Review: KISStixx?!

Okay, I saw these in a store, looked up their website, and HAD to order some! Mostly because of the corny movie they had, but I thought the flavors looked cool, too!

Their ad:



Supposedly, you're supposed to put one flavor on your lips, one flavor on your partner's. Then you kiss to "mix" the flavors for "one amazing kiss!" I ordered 4 different flavors (it ended up being about 20 dollars) and shipping was very quick!



The "Stixx" arrived in a padded mailing envelope. Definitely decent for the contents and size.

My four flavors (from left to right): Peaches and Cream, Strawberry Daquiri and Pina Colada (still don't know how to do accents on blogger), Fire and Ice, Strawberry and Chocolate.

I got out and tried on Strawberry and Chocolate, since I LOVE chocolate. Inside the package were to "Stixx" labeled with "Kissstix" and the flavor.


They went on very smooth and creamy. Unfortunately, I don't have anyone to kiss...and I'm not bold enough to ambush people with chapstick and kisses. So I put both on my own lips. The flavor was pretty good, not terribly strong but nice. The chocolate didn't taste as chocolaty as I'd like but I've come to expect that from chapsticks. There was a bit of a chapstick taste, too. I think the best part about these Stixx is how they feel on my lips. They're not oily but nicely creamy and feel very moisturizing! The experience might have been better if I'd been kissing someone...probably would. ^_^

Overall: 3.5/5
Shipping: 5/5
Price: 4/5 (a little pricey for chapstick)
Quality: 3/5

UPDATE: I just tried the pina colada/straberry daquiri combo. Now, this doesn't affect the quality score because the taste still isn't strong enough to be "amazing." BUT these Stixx smell AMAZING! I could wear just one of these alone, together they smell so tantalizing right there under my nose! I almost believe I'm holding a strawberry colada under my nose and inhaling deeply! I'll add more updates as I try the other flavors.

UPDATE 2: Just tried peaches/cream. The peaches Stixx is probably the tastiest (in terms of degree of taste) one I have tried yet. Putting the cream on with it definitely tones it down, but it's still pretty good. Peaches smells great, cream smell is very subtle.
