Too Much Kissing Under the Mistletoe? MLS is Serious Relief for Chapped Lips!

My Lip Stuff, also known as MLS, is a small company run by a single woman out of her home in Delaware -- but don't let that fool you.  Brea manages to make lip balms (and other beauty products) that are skin-, environment- and animal-friendly (vegan options available!) in over 400 scents and flavors while she raises a young, “special needs” child – all by herself.

If the intoxicating aroma of pink cake (one of my favorite MLS scents, as well as a company best-seller), pumpkin crunch cake, or strawberries and champagne being, literally, right under your nose all day isn't enough reason to give these balms a try, their indulgent texture, superior moisturizing abilities and phenomenal shine should seal the deal.

Just a sampling of some of My Lip Stuff’s amazing selection of scents…

  • ALMOND CROISSANTS
  • BLACKBERRY BUTTERCREAM
  • BLACKFOREST CAKE
  • BUTTERED POPCORN
  • CHEESE PIZZA
  • GUMMY BEAR
  • JALAPENO (This one, as well as HEARTBROKEN, makes an awesome lip plumper!)
  • MANDARIN SPICE MUFFINS
  • MARGARITA
  • ORANGE CREAMSICLE
  • OREO CHEESECAKE
  • RED HOT CANDY FLUFF
  • RIBBON CANDY
  • TRAIL MIX
  • WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA NUT
 

For about two bucks a pop, it’s easy to fall in love with these balms! And, for just a little more (cookie?) dough, you can have Brea create custom labels or scents (she’s done custom labels for me on a number of occasions, and her creations are always amazing! She doesn’t quit until she comes up with the perfect image!), add Stevia (so your balms are naturally sweetened), partake of fun holiday creations, support a number of charitable causes (MLS donated over $600.00 to charities like PETA last year alone) or enjoy fun themed balms, like Booze Balms, f’undies’ balms or even horoscope balms.

Plus, all her balms come in either a tube or a pot, so you can choose the application method that suits you best.

Craving color?

MLS offers lip tints for super shine and just a hint of natural looking color. Want to boost the shine factor? Check out their lip glosses, available in the same 400+ flavors as their balms, with or without tint.

Forget chunky, gooey, slimy, get-all-funky-in-the-corners-of-your-lips-after-an-hour lip balms of the past -- MLS balms have a luxurious, silky texture, that allows free movement of your lips, ease of wear under or over lipstick or gloss, and a good-bye kiss your sweetie will actually thank you for!

If that's not enough, Brea is constantly adding new, seasonal or occasional flavors, which is a fabulous reason to become a Balm of the Month member -- you get first crack at her new flavors and delicious experiments! Each month BOTM club members receive a brand new lip balm in a scent unavailable to the rest of the lip balm loving community. Want to give a gift that keeps on giving? This is an awesome way to do it!

 

MLS also offers stuff for men and kids, as well as fantastic room sprays, body butters and bath salts.

 

 Imagine slathering on a lush, whipped body butter in Cookies & Cream or Vanilla Raspberry next time you step out of the shower! Or, try a body butter stick in Cinnamon Roll, Pink Cake or Brea’s amazing Healing scent next time your skin is parched.

Feeling frisky? Check out a Mixed Mystery Balm!

Each one is a surprise, but it gets better – the surprises never end (until you get to the bottom of the tube)! When a batch of balms are made and there’s leftover product that won’t fill a whole tube, it’s paired up with other bits of balm to create an ever changing tube of lip balm…or, a Mixed Mystery! One swipe, it’s chocolate…next time, it’s bubblegum! And, since nobody knows exactly which scents go into what tube, guessing the scent of each layer just adds to the fun.

Just want to sample MLS? Click on the Samples section of the website to get any of Brea’s creations, in a full sized tube, at a reduced shipping rate.

Or, spend $15.00 or more (before shipping) and get a lip balm (Brea’s choice) absolutely free! Plus, if you join My Lip Stuff’s Live Journal community, you can stay updated on all the contests, freebies and other special events Brea hosts year ‘round.

Also, before you click away, check out the “About MLS” page, which features some wicked cool ideas on how to recycle your lip balm tubes once the balm is gone!

Who ever thought lip balm and crayons could have so much in common?

Still not enough?

Don’t know where to start? Some of my favorite scents include:

  • Pink Cake – just an all around delicious scent! This is definitely my recommendation for anyone new to MLS, or who simply hasn’t tried it!
  • Chocolate Mints – this one is a lifesaver when I’m dieting! ‘Tis the season – might want to stock up!
  • Blackforest Cake – chocolate, cherry and cake…YUM!
  • Caramel Popcorn – just like one of those giant holiday tins!
  • Dog Poop – icky name, amazing scent! Caramel and coffee!
  • Night Time – the perfect bedtime balm!
  • Jack Frost – cherry and peppermint! A fabulous winter blend!
  • Cat Pee – another gross name, but don’t let that stop you! The perfect summer citrus scent!
  • Pink Grapefruit and Raspberry – a twist on strawberry/raspberry lemonade! Sweet berries and tart citrus!
  • Pumpkin Crunch Cake – spicy pumpkin and cake, perfect for fall!
  • Winter Cake – peppermint cake, confectioner’s delight!
Having a bit of a lipstick/lipgloss/lip balm fetish, I'm always a bit skeptical when a new lip product comes to my attention. But I've been a loyal patron of MLS for over four years now, and have no intention of quitting my addiction any time soon!
If you're tired of the same old bubblegum and peppermint flavored balms, or if the texture of most lip balms makes you cringe, give Brea and MLS a try!

Most of those flavors sound great and I want to try them. But really, what's the deal with "Cat Pee" and "Dog Poop"? Why would she give such gross names to a product meant to put on your lips? It's just so bizarre.
