West Hollywood, CA (September 2009) – Just when I thought I finally found the perfect
lip gloss for day and the creamiest
balm for night,
Blistex threw their new formulas into the mix and sent me back to Square One.
In case you are not sure what I’m talking about, here’s the 4-1-1:
Blistex is launching two one-of-a-kind lip balms,
Lip Massage and
Natural Cooling Comfort, that will keep your puckers plump and smooth around the clock (making them almost as kissable as mine).

Blistex's new lip balms, Lip Massage and Natural Cooling Comfort, are an affordable way to improve the health of your lips

Blistex Lip Massage smoothed my lips and tasted heavenly
|
Oh wow! I am not being bias when I say that
Blistex Lip Massage is my new favorite lip balm! Though this wasn’t part of the requirements in making a
medically approved lip moisturizer, this balm smells so good and leaves a slightly vanilla-ish taste on your lips… my favorite scent, taste, flavor, everything, so that was the first brownie point I gave
Blistex.
Next was the
textured applicator: it is shaped at an angle to glide perfectly onto your lips, and the ridges are just firm enough to
lightly smooth away rough spots without feeling like a scrub.
I put this lip balm on during my interview with
Blistex’s Christy Fatigato and
Jessica Vitale at around 11am and that night I already noticed a newfound smoothness to the touch.
I am not surprised by such quick results, however, because
Blistex worked with pharmacists for three years to create the
most effective moisturizing formula, and adding
jojoba, sunflower oil and
sea butter for
ultra-intense hydration.

Dr. Charles Zugerman, the
medical advisor to Blistex Inc., says that “dry and rough lips…can be painful an unhealthy, [so]
Blistex Lip Massage’s textured tip and highly effective formula…[are] beneficial to lip health.”
Though
Blistex Lip Massage is a non-solid balm, it is the first of its kind to come in a
solid stick tube, rather than the flimsy ones that most non-solid formulas dispense from. It normally drives me crazy to have to carefully squeeze the tubes at just the right speed and pressure (somehow, I always end up squirting unnecessary blobs of balm, half of which gets wasted as it's wiped onto a napkin). With this handy new packaging, the
Lip Massage balm twists cleanly out of the top, so you get the perfect amount every time.
I have turned
Blistex Lip Massage into a new nightly ritual, but if you prefer to carry it along in your pocket all day, go for it! This balm has
SPF 15 and is a
broad-spectrum sunscreen, so it offers
full protection from harmful UV rays that cause aging, while
rejuvenating lips so that they actually become more youthful.

Blistex Natural Cooling Comfort made my lips tingle
|
Summertime at the beach and icy lemonade that leaves your lips cool and sweet… these are the exact memories that came to my mind when I first applied
Blistex Natural Cooling Comfort.
This
USDA certified organic and 100% natural
lip balm is the first of its kind from
Blistex, the “first natural product to contain an external analgesic in a tube applicator” and the first yummy smelling organic lip balm I have ever tried. I often notice that natural products have a funny, musty smell, but
Blistex Natural Cooling Comfort smells like fresh lemons and feels ultra light on your lips – as if they don’t have any product on them at all.
The
all-organic ingredients include
aloe, jojoba and
pomegranate for natural
moisturizing, which are blended with
olive leaf, grape seed oil and
apricot oil to
invigorate and
nourish chapped lips while relieving them of any pain.
Both
Blistex Lip Massage™ and
Blistex Natural Cooling Comfort™ with be available for purchase by the public in
October at most
food, drug and mass merchandise stores nationwide.

With so many fabulous options (not to mention
affordable), I have decided to keep a different
Blistex lip balm in each of my favorite purses, my makeup case, my gym bag and my car – hey, a busy gal can never be too prepared... right?!
