Kiss Me I'm Irish! Kissably Soft Lips Just In Time for St. Patrick's Day - Softlips Review and Giveaway

With St. Patrick's Day coming upon us quickly, I found it only fitting to talk about getting your lips in shape for all the Irish fun! Seriously, how many "Kiss me I'm Irish" stuff do you see around when your out swigging, or chugging, down your pint of Guinness?

I don't know about you, but at certain points during the winter season I get some serious chapped lips sometimes. No one wants to kiss chapped lips! Ewww! I don't like using the regular run of the mill chapsticks either because the textures and flavors just seem funky to me. I always do try to keep some kind of lip protectant on me at all times for two reasons. The first is that I can't stand dry lips, its just gross. The second is that its part of my beauty regimen before I apply any kind of lipgloss or lipstick. It seems to make all the difference in the application process.

Recently I was given the opportunity to review the Winter collection of Softlips. I was more than thrilled because I used to use Softlips regularly when I was a preteen and throughout highschool. I'm not sure why I stopped using it. I think it was due to my early twenties when I lived for trying out new lip gloss daily. I don't know why but Softlips always brings back memories of seventh grade for me. There were two things that any girl who was even remotely popular had to possess, Malibu Musk being one and Softlips being the other. I think every single girl in my middle school used Softlips. Oh, and the Malibu Musk - that led to one very smelly girls locker room! I am so glad, and I'm sure that everyone else in my family was too, that Malibu Musk was out of style by the eighth grade!

Softlips, however, has stayed popular throughout the decades. I am not really surprised. It is wonderful product. When I used Softlips again for the first time in several years the reason why I loved it so much came flooding back to me. It just feels good on my lips, plain and simple. The taste is subtle and not overwhelming, which for me is very important. Softlips coats my lips and it doesn't feel waxy like regular chapsticks feel. There are several different flavors to choose from too. I am so loving the Sugar Cookie flavor right now. The size of each little tube is perfect too. I can keep it in my pocket and its hardly noticeable. I am definitely a Softlips fan for life.
