If it ain’t broke, why fix it? Chapstick has been one of my favorite lip balms for decades (yes, I AM that old) but the new True Shimmer Summer Flavors are leaving my pout with shine and taste.
The new True Shimmer flavors are:
Botanical Berry - a berrylicious feast for your lips plus the usual emollience we’ve come to know and love about Chapstick.
Tropical - think of it as fruit punch for your pout.
Peppermint Rush – The name says it all. This will hit stores August 2009.
Blended Fruit Sherbert - One of my favorite flavors, this one feels like you’re about to eat sorbet.
The True Shimmer balms really do provide a hint of shine. But the best part, for me, is the long lasting moisturization. Nothing beats Chapstick —well, Smith’s Rosebud Salve comes darn close — and I have always carried a stick in my purse ever since I was 12.
So these sticks, which retail for only $2.79, are going to help me combat summer dryness all season long.
I often use lip balm as a base layer before applying lipstick and even lip gloss, and the shimmer helps make my lippies stand out (neat trick).
Get yours at drugstores everywhere PRONTO. Seriously, they are THAT good.

I haven’t tried the True Shimmers yet but I think I’ll try the Blended Fruit Sherbert.
