Lip Balm! What's your go-to?

[Imbri]

I am a Burt's Bees girl, no question about it. There's always one on my night stand, by my chair in the living room, and right now I have 3 in my purse (flavor options, y'know?). A few favorites are Mint Cocoa, Salted Caramel, Pumpkin Spice, and Ginger Spice.

I love the different flavors, of course, but I don't wear lipstick/gloss, so these work best at keeping my lips from chapping.

Anyone else love balms? Which ones are your favorites?

I don’t really use lip balms anymore. The area where I live is very mild during winter, so I don’t need to worry about chapped lips. Lotion on the other hand has gone up. I get very staticky during this time of the year.

Anyway, the brand of lip balm doesn’t matter to me. They all feel the same to me. For scents, I used to get cherry or pomegranate. When Lip Smackers still sold the Dr. Pepper lip balm, I would buy that one.

Burt's Bees and Chapstick are the two I like that I use. But I use these for daily wear or protection from the wind.

As far as actually healing chapped/stinging lips, I use Neutrogena Norwegian Formula cream. That stuff is magic.

 

[.: Meri :.]

I just use plain Chapstick, no flavors or tints. As long as it keeps my lips from chapping, I'm good. ^^ I might have to try the Burt's Bees kind though! I keep hearing good things about it.

Trader Joe's get's a 6 pack around Christmas, has flavors like almond, green tea, watermelon - it's great and lasts me all year. I think it's around $6

I always use the traditional type of Vaseline, but I do love the 'Gold Dust' variation. It puts a just enough gold sparkle on your lips without being overpowering!

i was an Eos gal in middle & high school. i just use either burts bees or carmex now. depends on whats in stock, its hard to find burts bees this time of year with the cold weather so carmex is usually the only one i can find.

I'm also a fan of Burt's Bees for everyday use - their cucumber mint flavor specifically.

If my lips are severely cracked or dry from the cold, I always use J.R. Watkins Medicated Ointment. Amazing stuff.

I prefer EOS which is egg shaped if it's available when I need buy some. It's harder for me to lose when it is that awkward shape. Bert's bees can be fun sometimes because of the shimmer and coloring in many of them but I'm not a huge fan, so I haven't bought more(and Im not missing it). I do have/use Chapstick (brand) simply cuz it is common and cheap. And there is often a lot of flavors to choose from. EOS I can't always find or if I hate the only flavor that is available, I'll skip on it.

That's all I go for.

I prefer the plain chapsticks with no scents or flavours, like berts bees or there's a decent blistex one. My lips are terribly addicted to chapstick and I haven't gone a day without it in years.

 

[Croconaw]

Chapstick is my goto. I always carry one since my lips chap easily. I’m addition, I also like to carry Carmex cold sore ointment. I prefer being prepared in case I get a cold sore. For chapstick, I like the standard cherry flavor.

 

[Foreverfox]

I have mint flavored Curology lip balm that I LOVE. Before that, green tea mint Chapstick.

 

[Newbiemayor]

I usually keep chapstick on hand but I don't use it often altho I expect to have to use it more as winter approaches. My favorite flavor is cherry but sometimes I have the regular one.

 

[Beanz]

i dont use chapstick much but the one i've been using is sun bum (can't remember which flavor.) carmex is also really good even tho it doesn't have a flavor (well i don't use chapstick for the flavor anyway lol) it's helped me when i've had extremely chapped lips before.

nothing fancy, but i alternate between o’keeffe’s cooling effect lip repair lip balm, and vaseline’s cocoa butter lip therapy. my lips are rlly dry/cracked no matter what season it is or how hydrated i am (i also have a lip picking habit ), so i focus less on flavours and scents and more on the effectiveness of the product.

o’keeffe’s is flavourless, but it does smell minty. it’s nice, and i like the product for its cooling effect. it’s especially nice when my lips are irritated. the vaseline lip therapy one is the best at dealing with the dryness, though, plus it smells heavenly.

 

[Peach_Jam]

vaseline lip therapy in rosy lips been using this stuff for years and it never fails me. plus the little tub is so cute.

I don't really use lip balm unless I need to, but I like the regular carmex. I get chapped lips pretty easily when it's cold/dry out and carmex works really well

 

[JellyBeans]

i am a big burt's bees fan, but usually on black friday i treat myself to the three pack of glossier balms which i love. my only issue with them is sometimes i wish i just had a regular stick lip balm (if that's the right word for it lol) instead having to squeeze it out of a tube all the time

My favorite was always cherry and strawberry chapstick till my orthodontist gave me one of these and now they are definitely my favorite:
