Best Lip Conditioners (any recommendations?)

[Suburban Snob]

So I just checked Neiman Marcus and they DO have the clear Prada balms back in stock. It's been forever, so yeah, check them out!

^ wow is that good? it looks so yummy, i always wanted to try it when i saw it in shops, but i ended up getting other lipbalms.

My lips do get really dry, and I've tried soooo many lipbalms. Caudalie Lip conditioner has good reviews but I found it made my lips drier after awhile, although it gave them a nice, healthy sheen for about half an hour. I've also used Burt's Bees, which I found too waxy and not really moisturing, just cooling. Palmer's cocoa butter is nice, it has spf 20 as well, but it goes off quickly and the packaging is not nice as the lipstick came out and i had to put it back inside... I've also tried Balmbalm tee tree (had rose at first, but I couldn't stand the taste of rose, so gave it to my sister, don't know if she uses it, because she found it too grainy), I loved the smell and the taste of tea tree and although it moisturises well for about an hour, it also rubs off easily, is not absorbed well and makes them drier afterwards. I recently bought Blistex MedPlus, and it looks and smells quite medicinal, but so far I thought it was the best for cracked lips, we'll see how it goes in the long run.

Has anyone tried the Neutrogena spf 20 one?

Vaseline or 8 hour cream

I use Nanak's Lip Smoothie which is $2 at the grocery story. It's really effective, no mineral oil or anything and it has SPF 10. The coconut one smells amazing.

Prada is great too, it's much more matte once it absorbs and it's tinted. However it is kind of expensive. Not as expensive as it seems since only a tiny bit is needed for an application, but still not as cheap as a big $2 tube.

Chanel soin tendre levres
it rocks!

 

[MONSTAR]

for the prada ones, they come in a pack of 8 right? how many times can you use one tube?

 

[uberprincess]

burt's beeswax

i keep them everywhere

 

[Suburban Snob]

Yes, Prada comes in a pack of 8. Each thing is called a "monodose" but you get A LOT of uses out of them - 2 weeks worth at least in each tube, IME! Well worth the price.

Lip conditioning is important because I have big lips (my best feature along with my legs) so I've tried a lot of products and agree that Rosebud Salve is fantastic (If I want "natural" I just wear this, it lends a soft, pink colour that's really nice). However, I use Nivea hand cream that you buy in tiny round tins and I put that on my lips before bed...

I can't stand glossy lip shades and always wear matte which can dry out lips pretty quickly so I know and if dry, cracked, or chapped lips are problems for any of you just use Nivea creme!

^ Thank you, I'm going to try that, as I have pot, but don't use it, because I found it too thick.
Yves Rocher is also nice, they have a strawberry one, which also makes your lips red

I think Mac lip conditioner ( the tube ) is great, i swear by it ever since ... forever now, also the limited edition tinted ones are good too, much more moisturizing compare the normal ones with SPF 15 , try try MAC !

OMG Khiel's lip balm. I can't stress this enough. In England it's definitely pricier than other brands but it's sooo worth it. I love my tub I carry it everywhere. If you have chapped lips it'll be gone b4 u kno it and if not then it just keeps them smooth and fabulous.

I suggest eight our cream by Elisabeth Arden or Kiehls lip balm

I tell you, I swear by 8 hour cream. I was a counter Manager on Arden a couple of years ago. At that time we had the 8 hour cream in Oz jars! It was cheap too. I believe 13 dollars a jar. When I got to a meeting about upcoming items coming out. We were told that they were discontinuing the product in the jars, and it would only be in tubes. I bought a **** load of it in the jars. Do you know that stuff doesn't go bad, and I'm still working on a jar. I've given some away as gifts. I use it for lips elbows, knees etc. It's also wonderful for burns as well. It was originally created during the war for burn victims. It's an amazing product.

I used to swear by Kiehl's Baby Lip balm but it went bad on me and stunk like old elmer's glue. So I tossed it and bought Dr. Bronner's on a whim at Target. It smells medicinal and herbal at first but the peppermint smell is all I can smell now. Not greasy at all which is nice or waxy, and its doing a great great job at keep my lips soft and moisturized. I think it was 2.99, which is also a lot cheaper than Kiehls. Plus I like that this has no parabens or animal products (the baby balm from Kiehls has lanolin in it).

i wanna try MAC Lip Conditioner in squeeze tube. just for those moments when i dont wanna wear lip gloss. i love lustre glass because its moisturizing for me. if i dont leave the house i dont use anything but once im outside or in some heavily ac-ed place i need something on my lips!

Badger lip balm is the best I've ever tried! Its ingredients are organic and include EVOO, castor oil and beeswax. It comes in flavours like Chai Rose, Pink Grapefruit and Cinnamon. What I like the most about these is that its solid in the tin/stick, but goes on like a thin oil. It soaks into the lips, not like other lip balms that just sit on top like a greasy coating and you can really feel the difference

I must say that the Nuxe lip balm has saved my life. It's doesn't contain mineral oils or vaseline. It's pure beeswax and vegetable oils. It dosn't get oily when you apply it and it isn't shiny and greasy, it's matte and non-sticky. I've had the most painfully dry lips - so dry that they ended up bleeding - and Nuxe helped my lips in two days to heal faster and now I don't have dry lips anymore.
