Giveaway #2--Reaching 20,000 Views

Hi all!

I know I just recently had a giveaway, but after reaching a pretty big milestone this past weekend I thought it would be a good idea to have another one! As many of you know this blog is still so very new to me and I'm figuring out new things about it and what to do with it every day. This month marks the 9 month anniversary since the start of my blog, how neat! I never, ever thought that this blog would grow into the thing it is today. It still amazes me, my parents, my boyfriend, his parents, all my friends...you get the idea...how many people actually read what I write, and about lip balm nonetheless!

I'm going to try to get much more organized with this giveaway business by doing a review of the product first and then hosting a giveaway for it so that you know what I think about it and then get to try it! I'll try to start that with the next giveaway since this one is already here and I'm way too excited about it; I have so many more giveaways planned already, I'm so excited!

As you all know by now, I'm completely infatuated with the Long Winter Farm Pistachio Chip I received from one of my readers. Well now is your chance to finally try the amazing lip balm I'm completely in love with.

This giveaway is for 1 tube of Pistachio Chip (gosh, darn it I ALWAYS type it as Pistachip) by Long Winter Soap Co.!

How To Enter: Comment on this post telling me which Long Winter Farm balm is your favorite! Or, if you don't have a favorite, tell me which flavor you'd like to try!

Additional Optional Entries (please leave a comment for each additional entry):

Balms I've Got My Eye On 8.21.12

I constantly take in other peoples' recommendations for lip balms and lip balm companies and often I stumble upon some on my own. This wish list of balms I want to try is never ending. Just when I think I've had enough, there's another five that catch my eye. Ugh. I'm not really complaining though.... This week I've been eyeing:

Puur Body's California Dreamin'

(via)

I can always use another citrus and vanilla blended lip balm, it's one of my favorite combinations!

Bella Fresca's Mango Orange

(via)

This sounds simply divine! I'm really, really tempted to try this one!

Whimsy Designs by Rossi's Juicy Mango

(via)

I think we all know by now how much I LOVE Mangoes and how I'm still on the hunt for the absolute perfect mango lip balm. I think this is a new company so I'm always iffy, but I really love the packaging on her balms!

Maeva Beauty's Strawberry Mint

(via)

Strawberry + mint? What?! That sounds crazy awesome! I've been meaning to try this company for a while now, they even have a mango lip balm! Perhaps this will move it higher up on my shopping list...

That's pretty much it for now! What's been catching your eye this week?

Don't forget to enter my giveaway to try some new balms!

End of Summer Giveaway!

Hey all!

I've been meaning to have a giveaway for quite some time now but have just had a hard time deciding how exactly I wanted to do it.

After hitting 16,000 views this past week I decided enough was enough, it's about time I had my first giveaway! This is my first ever giveaway so bear with me here.

What the Winner Will Receive: Summer may be winding down, but one lucky winner will continue to experience it for a little while longer with their brand new Orange Cream Burst by Chapstick! This lovely lip balm is the perfect model of the delicious summer treat. Not only will this lucky individual receive one (1) tube of this limited edition Chapstick, but he or she will also receive one (1) tube of Softlips' Watermelon and one (1) tube of Simply Lip Balm's Iced Pear!

My WHOLE Lip Balm Collection!

I'm sure you've all seen at least some of my reviews and how each review has anywhere between 2 and 9 (sometimes even more) lip balms. Upon seeing these, I'm sure you've all wondered, "Where exactly does she keep this stuff?!" Well I'm finally going to share with you all and uh...the world...just how I store all of my lip balms. It's really embarrassing and makes me seem like I have a problem (which I kind of do), but lip balms are like my hobby if you will. I'm going to walk you through each container that I keep my balms, are you ready?

This is my "top" container. It has three drawers, a compartment that opens up on top, and a few holders on top.

These are the holders on top in the back of the container. These balms will be used in giveaways that will happen very, very soon!

This is the first drawer, it used to hold a lot of stuff. It was used for my lip glosses (which now have a little box for themselves in my bathroom), but now it's used for my tinted balms, potted balms, and lip scrubs.

This is the second drawer of the top container.

This is the third drawer of the top container. It houses all of my Softlips and other thin tubed lip balms.

This is my "bottom" container. It has FIVE drawers.

This is the first drawer, there's a lot of Lemon Citrus balms kept in here.

This is the second drawer. it houses my eos balms and all the other ones are special lip balms my dad brought back for me from London and Portugal.

This is the third drawer, it has a lot of Savex balms and balms I picked up over Christmas.

This is the fourth drawer and it houses a LOT of Mylipstuff.com balms (which I haven't reviewed yet) and various others.

This is the fifth drawer and it houses almost all of my Crazy Rumors lip balms and various others.

This is the top and bottom containers put together. These two containers are stacked upon another three drawer unit which houses my makeup.

This is one of my containers that sits in my headboard. This contains all of the new balms I've received in the last couple of weeks. It's a little hard to reach the ones all the way in the bottom without emptying out the entire thing.

This is another container that I keep in my headboard, it contains some of my most frequently or most recently used balms (except that vanilla bean eos stick, that one fell behind my bed a few months ago and I finally picked it up). This container used to house all of the balms I owned. That was back in October or November of last year, ever since I found Etsy my collection has exploded!

This is a bag that I use to carry balms I'm just about to write reviews about. It goes with me almost everywhere that I'm going to be spending some time, just in case the mood to write strikes me.

This is the container I keep in my living room. It sure has come in handy. I used to keep my balms all over my living room end table, but this little container keeps it all neat and tidy in one place.

Here's what the inside of my living room container looks like. It's pretty bare compared to my other containers.

Here's my whole collection (minus my review bag) in one piece!

I hope you enjoyed my walk through, I don't think there's anyone out there who is more addicted to lip balm and trying new flavors like I am! So trust me, I think I know a thing or two about lip balm.

The square cardboard containers can be found at Target in their $1 impulse section when you first walk into the store. The plastic drawers can be found at Target, Walmart, Meijer, basically anywhere and retail for about $10.

If you see any balms from these photos that I haven't reviewed yet and you'd be interested in reading a review about them, please let me know and I'll add it/them to my roster for reviews.

What does your collection look like? Did you get any ideas from my collection on how to keep your balms?

Some News and A Favor!

Hey all!

I've got some pretty important news I stumbled upon. Lush Lip Candy has become Fresh & Natural Co. I just wanted to make sure that everyone who loves Lush Lip Candy or who has wanted to try Lush Lip Candy and has yet to do so will continue to get the opportunity to try and love these products as much as I do. (I just received an order today from her, yay!) So for future orders you can go to www.FreshNaturalCo.com. They also have a new Facebook page which you can find here. And don't worry the products are still the same great products with the very, very cute packaging! (I will review the new balms this week hopefully!)

Something that doesn't really have to do with lip balm but would really mean SO much to me if you could do is this: Chase is offering $250,000 grants to small businesses and my boyfriend's aunt (who is probably one of my most favorite people in this whole world and really deserves this) needs 250 votes by this Saturday. All you have to do is:

Go to www.missionsmallbusiness.com

Log in with your facebook id

Type geta2.com in the business box

Click search

Click support geta2.com

And that's it! I would really really appreciate it if those of you with Facebook could do that for me. I would also love if you guys could spread the word to your other Facebook friends.

If by Saturday she gets 250 votes I will host a giveaway for some delicious lip balms!

Thank you all SO much!
