Carmex Lip Conditioner

** I was given 2 tubes of Carmex Lip Conditioner to try, but was not paid for my review. All opinions are my own.**

See this cute boy? His name is Mason. He is 3.5 and he absolutely HATES giving "tisses" when I am wearing "lip pretties". Actually, my husband isn't a big fan either. When I give him a kiss, he quickly wipes the chapstick off.

I happen to have a lot of "lip pretties". I usually have at least one ismoothn every pocket and purse that I own. Not to mention my daughter has a pretty major collection. Like Mother, like daughter.

Soooo...I absolutely love being a member of the Carmex Blog Squad! I love getting to try new products from one of my favorite companies!

The newest item to come out, is the Carmex Lip Conditioner. Yep, conditioner. The lip conditioner comes in an orange flavor (love!!) and goes on lightly. After just a little bit of time, I realized that I could still feel that kind of "Carmex tingle" that really lets you know it is working. But...it didn't feel like I even had it on! It had dried but was still working. Does that make sense?

Doesn't she look thrilled?!

I had a tube in my car (of course) and was driving Harmony somewhere. I told her she should try it because it is really good, and she gave me a little smirk and said, "I already did."

I absolutely love it! My daughter loves it. How I knew it was a winner? I had it on, and Mason still let me give him a "tiss". No wiping off at all!

I would totally recommend this to anyone. Try it and let me know what you think!

Oops, a little blurry!

The other day, as our family was sitting around the table eating dinner, the doorbell rang. My kids excitedly jumped to go get it when my husband told them to sit back down it was just a package.

He looks at it and says, " It is for you, from Carmex." Then it was my turn to excitedly jump up! However, I held back until after dinner to open it.

I ripped the package open and found this fun summer tote and inside the small pocket? Every new flavor of Carmex chapstick and one of the origials.

I love, love, love Carmex. Seriously. My Carmex love dates back to my middle school years.

Well now you can get that same awesome coverage in fun flavors. Did you know that Carmex has an spf of 15? It is also water resistant for up to 80 minutes. How nice is that for when you are swimming around in the pool or ocean?

So far my favorite flavor is strawberry or vanilla. My daughter, who insisted I had to share, is pomegranate.

****DISCLOSURE**** I recieved these items from Carmex in exchange for this review. I am not being compensated for this review and all opinions are 100% mine.

I have said it before, and I will say it again, being a blogger definatley has some perks (:

One of them is getting items in the mail to try and review.

So when this box from Carmex appeared on my door step I did a little happy dance.

Inside were 2 full sized bottles of their new body lotion and 2 trial size.

One of the lotions is for daily use and one is an extra strength formula for some of your rougher spots (knees, elbows, feet...)

Now we all know that you put lotion on right after a shower right? I slathered some on one Saturday morning and went about my business. Then as I was sitting down to do some work on my lap top, I kept smelling something really good. I looked at my air freshners, that wasn't it. I looked at my candles, Scentsy's...and couldn't figure it out. I finally realized it was my lotion!! It smelled so good and the scent really lasted! It is a very light vanilla-y smell which I enjoyed. Who doesn't like vanilla right?!

I loved that the lotion was not greasy at all. It was nice and smooth. My arms and legs were very soft.

I have really dry feet (courtesy of wearing flip flops almost every day for the last 4 years) and the Carmex extra healing lotion really helped keep them soft and moisturized.

I have loved Carmex chapstick products for a long time, but I am adding a new product to my list of favorites! Do you get dry & itchy skin during the winter months?Want to add some moisturizing lotion to your routine?

Well the wonderful people at Carmex, have generously offered to send you, one of my readers, a pkg just like the one I recieved! So what do you have to do to enter? It's easy-schmeezy (:

1. First leave a comment, saying I want in!
2. Post about it on your blog (if you have one) this will get you 2 entries
3. Post about it on your FB page/wall

**You must be a follower on my blog & on Facebook to be entered**

** Giveaway ends 1 week from today on Nov. 23rd**

Review & a GiVeAwAy!!

One of my favorite parts of being a couponer/blogger is getting the mail.

 Serioiusly I love seeing what is in there.

One day, I was sitting around working really hard when there was a thud and my doorbell rang.



I wasn't expecting anything so I wasn't sure what it would be.



I was so EXCITED when I opened the box.



How cute is that pkg?!



New products to try and review. Companies want you to give an *unbiased* review on their products. I wasn't sure I could be unbiased because I LOVE Carmex! I have for a looong time. I have a rather serious addiction to chapstick and well, Carmex is right at the top of my list.



So when I was able to try their new flavors, I was all for it!



The Carmex lime twist, still gives you that "tingle" which lets you know it is working BUT it has a great lime flavor that I love! The Carmex Vanilla flavor is more subtle than the lime, but still provides you with that sweet hint of vanilla. I honestly loved them both. The lime is a much stronger flavor, so if you don't like that, I would recommend the vanilla. They both have an SPF of 15 which I also love! Oh Carmex, how I love thee!

I was given this great package (as seen in above pictures) and you have the chance to win one too!



We love the picnic blanket. Soft on one side but the other is a waterproof mat that keeps you dry. My kids have used it quite a bit in the backyard. However, I have started keeping it in the car so that I can use it when the need arises.

So would you like to win one? Of course you do! The first thing to do is leave a comment letting me know that you want to be entered.

For a 2nd entry you need to "like" my page on Facebook. It is California Clippin'.

For a 3rd entry, blog about this giveaway on your own blog!



my cute little pirate who decided he wanted to try the vanilla flavor



Make sure to have your friends say who sent them, so that you get credit for them also!

Now for the important stuff:

This giveaway is only open to residents of the U.S. (sorry Guam friends!) because it is being shipped by the company and not me.

I will be drawing a winner on Sat Aug. 27th so make sure you have lots of entries! Oh and I know it is annoying, but leave a seperate comment for each time you have entered!

**Carmex sent me products to review and try, but I was not compensated for my review. All opinions are MINE*



the blanket has a large pocket and folds into itself!! Love it!
