Carmex Lip Balms Reviews

Hi Readers!

   After reviewing Carmex Lip Balm Original flavour (jar container), I admit I was totally in love and hooked with this lip balm. Aside from helping to moisturise and relieve dry chopped lips, it is also very affordable and no wonder why there're so many users kept on buying and using Carmex. 

About Carmex:

   Suffering from dry, chapped lips, Alfred Woelbing invented Carmex lip balm in the USA in the early 1930's. The mixture was carefully hand poured into small glass jars which Alfred would sell to pharmacists from the boot of his car. Now available with sunscreen, Carmex comes in squeeze tubes and click sticks-as well as in Alfred's original little jar. The Woelbing family still runs the business today! Carmex products are tested on family member-not on animals. 

Classic Carmex Moisturising Lip Balm in jar, Original Flavour Carmex Mositurising Lip Balm in Tube, Original Flavour  Carmex Moisturising Lip Balm in Click Stick, Strawberry Flavour Carmex Lip Balm in Click Stick.

I already made my review on Classic Carmex Moisturising Lip Balm in jar container you can read it here. 

Original Flavour Carmex Moisturising Lip Balm in Tube.

Pros What I Like: 

• I love the vanilla scent :)
• Moisturising
• With expiration date

Cons What I don't like:

none, I can't think of any :)

Use: Alleviates the roughness of dry lips.

How to use: Squeeze and apply freely on your lips (Don't over squeeze the tube, press it softly so that it will not spill).

Size: 10g tube

Original Flavour Carmex Moisturising Lip Balm in Click Stick.

Pro(s)What I like:

• with SPF 15 (sun protection against lips darkening)
• Safely Sealed 
• I like the minty feel (cooling effect)

Con(s) What I don't like:

• I don't know if it's just me but after applying this on my lips it became a little dry :( . It felt like I applied a matte lipstick (less the color though!)
• a little waxy (maybe because of the solid form unlike the Carmex in the jar or in the tube that like gel)
• I can't find the expiration date.

Uses: Lip Moisturiser, Sunscreen with SPF15 (protects from sunburn) and Brood Spectrum.

How to use:  use as like as applying lipstick. Apply liberally and evenly as often as necessary, and before exposure to sun, wind or cold. Reapply after swimming. Consult a health care professional for use on children under 12 months of age.

Size: 4.25g

Original flavor in a solid stick. Clear, not tinted, minty and with cooling effect.

Strawberry Carmex Moisturising Lip Balm in Click Stick.

Pro(s)What I like:

• I love the strawberry flavor (the flavor doesn't over power the minty taste)
• with SPF 15
• Safely Sealed 
• I like the minty feel (cooling effect)

Con(s) What I don't like:

• My lips became a little dry also (same adverse reaction as like in Original flavor Carmex Moisturising Lip Balm in Click Stick)
• has a waxy feel too.
• I can't find the expiration date.

Uses: Lip Moisturiser, Sunscreen with SPF15 and Brood Spectrum.

How to use:  use as like as applying lipstick.

Size: 4.25g

Same as Carmex orginal flavor click stick it's clear, not tinted, minty and with cooling effect plus the strawberry flavor.

Recommendation:
   Yes I recommend Carmex but among the Carmex lip balms, I like most the one in the jar and tube container -I like how my lips moisturized. If your looking for a lip balm with SPF then choose the one in Click Stick. It's not tinted because of that, not only ladies but men can also use this (^_^).

Hi Readers!

   Last week a blogger's kit arrived in front of our door step, what excite me more is the packaging because it came from a white briefcase type (I super love the packaging! check the image below:). I received Garnier Pure Active products: Garnier Pure Active Pimple Roll On and Garnier Pure Active Facial Scrub from GeiserMaclang. I can't wait to try the 2 products, I will write my review after I use it. Here are short information about the Garnier Pure Active:

Garnier Pure Active's breakthrough formula consists of a combination of two powerful acne-fighting ingredients-Purifying Salicylic Acid with proven anti-bacterial properties, and Natural HerbaRepair from blueberry extracts, which helps repair and regenerate the skin to prevent scarring. Clinically tested on acne prone skin, the line works immediately on imperfections and delivers multi-cation benefits from day one.

Garnier Pure Active range in the country consist of two products:

Garnier Pure Active Pimple Roll On - Concentrated with 2%salicylic acid, the new Garnier Pure Active Pimple Roll-On immediately dries pimple and reduce acne spots. The revolutionary metal roller ball immediately helps relieve pimples without having to touch the pimple itself, while its compact size is convenient to carry around your bag.

Garnier Pure Active Facial Scrub - Enriched with powerful anti-bacterial active with repairing properties and microbeads, the new Garnier Pure Active Scrub actively fights the 6 skin problem so you can say adieu to pimples, whiteheads, oiliness, enlarged pores, impurities and unevenness.

I love the packaging :)

Random New Things: Journal and Flat

Hi Readers!

   How's your long vacation guys? Where have you been last holy week? Our family stay here in the city, we took advantage of long vacation to pack old stuff, threw things that no longer use (to make it short my mom force me to clean the house ha!ha!ha!). Vacation also gave me the free time for t.v. marathon, reading blogs and to over eat (glutton :). But of course I also spent extra time to reflect and took a deep silent and communicate with God.  

   Back to blogging hobby. For blog today, I'll be sharing with you some random things I received from my generous sister (actually this is a backlog, I forgot to post this last March because I'm too busy)

New Journal. I love collecting journal or hardbound book because I love writing :) My sister surprised me when she gave me this book I'm eyeing in a bookstore. I felt a little guilt kasi mahal siya(because it was expensive) anyway thanks to my sweet and generous younger sister. Lav yah :)

My new journal and my fashion journal :)

Grendha Jelly Gladiator Flat Shoes. I want to use this especially this summer :)

LSS: Rolling In The Deep

Hi Readers!

   For two weeks this song was my last song syndrome (LSS), Rolling in the deep sang by Adele. I love Adele songs very much (oh I know what you thinking! sound like broken hearted :) 

   Last week I watched Anderson Coopers interview with Adele on you tube check here and here. I found out that she's only 23 years old (I can't believe she's younger than me) Very successful at her age and bless with good voice. 

My favorite line:

The scars of your love, remind you of us.
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling

There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark.
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your ship bare.
See how I'll leave, with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do.
There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark.
The scars of your love, remind me of us.
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
And you played it
To the beat
Baby I have no story to be told
But I've heard one of you and I'm gonna make your head burn,
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there as mine sure won't be shared
The scars of your love, remind you of us.
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
And you played it
To the beat
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
But you played it
With a beating
Throw your soul threw every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
And you played it to the beat
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside your hand
But you played it,
You played it,
You played it
You played it to the beat
