***GIVEAWAY CLOSED***
Well, as you have probably noticed I do not have a shortage of lip balms in my house. I do have a sister who is crazy about lip balms too, so I make sure to pass on some of my goodies to her. My daughter is also really fond of these little sticks of balm too...and LOVES to put on like two or three inches of it when she is given the chance! As a Carmex Blog Squad Member, I am privileged to bring you new and exciting products that Carmex has recently released and they are NEVER a disappointment! So, this next review is brought to you by Carmex and is featuring their brand new Vanilla Twist and Lime Twist Ultra Moisturizing Lip Balms!
Carmex has been one of my favorite brands to use lately mainly because I love the tingly sensation that is present after using their products. I know it sounds odd, but it is almost like I know the product is working for me and actually doing something other than sitting on my lips. (Just don't leave them in a hot place...like the car...or they will melt. Yep! Personal experience talking here. LOL!)
Before I continue on with my review of Carmex's outstanding products, I wanted to share a bit more about this company from their website...
Carmex® lip balm was invented in 1937 by Alfred Woelbing, literally on the family stovetop. For the next 20 years, Alfred and his wife made Carmex by hand and poured it into the familiar yellow-capped jars.
Eventually production moved out of the Woelbing home and into a rented facility in Wauwatosa , Wisconsin , where it remained until the move in 1975 to its current site in Franklin , Wisconsin .
Carma Labs employs about 100 people and is still owned and operated by the family: Alfred's grandsons Erik and Paul Woelbing. The Woelbing stove is now used for cooking things the family can actually eat.
What a great beginning!! I have really come to recognize the traditional Carmex brand by the yellow capped jars...especially the little tins of balm. However, I didn't actually TRY this brand until several months ago and am disappointed that I didn't try them sooner!!
For this review I was sent a snazzy little package of goodies...a full-sized, colorful picnic blanket and Carmex's brand new lip balms...Vanilla and Lime Twist!
One of the things that I most love about these balms is the fact that they are soft. You don't have to rub and rub them on your lips to get something...it is instant moisture. My most favorite of these two flavors has to be the Lime. What a great flavor these little sticks have!!! Again, I also love the tingly sensation and moisturizing feel that is added to my lips.
The picnic blanket is HUGE! I love the colors and actually, I have been looking for a good outdoor blanket to use for my family. This year at fireworks we were all crammed on a little blanket...it was pretty uncomfortable. Now that I have this handy blanket that folds up compactly I am good to go!
Oh, and the bottom side is like a vinyl/plastic too so you don't have to worry about shaking dirt and grass off when you pick up your blanket. I LOVE it! :)
Vanilla and Lime Twist Lip Balms can be found at Walmart, CVS, and Walgreens. Check out your stores today...these are flavors you WON'T want to miss out on!
So, in my opinion...Carmex Vanilla and Lime Twist Lip Balms are pretty fantastic! I love how they feel on my lips and the moisture that is infused after I use them. The picnic blanket is wonderful...perfect for those summer get togethers and beach parties. I am definitely a fan of Carmex and these new balms as well.
