Review: My Lip Stuff lip balm in Cat Pee

Yes isn't it AWFUL? I admit I absolutely loathe the image I'll be pasting something over that cat's ass. I mean that's not even where cats pee FROM.

But I don't hate the balm, nosiree. Nope the balm is wonderful. A lovely citrus cocktail that smells like a more lemony-limey 7up. Unlike the other flavours by My Lip Stuff I've tried it doesn't taste sweet at all. Faintly citrusy, but not much in the flavour department which is fine.

I also think they've reformulated the balm because this one's firmer, more emollient - you feel like it's staying on rather than a faint film of oil just smeared around. I think it's also a touch more hardy in our weather I may roadtest this one in my handbag. Right now it's sitting on my desk as something refreshing to use in moments of writer's block.

If you're looking for a great affordable (only RM12) [edited NOT vegan, contains BEESWAX] and organic lipbalm and love citrus flavours... and can ignore that wretched lable... Cat Pee is the balm for you.

Thanks to Cynthia of My Lip Stuff Malaysia for the recommendation and the free balm to try! I doubt I'd ever have brought myself to buy it without her, now I'll likely repurchase.

Aiyeee. What an awful picture. Find it odd that the balm is called "Cat's Pee" when I know that cats typically avoid all things citrusy.

Lol! Isn't it ironic that a vegan product is named Cat Pee? ;)

Anyway, this sounds good, since I'm always on the lookout for good lipbalms (my purse almost always has more than one tube/tub of lipbalm), so thanks for the rec.

LMAO!! Imma buy it just for the name and the cat's butt :p i'm very glad that they finally have a vegan alternative! I've always avoided My Lip Stuff because the balms contain beeswax. Now I can hop on the bandwagon!
* What's with the link to Chatterbeads? Her bookmarks look tantalizing...

Eeek oh no connie, I don't know why i was under the impression it was vegan. I just checked and it DOES contain beeswax. I have to go correct the earlier post. sorry babe blame it on the stress, me gone maaad.

i came across this lipbalm sometime in 2008 and the weird names actually caught my eyes "Cat pee, monkeyfarts, etc etc" hahahha!
anyway, i wasnt so adventurous and went to get raspberry instead. i must say I really like the smell but sadly, the lipbalm melt after I accidentally left it in the car.. :(
otherwise, good stuff tho!
