Strictly lip balm

[SilverTurtle]

*raises hand*
I, too, am a chapstick addict!

my recommendations:

• For very chapped lips, gotta be Blistex DCT (Daily Care Treatment)
• For chapped or dry lips Blistex in the green tube (with SPF 15, I think). If I can't find it, I'll settle for Cherry Chapstick, but I won't be too happy about it
• Daily use because your lips feel dry (but really you probably need more water as someone mentioned)... Bonne Bell! Yes, that flavored stuff from when you were a kid.
  

I have "Martian Mallow" in my pocket right now, and it even has glitter. To this day my mom's fave lip balm is Bonne Bell's Dr. Pepper, which is darn hard to find. My little's dad works for Bonne Bell, so every Christmas she brings out the list and we get to order all kinds of stuff! Like kids in a candy store with that thing!

I love lip balm. I literally have 30 things of it here.

My favorites are Burt's bees (it actually helps freshen breath too), Bonne Bell (I have every flavor, I swear), and this new kind from the Body Shop called Fruit Gloss or something. It's delicious and really moisturizing.

I would love to try Smith's Rosebud Salve....gotta figure out where to find it though!

Newbie, you are such a sweetheart!!! Yay, I'm finally gonna get my Rosebud Salve!! I have my credit card ready and am about to commence ordering. Hmmm, there are some other cool things on that site maybe worth trying.....

[newbie]

Glad to have helped, Tracy! Let me know how it goes. I did some searching on our famous Rosebud Salve...and found that it's a staple in many models'/actresses'/makeup-artists-to-the-stars' makeup bags!

Wow!

I work next door to a Pure Beauty. I think I might need an afternoon walk. Hmmm. I drive a convertible car so I use a lot of lip balm. My esthetician says that unless you are on medication you should not to use skin care products with sunscreen in them unless you are actually going to be in the sun, so I keep Chapstick with sunscreen and blistex with sunscreen in my car and keep all the others in my purse, desk and at home.

One of the women I work with has her own aromatherapy and bath product line. Her products are all natural and her lip balm is AMAZING! Her web site is www.badanbody.com. (As a side note, her soaps are my favorite!)

Newbie,
You are absolutely the sweetest. I am so excited about getting that Rosebud Salve after all this time looking for it! *BIG HUGS to you C!*

p.s. oh! Another great brand that I use here in Germany, that I know is available at high end health food places like Whole Foods, is Dr. Hauschka. I love that stuff - it seems like they have an ointment/lotion for every possible skin problem. :-)

I used to be addicted to Carmex, but then one day my boyfriend finally broke down and told me it was yucky when we kissed....so I immediately threw that away. Who wants their boyfriend to think yuck when they kiss. So, I use chapstick in the tube now. The squeezy blue one, but I can't find it anywhere usually.

Newbie!
Thanks to you providing me with the link, I am now the owner of 10 tins of Rosebud Salve that I ordered. I am already addicted! I love it; it feels soooooo nice on my lips. Not sticky at all, and it smells great!

Thanks again!
