Carmex Moisture Plus Sheer Pink and Sheer Peach Tint Lip Balms Review and Giveaway

I am a long time user of Carmex products.  In fact, my kids once accused me of being addicted to Carmex because I never go anywhere without a tube of Carmex in my purse.  I was delighted to be given the opportunity to review Carmex Moisture Plus Sheer Pink and Sheer Peach Tint Lip Balms as a member of the Carmex Blog Squad.

I received both the Carmex Moisture Plus Sheer Pink and Sheer Peach Tint Lip Balms to try and I love them!  The Carmex Moisture Plus bathes your lips in moisture and leaves them kissably soft. Carmex Moisture Plus contains SPF 15 so it protects your lip from the sun as well making them look and feel great.  The sheer pink and sheer peach add just a hint of color and are perfect for daytime use or a night on the town!  I found the Moisture Plus to live up to the high standards of the Carmex line of products and was very pleased with the length of wear.  This is one product that I will continue to use and recommend to my friends.

WIN IT!  I have a set of Carmex Moisture Plus Sheer Pink and Sheer Peach tint lip balms to give to one lucky reader!
