(Review & Giveaway) Carmex New Vanilla and Lime Twist Click Stick Lip Balms & Picnic Blanket

12 August 2011 33 Comments

As a die hard Carmex junkie, I was delighted to discover two new flavors that I could add to my already impressive chapstick collection.

The new Carmex Click Sticks do exactly that — they CLICK while you turn the base dial gently. What a brilliant concept…I mean, why didn’t anyone think of this before? Rather than the entire tube coming up full force like some rocket, the click sticks are an elegant way to get your product dispensed in dependable increments.

There are two new delicious flavors: Vanilla, and Lime Twist.

The Vanilla is my favorite now and I carry it with me everywhere. I do love the summery Lime Twist as well because it reminds me of the tropics. These are two flavors every girl should keep in her purse.

Carmex Click Sticks

Now that fall is in the air, the time has come to really take care of your skin — and in particular, your lips. We’ve written about Carmex before, and these Click Sticks contain the ingredients that have been proven effective, time and time again: from beeswax to salicylic acid to methol, the cocktail is an effective punch.

These Click Sticks also have SPF 15, and I love the fact that Carmex products contain an element of sun protection. The brand has come a long way from the tubes and the jars I still know and love (I’m retro. I love Mad Men). These retail for next to nothing so you can stock up in bulk. While these flavors are not the first to come in the Click Stick variety, they are two of the most creative.

Now, for the fun part — goodies up for grabs. Here’s what we’re giving away to ONE lucky reader:

  • 1 Carmex Lime Twist click stick
  • 1 Carmex Vanilla click stick
  • 1 Certified Awesome Picnic blanket (it’s really cute and warm and fuzzy — perfect for the cold weather)
  • 1 Carmex Moisture Plus® clear satin gloss finish

To enter, leave a comment below telling us WHY you love Carmex. Be honest! A winner will be picked by August 30th. Good luck, and keep that pout soft and shiny (US only please).

    I love Carmex because in the winter sheets of skin want to peel off my lips and it’s the only thing that works. You said honest, right?

    I love that it provides instant relief and it keeps chapped lips away.

    Have been a longstanding fan of Carmex. I love the creamy texture and taste (yes, I usually lick it off my lips so apply quite often, lol). This “click” concept caught my attention as well as the new flavors…especially the lime!
    Thanks for this opportunity to hopefully win it along with the other goodies. :)

    Carmex keeps my lips soft and moist. I really love it when the cold weather sets in and indoor air is so dry. Keeps my lips from chapping.

    I like Carmex beacause of less fragrance, treats cold sores really great. Would love to win this giveaway.

    I’ve never tried Carmex but cant wait till’ I do.

  • Jessica G said:

    Carmex has been a staple for years: it’s cheap and it works better than some of the more expensive products out there.

    I’ve used it since I was a little girl.

  • Sharon Kirk said:

    I love Carmex! Feels and smells good. I am a nurse, and we use it forour patients, too.

  • Jeanette said:

    I love Carmex in the summer for the SPF and in the winter for the protection. I love it all the time for the way it feels on my lips. We go through a ton of Carmex every winter as I keep my three children always with a tube or pot of it in their backpacks, their nightstands, etc. I love the click stick idea to control the application and vanilla and lime… I might put one flavor on top and the other on the bottom and combine! Yum!

    I adore Carmex. It’s the only brand I grab for a few reasons: It is extremely effective AND my Mom uses it! As a kid, I remember her always having great luck with Carmex. Why fix something that works? :-)

    Thank you for the chance!

    I’ve used Carmex for years and I love it – both for my lips and my cuticles. I use it because it keeps my lips soft and works well under lipstick. It’s that simple, honestly.
