Good for your lips (and for your hips)

I’m not sure which will make you want to buy Ganache for Lips more – their amazing products or their inspiring story. I think when you add them together you’ll have so many reasons to purchase these that you won’t be able to resist.

Let me tell you first about the products. Ganache for Lips is a company that creates gourmet lip balms. The chocolate flavors contains real chocolate from Scharffen Berger, a company that is award winning for their products. The lip balms contain quality ingredients like Shea Butter, Vitamin E and Apricot Kernel Oil; is natural with preservatives like Vitamin E and Rosemary Extract; there are no petroleum products in these.

The flavors are just amazing:

• Chocolate Orange
• Chocolate Raspberry
• Chocolate Mint
• Chocolate Mousse
• Chocolate Hazelnut
• Chocolate Marzipan
• Lemon Mousse
• Vanilla Mousse
• Mocha Latte

I’m not sure you could get more delicious than that. There’s one for all tastes. Including mine! I always say how I dislike fragranced products but I’ve come a long way and Ganache for Lips has helped me. I’ve realized it’s the type of fragrance or scent that turns me off. Products that have natural ingredients without fake smells and tastes work for me.

I have 3 of these and it’s hard to pick a favorite because they are all amazing. Do I pick Chocolate Mint or Chocolate Orange today? No, I don’t feel like chocolate so how about Lemon Mousse. No maybe it’s my favorite Chocolate Orange after all. And the decisions go on. They are all moisturizing and delicious. You know how you want something sweet after a meal to just finish it off? Well try one of these instead. I swear it satisfies that little bit of a sweet tooth that I have. Just read this description for Chocolate Mint and tell me you can resist! Chocolate Mint: A decadent lip conditioner made with the best ingredients available. Pure Scharffen Berger Unsweetened Chocolate, Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil and the perfect amount of peppermint oil to give it a chocolate mint kick!

These condition your lips because there’s no waxy feel to them. Now to sweeten the pot even more – these are only $3.75 to $4 each depending on where you buy them! You’d expect the price to be much higher for such quality.

Here’s the other half of the story – all about Patricia West, the founder of Ganache for Lips. Patricia was recovering from breast cancer and wanted to create an all natural product for women like her. If you’ve gone through chemo or have a friend that has, you know that your lips are always dry. She wanted something that would protect and heal lip tissue. Since she had studied aromatherapy she knew how important a product like Peppermint Oil would be to help combat the afternoon fatigue that comes with the cure. She also was inspired to add natural cocoa extract to improve the balms. She launched the line in 2004 and while still small, has become pretty mighty.

Ganache for Lips was kind enough to send 3 lip balms for a contest that will be announced later today.
