Review & Giveaway: Carmex Pomegranate

We all know to slather on the sunscreen all over our bodies when we head to the beach, but chances are, you might have forgotten to protect an important part of your body - your lips!


Carmex Lip Balm can help you protect those kissable lips. Each stick is made with an ultra-moisturizing formula, and SPF 15 water resistant sunscreen. They are available in six different flavors, including original, cherry, strawberry, vanilla, lime twist, and the newest member of the Carmex sticks family, Pomegranate.


Carmex sent me on over an assortment of their Carmex sticks, including the new Pomegranate, as well as a fun yellow beach tote to take everything to the beach in. I was excited to try out the new Pomegranate "flavor" of the Carmex family, and it did not disappoint me! It has a sweet scent to it that is perfect for the hot summer months. I'm glad to know I am protecting my lips from the possibility of a painful burn while keeping them soft and smooth. Let's face it - one of the first things people notice about a person is their face, and I don't want to have icky looking lips to scare anyone away. (I do that just fine without that problem. LOL)

You can find the new Carmex Pomegranate Lip Balm Sticks, and other varieties, at big box stores like Walmart and Target, as well as other stores like Walgreens, etc.


Win it! Thanks to Carmex, one lucky reader is going to win a Carmex beach tote and set of Carmex sticks just like what I received! To enter, just tell us which of the stick flavors you'd use first.

And as always, you can receive extra entries for:

-Subscribing to my feed OR publicly following my blog via GFC or Facebook
-Blogging about this giveaway with a link back
-Tweeting about this giveaway 1X (leave the link in your comment below or @psychotichouse)

That's four (4) possible entries! Giveaway ends August 4th at 11:59 PM PST, and please leave your email address in your entry or have it available in your profile. US only, sorry :( Good luck everyone!! :)

I received the products mentioned above thanks to Carmex in exchange for sharing my thoughts on it. All opinions are my own, and not that of any other person or company.

Joyce Lansky said...

Although vanilla isn't what I would want to eat, I think it would be awesome as a lip balm, so that's my first choice.

I believe I'm already connected to your GFC.

Thanks for the contest.
