Alright my fellow lip balm junkies and Softlips fans: Are you interesting in trying these? If so, will you be pre-ordering or will you wait until they hit stores? I would imagine that they'll soon be available wherever Softlips products are sold in your area!
Thanks again, Alondra, for the great heads-up about this one!
I have not had positive results with SoftLips sticks. They are not moisturizing enough for me. However, I am intrigued by these cubes. I will probably pick up one to test.
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued, but have never been a fan of Soft Lips, so I'll probably pass.
ReplyDeleteI was obsessed with softlips back in college about 8 years ago, but I haven't used it in years as I've found much better alternatives. These cubes are probably just a marketing scheme to keep up with eos spheres, but I have to admit they ARE cute.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I don't know. I may wait and see what the reviews are first.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one that is slightly disappointed that the whole ice cube thing didnt translate into an 'icy' cooling formula? I totally would have purchased if it had the menthol cooling thing going on.

ReplyDeleteI'm the exact opposite meaning, if they don't have menthol which irritates me, I'm all over these!
DeleteInteresting. I love pretty much anything vanilla bean-scented, so I may have to try that one. :)
ReplyDeleteSeems like their answer to EOS!
ReplyDeleteI think I'll pass on these since they are expensive for so little product and wouldn't fit in my pocket.
ReplyDeleteI am so obsessed with lip balms! Sadly, they don't ship outside the US but maybe that is a good thing because there are hundreds of great ones on there!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fan of the original SoftLips as I don't find them to be too moisturizing. However, I'd try these if I find a good drugstore sale.
ReplyDeleteI've had a serious Softlips addiction since the 90's and already pre-ordered the cube cause I just had to.
ReplyDeleteNever liked Softlips, although that Vanilla Bean one looks kinda tempting. But really, is this not an EOS knockoff??!! I mean, two of the flavors it comes in are Pomegranate Blueberry and Sweet Mint! I'll pass.
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chemical sunscreen!!!!! Why????? Bleargh! The pretty cubes! Oh! The humanity! *weeping*
ReplyDeleteI love Softlips and find that it IS very hydrating for my wintery, chapped lips. So, I would give these a try. I hope I can find them easily. I'd like to try Fresh Mint.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to do this on packaging alone. I've only bought the originals at biglots and still felt dry. I rarely go on packaging but when something shrinks I feel like I need it.
ReplyDeleteI actually like them they moisturize my lips 👄 more than eos. I will definitely buy them again. The packaging is definitely a plus!
