange Sorbet, and Wine Lovers had Sangria.
I don't like coffee, but I love to smell other people's coffee, and this balm smells like a freshly made iced vanilla latte. It's a very strong scent, which some people don't like, but I personally love that in a lip balm. It has a super yummy vanilla coffee flavor, I swear you even get a hint of bitter 'coffee' taste. This flavor is really cool, I didnt think it would like it because I thought it would taste and smell like straight-up coffee, but it's awesome.
This one is now in my top 5 favorites of all 500+ lip balms I own. I'm a sucker for citrus and creamy orange flavors, and this one is insanely good. It smells like a melted Dreamcicle and I love it. This one doesn't have a flavor on the lips so much as the coffee flavor did, it's sort of a light cream flavor, but you can still smell melted Dreamcicle super strong when it's on your face.
Of the three, this is my least favorite scent, but that's just because I'm a Sangria hater. It's by no means a bad scent, it's very unique and very Sangria. It has a slight 'soapy' aspect to the scent, but it's still pretty good. It really doesn't have much a flavor, even less than Orange Sorbet does, but you can smell it when it's on your lips, it's pretty strong. Even though it's my least favorite of these, I still really like it!
These lip balms are incredibly moisturizing and make your lips soooo silky smooth. The balm is very soft in the tube and applies very smoothly. The packaging is adorable with a little goat face on it, along with the flavor name and a list of ingredients. I would absolutely love to get all of the flavors, and if I do I will definitely be reviewing them all!

Revo Summer 2015 Lip Balms!

I've been obsessed with finding and collecting all the Revo flavors since their original summer line came out in Walgreens last year. Their most recent collection is the five Summer 2015 flavors, which includes Pink Lemonade, Cherry Cola, Pina Colada, Cotton Candy, and Orange Mango. The balms in this collection are not in their normal smooth spherical matte plastic packaging, but are shiny and have what I can only think to describe as 'ridges'. They're similar to the diamond shaped Revo balms that are sold at CVS. Orange Mango balm from the Summer '15 collection compared to Pumpkin Spice in the usual Revo packaging
FLAVOR REVIEW!
Pink Lemonade smells pretty much identical to the Lemon Ice flavor to me. It's slightly more tart, more like a "glass of lemonade" type scent, whereas I feel like the Lemon Ice balm smells like straight up lemon Pledge (but I still love it). It's good, and the scent is pretty strong and on the lips it has a nice sweet lemonade flavor.
Cherry Cola is just like a freshly opened can of Cherry Coke or Wild Cherry Pepsi, you can almost hear the 'fizz' when you twist it open (not really but it is delicious). I have a few Lipsmacker balms and lip glosses that are cherry cola flavored and this is way better than any of those. It doesn't have any of that weird artificial or chemical scent/taste that others do. It has a nice flavor, like yummy Cherry Pepsi residue without the stickyness and calories.
Pina Colada This one is probably my favorite, not because I like Pina Colada, but because it has the strongest and most natural scent and flavor. This thing smells like coconut milk and fresh pineapple juice, and is definitely the most appropriate summer balm in this collection. On the lips it has a nice pineapple flavor, like those weird clear lifesavers that I only recently found out were pineapple flavored. Yum!
Cotton Candy I totally expected this to be my favorite flavor because I always love anything cotton candy, but to me this just doesn't accurately portray the cavity-inducing bags of goodness that are cotton candy. The scent is absolutely not bad at all, it just isn't what cotton candy smells like to me. You know when you make a pitcher of watermelon Kool-aid, and you pour the packet of powder into the bottom, and then dump the cup of sugar on top, and this big dusty cloud of watermelon-sugar dust flies up and hits you in the face? That's exactly what this smells like to me, and I love it. They should have named this balm Watermelon Koolaid Sugar Dust, which would be very appropriate for summer. I still love this one.
Orange Mango Mangoes are my favorite fruit, but I usually don't like anything mango flavored, especially because it's almost always paired with either peach or orange. That does not sound like it should be a bad thing, but something about those fruits mixing in artificial flavors just makes them taste and smell awful. I do actually like this flavor, but not because it's necessarily 'good' or an accurate mango flavor, but because it smells exactly like that bright orange kids liquid Motrin medicine. I love that smell and flavor, I could do shots of Motrin if you let me, I just think it's delicious. I can see how most normal people would not like this flavor, it's pretty medicinal, but you should still try it, especially if you're a Motrin fan like myself.
That's it for the Revo Summer 2015 Collection! Overall, I really like these flavors! Revo has very excellent and unique flavors, and I will continue to buy every single seasonal and holiday collection they release! I have almost all of the Revo flavors, so if there are any you want to know about let me know!
