Strictly lip balm

KarenC725 · #1 02-05-2002, 04:46 PM

I know there was a make-up thread but there were only a few lip balm entries. Sorry, decided to start a new thread.

I'm not a lipstick person but my lips get chapped easily so I have to put something on them. I loved softlips but its getting harder to find the flavor i liked plus, the boyfriend cannot stand the taste or smell of it. Kinda puts a kink in the nice good-night kiss.

So, any good lip balm recommendations?

I use chaptstick, either the Cherry flavored or the blue one. I only wear lipstick when going out or when I need to look presentable.

Avon makes great lip balm that comes in flavors that actually taste pretty good. I believe that are called Flavo-Savers????? (Someone PLEASE correct me if I am wrong!) They are only about $.99 and they have a hint of color that matches the slight flavor. My favorite is the Strawberry.

Also, prada has some good conditioning lip balm that doesn't have a "taste" to it as well.

I love Cherry Chapstick and Neutrogena's stick lip balm

I think best one, hands down, is Burt's Bees.

carmex--it's kinda stinky but works wonders!

Burt's Bees is the best. Its all natural - and really relieves chapped lips without starting an addiction. It has peppermint oil in it among other things and gives a great tingle

I love the tingle!

Burt's Bees!!!

Soft Lips in Mint!!

There is one that Banana Republic makes- it has an orange flavor, it's great too!

Try Smith's Rosebud Salve...it's nothing short of awesome. I also like plain ol' Vaseline petroleum jelly (in the jar).

i am now into what I believe is my sixth week of being on Accutane, and I feel like I've tried every lip balm on the market. Favorites: Blistex medicated lip balm, which smells NASTY and does not have sunscreen but I use it when I'm at home and it works very well, and Chapstick Lip Moisturizer SPF 15. And of course anything made by Neutrogena is wonderful.

Ohhhh I NEED to try that stuff from Banana Republic, I am a BR addict! but I'm a BROKE BR addict so I haven't been there in quite some time.

KappaStarGirl: You're quite welcome; TOLD ya it's good!

Newbie: You mentioned Rosebud Salve once on another thread and I have been DYING to try it but I can't find it anywhere!

The big irony is that you can get in California, yet I live in Maryland where the stuff is made and I can't!!!

Vaseline is better than everything. Very cheap too.

I started just putting some on right before I went to sleep every night and that solved almost every chapped lip problem I ever had. Rarely need chapstick. They also make a vaseline lip balm tube that is easier (and more socially acceptable

) to carry around.

I was on Accutane a few years ago and I tried everything. Vaseline worked best.

If you want flavored or colored stuff though, try the little tubs made by Jane's - they sell it at Walmart. Also cheap!

(can anyone tell I'm broke???)

oh my goodness, I totally love Lip Balm I can not go a day without lip balm, chapstick anything, I soo need it, I carry about 8 different kinds with me. But so far my favorite ones have been
Coco Butter Chap stick (Snoothness and softness)
Blistex :Medicated (for severly chaped lips)
Chap Stick: Lip Moisturizer (Conditioning and SPF 15)
These are my top three that work for mositure, protection and softness!
Hope that helps
