FREE EOS Lipbalm (Seriously, you know I’m all over this one!)

If you're new here, you may want to have these bargains delivered right to your email or subscribe via RSS feed. If you are new to couponing, check out my series the "15 days of Couponing." Thanks for visiting!

EOS LipbalmAnyone who has met me for even a nano second knows I have a lipbalm “issue.” I consider myself a connoisseur of sorts in this realm. So this freebie is especially cool to me because as part of our “swag” at Blogher 2009, we were given a EOS sweet mint lipbalm. Let me tell ya, this stuff is GOOD. Plus it is packaged in a little sphere or as  my littlest one calls it an egg. Oh and did I mention, my “egg” now has teeth marks in it from said child!

My only complaint is that it is really hard to fit in your pocket. It is more of a purse lipbalm. Other than that, it goes on smooth, has a good “taste” to it, and it is easy to open. You also will NOT waste your lipbalm by it getting all mushed up in the top cap. Does that happen to anyone else? Anyway, I highly recommend this stuff. The only drawback is that is it $3.99/spehere. However, you can get a discount on Amazon by buying in bulk – just $2.99/sphere.

It is also 95% organic, petrolatum and paraben free. Plus, it has all sorts of good stuff in it that makes your lips feel smooth.

Anyway, onto the FREEBIE. You can visit EOS to request your FREE sweet mint smooth sphere. Let me know what you think!

Thanks Frugal is Fab!

My addiction

by Briana Carter on August 5, 2008 · 4 comments

Okay, for those of you who know me well, or even just a little bit, I’m sure you know of my addiction. I have a serious problem. I can’t quit. I don’t want to quit. I will never quit. They will pry this out of my cold dead hands before I will give it up. Seriously. I had to have it while in labor or any other conceivable time in my life. Yep, I kept an extra one in my soccer shinguard/sock thing while I was playing. I would whip it out before a free kick, throw in, any type of small break in the game! It was more important to me than liquids. Nope, no water break, just slap some goods on my lips. I feel jittery if I don’t have one in my hands. So I would pay any price for this item. Any price. Though, I still LOVE to find a great bargain on it.

Sooooooo…….I found a great sale on some lip balm. YAY! Marsh has a 3 (yes I said 3) pack of Blistex Fruit Smoothies on sale for 5/$5. This works out to around .33/each. You can’t get that even at the Dollar Store. The cheapest I can find there is a brand that I kind of like for .50/each. So to find a brand name lip balm for .33/each…man, its stock up time. (too bad there wasn’t a coupon out there for this!!!)

And no, my daughter did not think I was crazy when I bought 10 of them and said I would be going back for more tomorrow. She asked why didn’t you get more? and this: Mommy, how many do you go through a day? It is really hard to tell. I lose so many of them, sometimes they get sucked up in the washer/dryer, sometimes kids think it is a tasty snack, I dunno where they all go. Maybe if I only had one I would take care not to lose them. So, I have to use a couple a week?? Maybe more?

Now that I’m “grown” up, I have moved on from the more juvenile “flavors”. I don’t like the Bonnie Bell products anymore (I loved this in high school – my soccer fire up buddy – Krissi L – bought me like a whole sack of them – it was one of the greatest gifts ever!!!) because they dry out my lips and make them funky colors. I really prefer just plain Chapstick brand or plain Blistex brand because they don’t turn my lips blue or red or glittery or anything. They are just normal. Those are my favorites but I do like the Blistex fruit smoothies so it is a good stock up for me.

So now ya’ll know my problem if you didn’t before. I’m sure there are more of you out there.

So here’s my loot:
