ChapStick® Hydration Lock Moisturize & Renew Review

Has anyone tried the Chapstick Hydration Lock dual ended line?  


I received the Hydration lock Moisturize & Renew for free from Chapstick and Smiley360, to review and give my honest opinion. 


The moisturize side contains the antioxidant CoQ10 and hyaluronic spheres to be long lasting and make your lips look fuller, smoother, and younger. The renew side softens, conditions and revitalizes your lips with natural butters like Shea and Mango. I love it, it makes my lips feel soft and smooth and very moisturized...without the greasy or sticky feeling some products cause.  I also have to reapply it maybe 3-4 times a day, in contrast..I reapply other products 2-3 times an hour.  It would probably last even longer if I weren't obsessively rubbing my lips together because of how smooth they feel....well played Chapstick, well played. lol. 

The second product in the dual ended line is the Hydration Lock Day & Night, which I will be picking up as I think it will suit my needs better. The day side offers protection from the sun with SPF 12 and long lasting moisturization.  On the night side you get natural butters, antioxidants, and Tamanu oil to replenish your lips. 

Upon clicking on the coupon link I see that there are also dual ended/dual flavor products available...looks like I'll be picking up one of those too, probably the strawberry and banana.  Have I mentioned I may have a lip product addiction? lol Allow me to call into question, Exhibit A.

A little help here..... :)

Anyone want to help me earn some extra cash? Just click my referral links at the bottom and sign up for Ebates and Swagbucks! Great sites, I use them all the time.


I'm currently trying to earn extra cash to pay for the Spay surgery of a stray dog I've been caring for, I don't want to have to find homes for puppies or worse see them sent to a shelter. 


 Ebates is a cash back site and once you spend $25 or more (within one year) I get a reward! I get $25 per person for the first two people, and $5 for each person after.

Swagbucks is a site that allows you to earn points which you can convert to gift cards, paypal, or use to purchase other items on the site.  You earn points by filling out surveys, watching SBTV, playing games, polls, searching, shopping online, even by using the printable coupons from their site and more. I'll earn 10% for life (If you sign up before the end of Summer) when you earn points from Shop, Search, Watch, Play, Discover, and Answer. I've earned $50 - $100 in two weeks before! I love it, it's great for earning extra cash for the holidays or a little supplemental cash for your pocket!

I'd really appreciate it if you would click my links and help me out!

Thanks so much!

Coppertone Baby :)


I'm a BzzAgent and received these products free to test out and give my honest opinion.



I was sent samples of COPPERTONE CLEARLYSheer Sunny Days Body Lotion & COPPERTONE CLEARLYSheer Beach & Pool spray.

I'm terrible about applying sunscreen, if it takes too much time...I lose interest. I of course want to use sunscreen to help protect myself from the sun's harsh rays. Coppertone's ClearlySheer spray is my perfect solution, just spray it on and go...so much faster than applying sunscreen lotion.

I also tried the ClearlySheer sunscreen lotion, which believe it or not, was lightweight and non-greasy. I didn't have a problem with it breaking me out or clogging my pores, it's great to use under makeup!

Coppertone ClearlySheer comes in two scents: a fresh citrus scent, and a tropical fruit and flower fragrance. Both scents are nice, my favorite is the tropical fruit and flower.

I just wish someone would come up with a non-greasy sunscreen shampoo for protecting the scalp!

Have you tried Coppertone's ClearlySheer? What's your favorite sunscreen?

Dinner, Kroger Style

As you may know, I'm a BzzAgent, which means I get selected for a campaign to try out products for free or for a discount and share my honest opinion about them while spreading the word. I have not been paid for this and all opinions are my own.

If you don't know what bzzagent is you should definitely check it out at www.bzzagent.com. You fill out surveys and are selected, based on demographics, to try out great full size products and then spread the word about them.

 

I would have to say this is one of my favorite campaigns so far. If I hadn't been invited to this campaign I might never have tried these products simply because I didn't know about them. I chose the penne and grilled chicken in vodka sauce kroger skillet meal...it was delicious and I have purchased more. I think for the price there could be a little more in the bag, but still I really like the taste. One thing I don't like about the skillet meal is that it comes out of the bag in one big frozen block, which adds to the prep and cook time, I might try breaking it up before opening it next time.

I had never tried krogers garlic bread, but I found that I really like it. It is the perfect combination of crisp and crunchy on the outside and soft and buttery in the center. I will buy more if competitively priced. 


I chose the Fresh Selections salad kit and while it was the best lettuce I have had in a kit(very crisp lettuce), the cheese and croutons were below average. I will repurchase the salad, but forego the included croutons and cheese in favor of my own. I don't really have anything to compare the skillet meal to, and I've mostly eaten frozen garlic toast rather than frozen garlic bread, but the salad is so crisp and flavorful I will probably continue to purchase it. I really love the soft center and perfect amount of crunchy on the outside of the garlic bread. My favorite skillet meal of all is the penne and grilled chicken in vodka sauce, I really love the taste and I will definitely continue to buy it.

All this talk has made me hungry :p Note to self: don't review bzzagent food campaigns on an empty stomach. 

            Ready to eat in around 10 minutes!

If you haven't yet tried out these products, you definitely should. They have many varieties of skillet meals, but I haven't been able to talk myself into buying any other kind after trying the Penne with chicken and falling in love with it. I certainly intend to try the rest of the flavors though!
