NEW eos Body Lotions in Berry Blossom and Delicate Petals

First up, reader @mizzzmakeup on Instagram spotted these new eos body lotions at her local Target this week and kindly shared this pic. The packaging here is a big change from the original eos Hand & Body Lotions (click here for my review from back in 2011 if you want to see what the old style bottles looked like). And I think this new packaging is more in line with the eos lip balm spheres and the hand lotions, don't you? 

I don't know if this is a formula change as well as a packaging change, but I did notice that the old-style lotions are all out of stock on the eos website so, either way, it looks like these are going to take their place. As of the time of this post, these new body lotions are not yet on the Target website, but @mizzzmakeup confirmed that they were around $7-$8 each at her local Target.

The Softlips Cube Limited Edition Hello Kitty Collection Has Landed in Stores!

Since my review of the Softlips Cube Limited Edition Hello Kitty Collection back in June (CLICK HERE for all of the details about this collection including my review of each flavor), I know that many of you have been eagerly awaiting a sighting. So I'm delighted to give you some good news today, thanks to several readers!

Reader @princesspitaya on Instagram spotted Passion Fruit at her local Super Target this week for $3.49! Also, I've heard from a few of you who have found Apple and Passion Fruit at Fred Meyer in the Pacific Northwest, so they are definitely starting to pop up--hopefully you'll be able to find them at CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens (very) soon. And if you can't wait for these to pop up locally, you can purchase Apple and Passion Fruit now, directly from the Mentholatum (owners of Softlips) company store HERE for $5 each (free shipping on orders $35+). 

As I mentioned in my review, the third flavor in this collection, Strawberry Banana, isn't due to release until September, followed by a special holiday 4-pack in November that will contain one additional "mystery flavor." 

Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to let me know about these sightings and also the web store info. I really appreciate it!

Update Regarding Softlips Cube Limited Edition Hello Kitty Collection

Softlips Cube Limited Edition Hello Kitty Collection

(retail: $3.49 each, 0.23 oz.)

If you caught my review of the new Softlips Cube Limited Edition Hello Kitty Collection (click here if you missed it), then you know that this collection was originally scheduled to hit drug and mass retailers in July. But if you started looking for them last month, then you probably know that didn't happen.

Thanks to several of you for letting me know that Softlips confirmed on Twitter that the release date for this collection was pushed back to late August. Which means this collection should start popping up at retailers in a few weeks. So please keep your eyes peeled, and of course you know I would love to hear if you find these out "in the wild"! 

PS: Don't forget that just Apple and Passionfruit were scheduled to release first, and then Strawberry Banana is supposed to release in September (but I'm not sure if that's going to change given the delay; perhaps all three flavors will be available late August?). And then in November, there will be special 4-pack gift set that will contain all three of these flavors, plus a new "mystery flavor." The 4-pack will retail for $12.99 at retailers nationwide.

Coming Soon: Softlips + Sanrio Hello Kitty Lip Balm Collaboration

I'm delighted to let my fellow lip balm fanatics and Hello Kitty lovers know that there will be an official Softlips + Sanrio Hello Kitty Limited Edition Lip Balm Collection coming this July!

I can only reveal some preliminary information at this time (official photos and additional info to come, I promise!). This collection will feature lip balms in a "sleek, colorful, glass-like cube" and there will be two flavors to start, with some really fun additional flavors released a few months after the initial debut. The first two flavors will be Apple and Passion Fruit. 

Again, I will have much more info for you about this collaboration once we get closer to July, so stay tuned!

Review: Softlips Cube Spring 2015 Limited Edition Duo

Press Sample

A few weeks ago, I shared some press info about the new Spring 2015 Limited Edition Cube Duo from Softlips, and today I have a review for you! Softlips sent me this duo for review, but it should now be popping up at mass retailers nationwide (if you haven't seen it already). Let's take a closer look...

 Softlips Cube Spring 2015 Limited Edition Duo

SPF15 Pomegranate Blueberry & SPF15 Peach Mango 

(suggested retail price: $6.49, 0.23 oz. each)

Pomegrante Blueberry is a permanent flavor, but Peach Mango is a limited edition flavor available only in this duo. Both flavors contain SPF15 and both lip balms are full-size (not minis). 

Softlips Spring 2015 Limited Edition Cube Duo

You know I love the Softlips Cubes (click here for my review), so when the folks at Softlips let me know about this new limited edition flavor for Spring 2015, I had to share it with you immediately:

 Softlips Spring 2015 Limited Edition Cube Duo

Pomegranate Blueberry & Peach Mango

(retail: $6.49)

The Softlips Spring 2015 Limited Edition Cube Duo contains Pomegranate Blueberry (permanent flavor) as well as the brand new, limited edition Peach Mango. These are both full-size Cubes and the suggest retail price for this duo is $6.49. 

This duo is scheduled to hit stores this month (March 2015) and it will be available at mass retailers nationwide.
