When it comes to lip balms, it seems like these little beauty treatments in a tube, are very personal. We all have strong opinions about the best ones. And we all become addicted to our little 'chapsticks.'
Probably the 'most popular lip balm in the country' award goes to Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm ($3.00). Everyone LOVES Burt's Bees. And why not? It's formulated with ultra-emollient lanolin, coconut oil, and sunflower oil. And you taste that peppermint tingle. M-mmm good. My friends, Paula and Alyssa, can't get enough of this beeswax lip balm. They can't live without it.
Then there is Mary. Mary Kay, that is. Satin Lips Lip Balm by Mary Kay Cosmetics ($9.50). I have acquaintenances who swear up and down, that this is THE best lip balm going. Mary Kay brags that their lip balm lasts for 6 long hours, giving your lips a non-stop moisturizing treatment.
And then, the old stand-by. Chapstick, by Chapstick. Classic Original Chapstick ($1.89). This lip balm has been around for decades, and yet, it keeps on working. With an SPF of 4, Chapstick is great under the sun and for those cold winter days. Actually, this one's my fav. The one in the black tube with the white cap. Very effective, and I love the no-taste. Whatever it is, it tastes good.
Then there are more. Like Aquaphor. Aveeno. Avon. And good old vaseline. Your lips need some kind of protective balm. Don't go outside without it.
Hey. Glad you like the Burt's Bees! It rocks my socks!
ReplyDeleteHi Alyssa:
ReplyDeletePhilip grabbed my other Burt's Bees lip balm. He says that everyone LOVES Burt's Bees. He says Carmex belonged in that list of top balms. He's been using that one for years.
Burt's Bees rules! I have one in every pocketbook, one in the bathroom, and one on my night table.
ReplyDeleteFor me, it gets top honors because there's no "drag" when you apply it, it doesn't goop up in the corners and I love the peppermint smell.
I used to use Cherry Ice by Mentholatum, but I don't see it anymore. I'm hooked on BB now.
I once read you can become addicted to having lip balm on...I think I might have a problem!
Well, now, that's a ringing endorsement of Burt's Bees, Ms. pmaria! You've got it covered!
