Some history: my first tube of Crazy Rumors was from Back to Eden in Portland, Oregon, where I picked up the orange juice for me, raspberry sherbet for VM, and banana split for someone fab. We were hooked instantly: creamy, non-greasy, long-lasting, and vegan; what else could you be looking for in a chapstick?
The orange juice remains my favorite; the flavor is delicious and refreshing and I swear I can smell it all day.
I also really like the mystery flavor, but I can't guess what it is. I thought I knew, but the folks at Crazy Rumors kindly told me that I was, well, completely wrong. VM's second favorite is orange creamsicle, which she also enjoys as an ice cream.
I recently bought one of their Hibiskiss lip colors and was very impressed by the color. It doesn't stay on quite as long as the regular lip balm (which is a ridiculously long time), but the understated tint is worth the necessity of infrequent reapplication. I've found breeze to be a great neutral, while tropical offers a deeper pop of color.
The newest addition to my line-up of Crazy Rumors personal faves is the afore mentioned leaping bunny plum apricot bunny balm, for which 50% of the purchase is donated to the Leaping Bunny Program.
If you're in need of a new lip balm/lip gloss/chapstick, I'd recommend you give this great, vegan company a try.
If,
It's been two years and I haven't bought another brand since. I've also lost count of how many other people I've caused to become addicted; there's my friend who's all about mint bubble, my other friend who swears by mint chocolate (edit: who has since informed me that his addiction was independent), VM who is a raspberry sherbert, but won't turn any flavor down outright... You might be next; which flavor will you be?
