Carmex Lime Twist and Vanilla Review + Giveaway!

by Diana Ajih on August 31, 2011

Hey everyone. Today I’m sharing with you two new products from the Carmex line and a giveaway. Yay!

Introducing Carmex newest flavors- Lime Twist and Vanilla.

Carmex’s newest lip balms are ultra moisturizing, ultra smooth, and ultra flavor. Besides the delicious flavor, both balms have an added sun protection with SPF15 and all of the moisturizing ingredients of the Carmex lip balm line. What makes these premium lip balms different from the brand’s original line are the three additional moisturizers.

I’ve been a Carmex fan ever since I was a little kid. I rarely suffered from extreme dry or cracked lips and I truly believe Carmex played a role in that. When I was given the opportunity to try Carmex’s two newest lip balm flavors, I was beyond excited and couldn’t wait to test it out.

My review:

After testing out both balms one thing is certain, Carmex delivers on its promise. My lips looks and feels incredible. I will admit that I lean more towards the Vanilla than the Lime Twist. I love everything Vanilla so it wasn’t hard falling for the Vanilla flavor first plus it stays in my purse 24/7. I still enjoy the Lime Twist flavor. In fact, I apply it at night right before I head to bed. Again, I think both scents are awesome.

Giveaway

Carmex fans! Here’s your chance to try Carmex’s two newest flavors. One lucky winner will win:

Carmex Lime Twist Balm
Carmex Vanilla Balm
Carmex Picnic Blanket

susan smoaks September 2, 2011 at 10:53 am: i would love to try the lime, i love carmex because it makes my lips feel so soft!
jasmine September 2, 2011 at 2:00 pm: I get horrible dry lips and have tried everything to soothe them. my boyfriend (an avid carmex user) knowing my obsession for lip balm and my need for relief gave me a jar of original carmex. Instantly my pain was eased; within a day the split had stopped bleeding and started to heal; and in a few days my lips were silky smooth perfection. Carmex even saved my lip from sunburn when I went hiking. Everyone else was chapped but not me. After that my outdoor friends know better and bring their own yellow jars and sticks. I love the original and the cherry is divine as well but I would looove to try the vanilla (vanilla is my favorite scent! )
Amber September 2, 2011 at 2:01 pm: I love Carmex because all of their products really work and save my chapped lips! I’d love to try the Lime flavor!
