Softlips Review & Giveaway


How many of you have went through a day picking at your lips because they were dry? Or saw your child doing it? Chances are with the weather being as cold as it has in the past two months more and more people will be needing to reach for a stick to moisten their lips. Now, I've stated here before of my love for Softlips and how my son refuses to use them but the girls just adore those tiny lady-like sticks.

I wrote Softlips and explained to them that I'd been hearing they had all these different flavors out there but I'd only seen two and that was vanilla and regular. They asked me if I'd like to review some new flavors (I get the sticks to review for free, they got a review and ya'll get a giveaway) they had out. Of course I said yes, so here goes.

The "Winter Flavors":
-Softlips® Sugar & Spice
-Softlips® Sugar Plum Berry
-Softlips® Sugar Cookie

The kids absolutely love the sugar cookie, which has now found a home in my purse because this is the one they frequently ask for. I think I'll have to buy an entire box of this flavor. I never thought a chapstick flavor would stick like this. Now it really does smell like sugar cookies, you know that sweet smell of a freshly baked sugar cookie, well that's it. I dont' recommend licking it, although my daughter (age 6) insists it tastes yummy and my 2 year old son licks it every time I put it in. I now have to tell him he can't have any unless he doesn't lick it.

I liked the Cherry that came in the Sugar Cookie, so as you can see that is a good thing as I can have it all to myself. With the Sugar and Spice you can immediately smell the sweet scent of spices, it makes me think of pumpkin pie for some reason. You can taste (through scent not actual taste) the berry in Sugar Plum Berry.

Sugarlips PURE Flavors:
-Acai Berry
-Chai Tea (my favorite)
-Papaya
-Pomegranate

Each stick smells just like their name!

Where can you get Softlips? For a suggested retail price of $2.99 to $3.99 for the dual-stick pack. Now through out the holiday/winter season, the limited addition flavors Sugar & Spice and Sugar Plum Berry are available in Target. You can get them at Walmart too, but mine didn't have them.

I'd love to have the special winter flavors set. Something I learned from the Soft Lips site is that it's made by the Mentholatum company. My mom loves their regular lip balm that they've been making for decades. She doesn't like to use anything else, but it's hard to find now.
