I honestly don’t mind the winter months that much. I freak out when I have to drive in snow, but other than that, I’m OK with the harsh, cold, winter weather.
I do very much mind how the winter air dries out my skin. I have to slather on moisturizer all day long and a couple of times at night. Currently I have some split skin on two fingers. Ugh!
The winter weather also dries out my hair and my lips. Oh my lips! My poor lips! They get so bad that they crack – especially in the corners. That is so painful, especially when you try to open up your mouth wide.
I tend to keep lip balm on hand year round. When it comes to the winter months I make sure to have several on hand just in case. I have one on my desk, one in my car, one in my husband’s car and one in my purse.
Even though it’s jut a lip balm, there is no reason why it can’t be fun and fashionable.
One brand, Carmex, offers lip balms that are inspired by the colors and fashion trends every season.
Carmex Moisture Plus® offers new package designs every season inspired by colors from Pantone’s official color forecast as well as prints and textures seen on the fashion runways. Each slim and stylish lip balm stick is packed with the ultra-hydrating formula of Carmex® and features a soft vanilla flavor, satiny shine and broad spectrum SPF 15 sunscreen. Carmex Moisture Plus® is the perfect must-have accessory for any bargain hunter looking to keep the latest trends at their fingertips without breaking the bank! These lip balms pack a double punch – moisturizing lips while giving you a designer look.
I enjoy the subtle vanilla flavor. Sometimes that is all you need. I personally don’t need unique flavors like mango lime or grapefruit/watermelon. A classic vanilla is all I need.
Having a lip balm with an SPF is a must – even in the winter. Did you know that your can still get sunburn during the winter months? That is why it’s important to apply and SPF every day – 365 days a year. Carmex Moisture Plus® has an SPF 15, which is all you would need (I doubt you would even need an SPF 50 for a lip balm).
Carmex Moisture Plus® Contains Aloe, Vitamin E, and Shea Butter to help moisturize and soothe chapped lips. It also has a unique slanted tip which makes application quick and easy.
I love the packaging too. I love the colors and designs.
Carmex was kind enough to send me a “Glam Up Your Look!” care package consisting of a hair curler, eye lash curler, make up and, of course, some Carmex Moisture Plus® lip balms.
It’s easy to “Glam Up Your Look!” with just a few items. Take for example a simple hair curler. It’s an easy way to change up your hairstyle, whether you do curls over your entire head, or just a few curler strategically placed around your head. It’s so easy to do.
My teenage daughter took possession of the hair curler as soon as she saw it. She actually wanted one for Christmas so it worked out perfectly. I also use it from time to time when I want to do-up my hair. Normally for work in the AM I don’t have time to style my hair, but I do for my afternoon job. I’ll occasionally use the hair curler to give my hair some style instead of my usual ponytail.
Another simple item to help you glam up your look is an eyelash curler to give your eyes lashes that “pop” off your face.
Carmex sent me an eye curler. I had to give it to my daughter. I WOULD use it but my lashes are very short and it wasn’t working for me. My daughter has super long eyelashes (she gets them from my husband) so the curler works great for her. Her lashes almost look fake because they are so long with a nice curl to them. I’m jealous!
Carmex Moisture Plus® can also glam up your look with their fun and colorful designs. These are not your ordinary lip balms. They can also double as a fashion accessory.
I adore the designs on the Carmex Moisture Plus® tubes. They are so pretty! I especially like the one called “Girly” (floral) and “Whimsical” (Peacock feathers). The one called “Adventurous” has a gold star-like design and “Fab” has a very colorful design.
Of course my daughter wanted one too. She picked out “Fab.”
I keep “Girly” in my purse, “Whimical” in my car and “Adventurous” on my desk so that I have some available to me all all times of the day and I’m never without any.
Carmex Moisture Plus® keeps my lips moisturized and soft and helps prevent my lips from drying out and splitting (the worse!).
My teen son suggested they make “guy designs.” Who knows, maybe Carmex will consider a line just for men?
You can find Carmex products at the checkout lane of your local Walmart, Walgreens or Dollar General stores. They have a retail value of $2.49.

I have not seen the Carmex Moisture Plus® tubes at our Walgreen’s or Walmart. I am going to have to check with customer service to see if the stores here carry these. I love the peacock feather design.
