ChapStick MixStix + Giveaway

Hi all! I've been waiting for just the right time to write up this review and host the giveaway, but with all the stuff that's been happening the last few weeks, it kind of got pushed to the side. Now that I'm getting back into the swing of things, why don't we have a giveaway? Stay tuned for after the review! I feel so lucky to be part of the ChapStick® blogger program. ChapStick® was generous enough to send me three tubes of their new MixStix as well as three tubes to give to one lucky winner! Not only did they send me these tubes of MixStix, but they also sent me an iTunes gift card, an insulated tumbler, and some headphones! Thank you, ChapStick®  This lovely package has definitely made my summer much better! I can't wait to tell you all about these new products from ChapStick®!

Company: ChapStick®

Flavors: Green Apple Caramel, Lemon Berry Sorbet, and Strawberry Banana Smoothie. First, let me tell you about these super innovative lip balms; they're dual sided! That's right, you have a flavor on each side for you to wear solo or combined! Now that we've got that out of the way, the Green Apple Caramel smells exactly like an ooey-gooey, stick, sweet caramel apple when combined. The rich caramel scent combined with the candy sweet scent of green apple makes me wish it was fall so I could be eating some delicious caramel apples. The Lemon Berry Sorbet has one side made that smells of light, slightly sweet lemon and the other side smells of a wonderful combination of mixed berries. This is such a unique and lovely scent. The Strawberry Banana Smoothie has one side that smells of sweet, ripe banana and the other side has an amazing, ripe strawberry scent that is different from ChapStick®'s Strawberry balm.

Wear: These balms go on very smooth and cover my lips wonderfully. I love being able to wear one flavor alone or both combined. They're great worn both ways.

Packaging: These balms come in tubes that are slightly longer than your usual lip balm tube since there is a different scented balm in each side. These tubes are so awesome! I've never seen or had a balm that had two separate flavors on either side of the tube. The labels and caps are brightly colored and coordinate with the flavor of the balms.

Price: I think I saw these in stores for about $4 which I thought was pretty reasonable for these balms!

Overall
Pros: Flavors, Wear, Packaging, Price
Cons:

Rating: 5 out of 5 twists. These balms are pretty wonderful and I'd highly recommend trying at least one of them!

And now for the giveaway! It is open to U.S. residents only and will run for two weeks. The winning entry will be verified. Good luck, everyone!

HUGE First Birthday Giveaway!

As most of you know, my blog just turned one this week which is a huge milestone for me. I never thought it would get to this point. Without all of you, my blog would not be what it is today! As a way to celebrate this milestone and to show you a bit of gratitude, I'm going to host a huge giveaway comprised of some prizes that were the most popular in my previous giveaways. Basically, it's another chance to win some of the most sought after balms from previous giveaways with a few added extras.

This giveaway will be run a little different from the rest in that there are nine prizes. Yes, nine , to be divided between three winners. One of the entries for this giveaway will be to tell me which three of the nine you most want to win. When I draw winners the first person will get their three and for the second and third winners I will try my hardest with what is left to get you as much of the three you most want to win as possible. But really, any of these balms would be amazing to have!

Like usual, this giveaway is open to U.S. Residents Only! This giveaway will run from today until midnight on January 20th since I was so late in posting this giveaway today.

Here is what you could win (brace yourself, it's kind of a lot):

'Like' Sweet Creek Herbal Care

Hey all!

I just saw on Facebook that if Sweet Creek Herbal Care gets 100 likes on their post this morning, they'll give 15% off their online shop! I've heard from a few of you who love Sweet Creek Herbal Care and have recommended their balms to me; I'm eager to try the balms and would definitely purchase them with an extra 15% off! I figured I would make an effort and see if we could get close!

Also, once I get to 20,000 views I"ll be having another giveaway! So stay tuned for that!

Happy Friday!
