ChapStick Mixstix in Strawberry Banana Smoothie

I had my first encounter with ChapStick exactly 15 years ago. I was in 5th grade then, and it was the first lip balm I ever bought with my own allowance. I chose the classic strawberry flavor, and loved it to bits - I even used a lip brush to scoop every bit of it out. Since then, I've got to try a lot of lip balm, but nothing beats going back to an old favorite! (Thanks for this one, Tellie!) :D

ChapStick Mixstix in Strawberry Banana Smoothie

ChapStick has innovated their products to this lovely limited edition Mixstix, with a different flavor on each end!

ChapStick Mixstix contains 4.4g of products = 2.2g each flavor. Shelf life is 3 years, but since it smells and tastes so good you're bound to use it up in a few months.

This is a super space-saver inside my makeup kit. On days I can't decide which lip balm to bring with me, I reach for this one - problem solved! The cap is also nice as it's secure, so the lip balm won't make a mess inside your bag.

Strawberry is a classic flavor, its slightly tart but more on the sweet side.

I think this is my first ever banana lip balm, and I am in love with its (artificial) banana scent! Think: banana flavored candy - nowhere near the taste of real bananas as a fruit but still so yummy.

I can wear this in 3 ways: strawberry alone, banana alone, or mix both flavors together to get a sweet delicious strawberry banana smoothie flavor! And it's not just scented, both flavors are tasty sweet!

Tip: Use one flavor on the upper lip, and one on the lower lip, then press your lips together to mix the flavors on your lips. This way, it won't mess up the actual scent of the product on the packaging.

ChapStick Mixstix has a smooth glide and it lasts long on my lips. It keeps my lips soft and moisturized for around 5-6 hours. given that I just eat light snacks and sip on water often at work. It has no tint and no SPF, but given its concept (2 in 1) and performance, it's a winner for me!

ChapStick Mixstix comes in 2 flavors here in the Philippines: Strawberry Banana Smoothie and Lemon Berry Sorbet. In other countries, they even have a Green Apple Caramel version!

SRP: P140 to P169 (at Watsons)

Get Chapstick Mixstix in Strawberry Banana Smoothie and Lemon Berry Sorbet for FREE at Sample Room! Six and four stocks (respectively) available as of press time! :D

Beauty By Tellie Blog Sale (Baby) Haul ♥

My friend Tellie is currently having a Giant Blog Sale, and I believe her items are flying off the shelves quickly. I'm trying to save up this month, and I'm hosting my own sale, but her deals are just too hard to resist! :D

Yes, I was the one who called in dibs on the Shu Uemura Skin Radiance Set! Mwahaha >:) Good thing I saw her post early. The next day, she informed me that there were 7 other ladies vying for this set should I change my mind. :o I was choosing between this set and the Shu Uemura Perfect Poreless Set, but my curiosity for the cleansing oil won me over. Somehow, I do regret not getting both! Haha!

Shu Uemura Skin Radiance Set

Shu Uemura Whitefficient Clear Brightening Cleansing Oil 50ml

Shu Uemura TSUYA Skin Youthful Radiance Generator 7ml

Shu Uemura UV UB Brightening Mousse SPF 30 PA+++ 30g

I still can't believe I got all these for P300. It's like the best P300 I've ever spent. *happy tears* :') I'll be testing these products one at a time, just to be sure that they don't break me out. The cleansing oil I'll keep for the meantime, since I'm only halfway through with my current makeup remover.

Just this week, I dropped by her place to get the items (since our houses were just about a 10 to 15-minute ride from each other. The long chika was fun! :D (Dawn, matutuloy na yung bonding natin sa wakas! Haha)

Tellie was also so generous! She let me raid her stash, and gave me these! :3 Pantene 3 Minute Miracle is an old favorite. The Bifesta Sebum wipes I shall reserve strictly for travel. I'm currently trying out the Avene Hydrance Optimale Light Hydrating Cream as my day moisturizer/sunblock. The ChapStick mixstix was too cute too pass up! Excited to try the Strawberry Banana Smoothie flavor.

Gaah. So many new products to try! It's been a while. Thanks for re-inspiring me to write kikay stuff, Tellie! See you soon! :D

Love,

Helen
