Ben + Jerry’s Starts a Makeup Line

Ben and Jerry's Lip Balm We discover a lot of odd news at Fashionista, but sometimes it’s just unreal - like the new lip gloss from Ben & Jerry’s.


Made with all-natural ingredients, the balm comes in a tiny pot that’s a perfect replica of the B&J Peanut Butter Cup carton.

The lip balm is available internationally - unlike the actual Peanut Butter Cup ice cream, which you can only scoop in America - and also comes in collector’s flavors like Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, though you’ll have to sift through eBay to find it.

Personally, we’d rather Ben & Jerry’s restore the best flavor ever - vanilla chocolate chunk - than start churning out cosmetics, but oh well. Perhaps they were feeling left out by the Dr. Pepper Lip Smackers and the new Jelly Belly fragrances, which are equally weird.

This is very odd news. I wish they would bring back peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough. I haven't had that since I was 6.

Picked up Chocolate Fudge Brownie in Stockholm. I like it, but it feels a little "pro-ana" to replace ice cream with lip balm...still...totally yummy!

Hey, don't hate on Dr. Pepper LipSmackers! I bought it on a whim once and its become the lipbalm that I keep in my pocket. Its just shiny enough and provides a little bit of red tint, so don't knock it til you've tried it!

Ew. Ben and Jerry's makes awful ice cream. If their lip gloss is as sweet as their dessert, it would probably make me hurl.

This might seem strange to me if I didn't know they were owned by Unilever.

Maybe it's just me, but I really don't like for my cosmetics to taste or smell like food, it's too weird and synthetic for me.
