NEW Product: Blistex Lip Medex

Brand: Blistex

Name: Lip Medex
Price: $3.99 CAD

Product Notes:
I know what you’re thinking – “This isn’t a new product!” and you’re right it isn’t, but just today I was in a Shoppers Drug Mart to pick up a jar of Blistex Lip Medex when I saw that it now comes in STICK FORM. It might not be a very new product, but nonetheless I was very excited to find it.

This product is used to “Relieve Sore Lips & Restore Moisture Balance” and boy does it.

A few years ago I started getting allergy symptoms in my lips! They would swell a bit & feel very itchy and raw. I tried everything, but the only thing that soothes it and helps the dryness & irritable feelings is Blistex’s Lip Medex.

Now that it’s in stick form I can carry it in my bag easily & apply it without worrying about germs on my hands!

The Sunday Saver

Happy Sunday readers!

As I constantly tweak Cinnamon Kitten to make it a better blog for everyone, I started thinking about the reasons I started the blog and one of them was to help readers get the best for their money when buying beauty products!

With that in mind, I've created "The Sunday Saver" series. Every Sunday I'm going to post a bunch of current deals and promotions - be it current Bonus Time deals, Gift with Purchase promotions or codes to get discounts/free products. Some of the deals will have links, while others will just have details.

"The Sunday Surfer" series is now renamed as "The Beauty Surfer" and will be posted randomly throughout the month, as opposed to only on Sundays.

I hope you find The Sunday Saver useful! If you've deals/promotions that I can include, please email them to me or post them in the comments!

NEW Product: Sephora Beauty Insider Rewards Program

Store: Sephora
Name: Beauty Insider Rewards Program
Price: Free to join

Notes:
I try (key word being “try”) not to get roped up in to TOO many rewards program type things, because I just can’t keep up with all my cards, but a while back I joined the Beauty Insider Program at Sephora. I thought I’d share a few of the highlights of the program:

- It’s easy to sign-up – just visit your local Sephora, or sign up online.
- You get a free gift on your birthday.
- You collect Beauty Bank Dollars every time you spend money at Sephora. For every $100 Beauty Bank Dollars you earn, you can receive an exclusive sample.
- You get access to limited edition products!

For more details visit http://www.sephora.com/ or your local Sephora store.
