Carmex Lip Balm Review & Prize Pack Giveaway!

When I received a personal invitation to join the Carmex Blog Squad, I leaped at the opportunity!   Primarily because I’ve been a very long time consumer of Carmex’s lip balms and find their products to be exceptional in relieving my dry, chapped lips. I can remember always having a jar of Carmex around the house when I was kid.  I guess I just adopted the tradition and have grown accustomed to loving their products, because I know they work.

Recently, the company sent me two of their newest items to try: ultra moisturizing Carmex Lime Twist and Carmex Vanilla click sticks.  Both have delicious flavor, SPF 15 (Octinoxate and Oxybenzone) and all of the fantastic moisturizing ingredients of the Carmex lip balm line.  However, these premium lip balms have three additional moisturizers not found in the original line.  The ultra moisturizing formula goes on smooth and makes your lips feel incredibly kissable soft!

The Carmex Lime Twist has a wonderful fresh,  fun flavor and goes on without making your lips feel greasy, oily, or waxy.  The lime is actually very subtle, but it adds just enough flavor and still has the great cool menthol feeling of the original Carmex products.

The Carmex Vanilla Stick lip balm is very lightly flavored and smells soooooooo good!  I know the company  says their products don’t contain any addictive additives, but the camphor and menthol makes your lips feel tingly and the vanilla fragrance is incredibly delightful you just want to keep spreading it on and on and on…you get the picture!

Carmex also threw in a stick of their Moisture Plus lip balm for me to sample.  This stuff is the bomb.  It comes in a stylish,  sleek, slant-tip applicator and is perfect for dropping in your purse and using when your lips need  moisturizing.  I like to use it after applying lipstick to add a little shine for extra pucker power.  It contains Aloe, Vitamin E, and SPF 15 to protect your lips from the sun.  A MUST-HAVE PRODUCT to keep on hand!

The Carmex products are available at Walgreens, Walmart, and CVS.  I know it is rather early to think about the holidays, nevertheless the new click sticks would make great stocking stuffers.  I’m definitely going to stock up on them!

Oh I almost forgot to say that Carmex NEVER tests their products on animals!  That is a BIG PLUS in my book!
