PRODUCT REVIEW: CHAPSTICK MIXSTIX STRAWBERRY BANANA SMOOTHIE and LEMON BERRY SORBET

Do you also experience my dilemma that every day you cannot decide on which lip balm to use and bring for travel? I do have this girly thing problem every day. I do have EOS in different flavors, Maybelline Sweet Lips and Carmex that I cannot decide on what to use and sometimes I just wanted to use it all at the same time.

Now, ChapStix has a remedy for my indecisiveness. They came up with a lip balm containing two flavors in one stick! Isn't that amazing? You can now bring two kinds on your pocket! It is a perfect treat for a indecisive girl like me.

I thank Sample Room for introducing this new products form ChapStick, if not I am still stuck on my same predicament every single day. The ChapStick Mixstix got sold out right away in Sample Room and it is a good thing I managed to snag a pair first.

There are two flavors offered at Sample Room, the Strawberry Banana Smoothie and the Lemon Berry Sorbet. Both ChapStick looks like the regular lip balm, only longer because it has the two flavors on both ends. Besides having two flavors that you can choose from, you can create a third flavor by applying both ends of the lip balm on your lips. It is perfectly designed that way to make it more fun.

Let me now share with you my experience with the ChapStick Mixstix!



CHAPSTICK MIXSTIX STRAWBERRY BANANA SMOOTHIE

Strawberry and Banana Smoothie, the name is enough to make me crave a real strawberry banana smoothie that I can drink on this humid weather lately. I like the strawberry flavor more than the banana.


Brand: ChapStick

Flavor: Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Weight: 4.4g

Product Description: (From ChapStick website) An ultra-hydrating, two-sided lip balm with Strawberry on one side and Banana on the other. Use each flavor individually or mix them together to create Strawberry Banana Smoothie. Provides 8 hours of moisturization with 11 moisturizers including Aloe.


Ingredients and Use:




Pros:
> The strawberry flavor tastes like strawberry sorbet of EOS
> No waxy taste like other lip balms
> Both flavor tastes good and really sweet
> Smells good
> Affordable
> Prevented further drying of lips
> Healed some of my chapped lips
> Declared by the brand that it keeps 8 hours moisture (I cannot really say because I keep on tasting the flavors on my lips so I frequently do re-application)
> The manufactured date and expiration date is indicated on the packaging
> The balm stick is firm but glides smoothly on my lips
> 3 flavors in one stick
> Color free so I can apply lipstick or gloss over the lip balm

Cons:

  1. Chapstick is the first lip balm that I have known way back grade school but lately,I've finally realised their importance so I bought one from Maybelline. I am not much fond of bananas though I love the Minions, hence I availed of the Lemon-Berry stick. So far, I am loving it!

  2. If you're tired of the other flavor, then switch the other side :D I'm into lip balms lately, but I preferred tinted ones. I prefer peppermint variant from chapstick - I like the cooling effect.
    So far, I think they're the first one to do this innovation to lip balms (I think?) With lots of pros, aren't they tempting to try? :D

  3. I am not fond of the bananas too, I liked the Strawberry better. We love the same flavor, Lemon! :)

  4. Yeah, I think they are the first one to invent two flavors in one stick. I hope they will try to have a mint side next time instead of two flavors. :)
