Giveaway: Carmex Skincare {CLOSED}

Now that we are in full-on fall with winter right around the corner my skin tends to get dry and a bit flaky.  During this time of year my regular skincare routine just doesn't cut it. Luckily,  the great people over at Carmex sent me a skincare package to help me get through the cold temperatures.

The Carmex Healing Lotion can be used everyday, has a lovely smell and absorbs quickly when rubbed onto skin.  I've been using the lotion after my nightly shower.  I rub it all over my body and I instantly feel the added moisture. I especially like it because the next morning I still feel my skin moisturized despite the heater being turned on.

If you feel you need a little bit more TLC on certain parts of your body then that's where Carmex Healing Cream would come in!  This cream is thicker than the lotion, so you won't need too much product to start feeling a difference in your skin.  I use this cream on my hands, feet and elbows before I start out my day.  It really helps me look my best, because there is nothing more uncomfortable than exposing dry, cracked hands and feet to the world. 

I love both products from the Carmex skin care line! They really do help heal, soothe and moisturize your dry skin , especially hands, elbows and feet. The product absorbs quickly and has a great scent that I would compare to a light cherry and vanilla like smell.  The prices are great on the pocket.  I love that both the Carmex Healing Lotion & Carmex Healing Cream come in a travel size so it's convenient to carry them around with you.  I always carry mine in my son's diaper backpack. Either one of these products would make for a unique stocking stuffer.

Would you like to win these products?

The team over at Carmex have offered to giveaway the same products featured in this review to one of my readers!  You'll get both the Carmex Healing Lotion and Carmex Healing Cream in both the full and travel sizes for a total of 4 products!

Carmex Lime Twist and Vanilla Sticks Review & Giveaway {CLOSED}

It's time for another Carmex review!

Carmex has come out with two new lip products: Carmex Lime Twist stick & Carmex Vanilla stick.

Carmex hit the nail on the head when they came up with these two new flavors!  One is tangy and the other is sweet and they both smell delicious.  Although I like both, I'm more of a sucker for the sweetness of the vanilla stick.  Both the Carmex Lime Twist & the Carmex Vanilla sticks will leave your lips soft and smooth.  The secret is that Carmex as added three additional moisturizers {not used in their original line} to assure that your lips will look and feel their best at all time.

Not only are the new Carmex sticks good for your lips, but they are also good to your pockets.  They are economically priced and you can find them at your local CVS, Walgreens and Walmart.

Plus, I like how they decided to nix the traditional red caps and go for green and off white to match the color of the flavors.  It gives the packaging a fresh new look, but still with the original Carmex feel.

I definitely plan to purchase the vanilla stick once my current one runs out.  This is definitely a lip product that I can see forming part of my permanent daily beauty routine.

Have you tried out either the Carmex Lime Twist or the Carmex Vanilla stick?

Carmex® Moisture Plus™ ultra hydrating lip balm with Sheer Tints: Review and Giveaway

It's time for another Carmex review and giveaway!



For those of you who don't know, I'm a member of the Carmex Blog Squad-I even have a badge to prove it {check out the side bar} .



Carmex has been around for over 80 years.  If its been around that long then you know that the products have got to work.  I personally enjoy all Carmex products.


One of the products that I am very into right now is the Carmex Moisture Plus Hydrating Lip Balm with Sheer Tints- Sheer Pink Tint & Sheer Peach Tint.

Here's why I love Carmex® Moisture Plus™ ultra hydrating lip balm with Sheer Tints

• The Carmex Moisture Plus Ultra Hydrating Lip Balm w/ Sheer Tints are absolutely wonderful!  
• The product packaging is sleek and cool. 
• The lip balm twists up and when it appears it has a slanted shape. 
• The product glides on easily to the lips and is buttery. It keeps my lips hydrated, soft and moist, which is something we all need now that the temperatures are dropping.  But at the same time contains an SPF 15; it's like double protection for my lips. 
• The balm smells just like a Carmex product should smell :-) 
•  I love the tint in each of the lip balms-pink & peach.  It gives your lips a subtle hint of color, just enough to be able to wear it for any activity.  I can use to go to the gym without looking over the top, to run daily errands and this way add color to my face if I'm running short on time and can't do the make-up or if if I'm going out at night. 
• Becasue Carmex is a household name that's been around for years, I'm sure that you may have tried some of their other products, so you know these will most certainly not dissapoint.      

 Carmex® Moisture Plus™ ultra hydrating lip balm with Sheer Tints include vitamin E, aloe butter, shea butter and avocado butter  and is ONLY sold exclusively at Walgreens or walgreens.com.
