{Rafflecopter Giveaway} Carmex Prize Package 9/20

Carmex ROCKS my SOCKS!

Carmex is one of the most requested brands in our house… Everyone loves it. My brother is addicted to the Original Jar, or Tube, and there is always one in every single pocket of pants I try to wash. He is NEVER without it. The boys love the cherry flavor- and always slather on a ton of the Healing Lotion after getting out of the pool! Me, I love ’em all– And have found some new favorites in the awesome products that Carmex sent me to test out!

Check out the NEW Vanilla and Lime Twist Sticks!

These new Carmex sticks have the same great conditioning and smoothing super-powers that I’m used to, but with some great new flavors. The Lime Twist is really bright and refreshing- not too fruity- great balance of flavor. Brightens your mood when you wear it! The Vanilla Stick is really comforting and soothing… Some Vanilla’s taste artificial, this is just yummy and natural.

Some Amazing Carmex Facts:

  • When was Carmex® lip balm invented?
  •  Carmex was invented in 1937 by Alfred Woelbing, literally on the family stovetop. For the next 20 years, Alfred and his wife made Carmex by hand and poured it into the now familiar yellowcapped jars.
  • Is Carmex lip balm addictive?
  •  No, there’s nothing in Carmex that’s addictive. However, we believe it is addictively good.
  • Is Carmex tested on animals?
  •  Only the ones we’re related to. Seriously, we never test on animals. We don’t need to because we’ve got so many Woelbing family members to use as test subjects.
  • Does Carmex contain gluten?
  •  Nope, not even a speck.

See? I told you Carmex Rocks.

And, check out their website to request a Free Sample. Each week they randomly draw 50 people, and send them out a freebie! Because not only do they make the greatest products ever, they’re also just nice guys.

Win Your Own Carmex Package:

One lucky fan will win a prize pacakge that includes:

This super amazing picnic blanket- it unrolls HUGE, with a waterproof lining on bottom, and a super soft fabric on top, then rolls up to carry. Very cool.

Both of the new Carmex Sticks- Vanilla and Lime Twist.

AND- the other product that I got to test out, the new Moisture Plus-in a stylin’ slim tube, with a great slant-tip applicator. Great over lipstick or on it’s own, gave me really natural-looking glossiness to my lips. Super pretty.

{I have no pics of the three products you will win- They all three came with this awesome picnic blanket, but everyone grabbed ’em and ran off to try them before I could snap a pic. And yes, they’re really THAT good, good enough that they turn my family into a band of thieves…}

Disclaimer: I was sent a complimentary set of products, so I could try them out and share my feedback on ’em with you guys. All opinions are of course my own!
