Carmex lip balms are household staples, especially during Fall and Winter seasons. My lips are already prone to dryness, but as soon as the temperatures outside go down and cold Northern winds start blowing in my face, they become chapped, and sometimes even crack.
Classic Carmex balm in signature squeeze tube is actually one of my fool-proof remedies for dry lips, but I recently discovered new Moisture Plus Lip Balms in stylish bright packaging. Each slim stick tube features the same legendary moisturizing formula with Vitamin E, aloe vera and shea butter, that sets on the lips with non-sticky clear gloss finish. In addition to that, these balms also provide broad-spectrum sun protection with included SPF15.
Carmex Moisture Plus Lip Balms make the perfect base for particularly drying lipsticks, and a great finishing touch for lip stains. Have you tried the popular popsicle lip where you only apply stain on the inner side of your lips to create just bitten effect? This look is very popular in Korea right now, and that trend recently came over to this side of the globe, so I want to make sure you girls stay ahead of the game with this simple trick!
Lip stains more often than not wear off unevenly, no matter how well you exfoliated the lips prior to the application. To prevent your pout from looking patchy, apply a thin layer of Carmex Moisture Plus Lip Balm on top once the tint sinks in. That will preserve the stain in its original condition, and also protect your lips from the sun throughout the day. You’re welcome!
I only have one negative thing to say about these. Maybe that’s just me, but when I twisted up one lip balm, it stayed in that position and wouldn’t twist back down. Good thing I didn’t go too far out, or it wouldn’t fit under the cap anymore. Keep that in mind, in case they’re all like that.
WHERE TO BUY: $2.99 for 0.075 oz. Available at drugstores nationwide.

These are so cute! I prefer this style to the original.
Me, too. The original silver tube is a tad boring, and these are anything but 🙂
I adore the packaging on these!
Right? I think they added more Limited Edition designs for Fall!
Is it crazy that I’ve never used a Carmex lip balm?! I definitely am snagging one of these if I see them in store. Such pretty packaging!
Not crazy at all! I never used them until a few years ago and now they’re a staple 🙂
I grabbed these the other day at Walgreens and LOVE them!
Nice! Aren’t they cute?
Aww these are so cute! I kind of wish they made their tinted lip balms with the cute packaging, too. I’d definitely be tempted to pick up another one then.
Right? I’d love to see their tinted balms in cute packaging, too. I’m actually using these more often just because they’re so cute, so my zebra stick is about halfway empty now.
