All things in the mouth and on the mouth - choc & lipbalm

Now let us talk about chocolate.  And Cadbury's springs to mind.  Their slabs have always been sublime .... and then came their Oreo slab.  I bought one and cried for a week ... not from toothache but from the emotion of discovering something so decadently wicked and delicious.  And then ....... I have since childhood been a great fan of that granule candy that you put into your mouth and then it makes that popping sound and sensation in your mouth. This is something that has made the subject of divorce raise its head in our house each time I do this .... my husband gets a fit. 

So imagine my delight when I spotted 2 new slabs released from the Cadbury's fold.  I have only seen them once .... in the Superspar in Queenswood and have not found them in any supermarket since then.  They do not appear to be imports and they were priced at less than the Oreo one, so I assume they are yet to reach other supermarkets ... I hope so. Dairy Milk Marvellous Creations .....The one has little jelly and popping pieces .... yes you bite it and then if you open your mouth it makes that sound ..... and yes I am a grown up woman with 2 kids but man I love it .... and the other one has jellies and little caramel bits.  You have to try it .... sometimes you have to be wicked.  Just have to. 

Then on to the new Lipice release ....available in 4 different "flavours" it is a lipbalm, lipgloss and liptint in one.  The packaging is vivid and bright and it looks very very appealing.  Well named flavours and at R20 it is not that expensive compared to some of their Labello counterparts.  I have only been able to find it at Pharmavalu so far, not even Dischem or Clicks up to yesterday, seemingly because it is still a very new release. 

I went for the luminous orange packaged one .... and got my daughter and I each one. Called Summer Melon, it would give the lightest coral tint to the mouth.   They say "subtle" - which means it is "faint", "understated" but very much there!   I was really disappointed by the "tint" part.  It is a balm yes, although I found that after less than half an hour that feeling had disappeared from my mouth and I had to reapply.  The gloss part is ok, not spectacular but a little glossy.  However the tint was non existent.  It looked like absolutely normal lipice on my mouth.  I found this strange as the Labello tinted one definitely leaves a red or pink stain and a long lasting one at that and the Clicks brand leaves a very distinctive tint of sheer pink and that one in particular is great as a lipbalm.  Their pricing is also very competitive. I kissed the mirror to check the colour.  It was simply a mark on the mirror. Nothing even subtle. 

So it was all things "mouthy" today .... choc and gloss. 

Till tomorrow,
