Over the past few years, in addition to developing a huge haircare "habit," I've also become a lip balm junky. And I say this in the most sincere way, because seriously...I find myself in a panic if I am without balm! It's getting insane!
A friend of mine once said the best product to use is just pure vaseline...so on her rec I keep a small container of it bedside and I LOVE it. It's really the best thing and it should be enough to just put some one at night and then let your lips recover during your sleep. But...I have bought into all the "hype" concerning lip treatment...My god...I have tried everything:
Kiehls- was the wonder balm a few years ago and my mom still swears by it.
Carmex- my friend tells me this is the devils balm! NEVER use it, because it dries out your lips and makes you like me, dependant on lip treatments
Soft lips- so pretty and dainty and damn good, but I just can't stick with it for some reason.
Blistex-someone told me to try this because it's not goopy, but shit, it's so slimy and well tastes terrible and i feel like I'm putting white paste on my lips
Aveeno lip treatment- This stuff was pretty cool until it started getting all seedy...very gross and had to be thrown out.
Bigelows My fav lip balm- I really like this stuff,but I'm almost done with the pot and I don't feel like it really helps you know?
Bigelows Rose Salve- The WORST. Dried out my lips so bad!
Burt's Bees Beesewax lip balm- I still have a stick on this in almost every bag I carry...it's a nice breath freshener when you need it:)
LUSH lip balms- Fantastic! A little thick but once it's on, you're all set for the day...
These are some of the balms I've used recently and if I insulted one your favorites, I'm so sorry, I'd totaly be willing to try it again!
I just think it's crazy that I have spent so much money on freakin lip balm!
Oh! and on my trip I used Chapstick's Ultra 30 balm...yuck~! I mean really people! It was so bitter in my mouth I wanted to spit, and well, I just don't do that.
And these are only the balms...I don't even want to get into the amount of lip gloss I own...not normal...hehehe...

i'm like you in that i've tried everything out there. carmex is my chapstick of choice right now until i can get up to atlanta to get what is my all favorite. it's trish mcevoy's luxe moisture balm spf 15. it's heavenly!
it can be used for your eyes and cuticles as well, but i only use it for lips.
it is $28 per tube. while it seems like a lot, it's worth it. my friend who works in the Trish department at saks said it should last for at least a year. it lasted me 2 months b/c i used it all the time. it's really great and doesn't dry out your lips like those with menthol in them.
try it, you won't be sorry!!
Thanks for the tip!I'll def look into it.
hey, you should definitely try Smith's Rosebud Salve, get it at Sephora or Ricky's, it's insanely amazing
I live by Kiehls! I also love Blistex Complete Moisture. oh yeah!
(I'm addicted, too)
