"...And It Was All Yellow"

Okay, so I gave the title away.  The artist is still unknown, unless you know, but how would we know if you know unless you COMMENT below (that rhymed)!

Along with the EOS products I purchased last week, I also got some Starbursts Original from Walgreens (on sale of course).  My main problem with the original flavors of Starbursts is that they do not follow the public's opinion.  Out of the four flavors, cherry, orange, lemon, and strawberry, lemon is obviously the least liked flavor.  Normally, the bags are so disproportionate that the lemon count is unbearable.  I have experienced this plenty of times in the past and decided to document this by opening a fresh bag and tallying the amount of Starbursts of each flavor.  I sorted them and gave them numbers...it was kind of fun.  

Yes.  I really did.
Unfortunately, my great theory that the factory producers put no consideration into the percentage of each flavor placed into each bag does not hold true for this test subject. But, I still found something that could be improved. In my opinion, the likability for the original flavor of Starbursts is as follows: strawberrycherryorange, and lemon at. the. very. end.  As the data shows, lemon takes up 31% (I had to add some math in order to convince myself I was doing something productive).  But 31%, that's almost 2/3 *fraction alert*.  That's really uncalled for, it's the worst flavor in my opinion.  Even my favorite flavor comes in third with 25%.  In a perfect bag of Starbursts, this would be a great percentage, encouraged actually.  But nothing is perfect =[  However, is it too much to ask the people behind Starbursts to slip a few more of the strawberries and lose a couple of the lemons here and there?  

Do you agree?  Which flavor do you like the most?  I won't judge...but I might smirk.

"Whatcha Know 'Bout Me?" EOS Lip Balm and Shaving Cream Review

If you know what song the above in quotation marks is from, comment below!  By knowing this I also hope you realize that song does not directly relate to my topic, but still, it's close enough.

Last week at Walgreens, they had a GREAT sale on EOS lip balm and shaving cream.  Buy 2 for $2 (after cash register rewards).  But yeah, I bought four lip balms and two shaving creams.  I am sort of obsessed with sales, but I can always take them back.  The flavors I got were Summer Fruit and Honeymelon Honeydew in the lip balms, and Vanilla and Lavender for the shaving creams.

First off, the smells are great, they are not overpowering (a problem I have with Burt's Bees products).  Both the lip balms and the shaving creams are very moisturizing and are long lasting.  However, with the shaving creams...They say you don't need a whole lot, but conscientiously, I feel like I'm more likely to cut myself.  But you can definitely get away with just a little bit and still have long lasting moisture.

Bottom line: Great product for the price I paid.  I don't think I would have purchased this at the regular price ($3.49 for lip balm and $2.29 at Walgreens), it's a little expensive for my taste.  Honestly, I'll probably stay with the products I already have, and if they go on sale again, I don't mind repurchasing them =]

Tell me what you think about the product!!!
