'Tis The Season For New Holiday Flavors
Softlips^® has been a lip balm of choice among young women for more than 20 years, bringing consumers the flavors they crave. This holiday season, Softlips^® is proud to introduce two new lip balms that were selected by fans on Facebook. Softlips^® Jack Frosting, featuring the festive flavor of buttercream frosting, was the winner of the Flavor Faceoff, a contest conducted on Facebook in June 2012. Softlips^® Peppermint Stick, another Flavor Faceoff favorite, offers a classic candy cane taste and comes in a unique, red and white striped stick. Softlips^® Jack Frosting will be available to consumers in a festive two-pack, while Softlips^® Peppermint Stick will be paired with the best-selling Softlips^® Pearl Tint.
