carmex, kiehls, burts bees, regular chapstick, and rosebud salve lip balm does not work on me. I think that the lip balms with the most hype seem to suck, but maybe that's because my lips are extremely chapped/and bleed most of the time. i'm thinking about just going ahead and buying the Nuxe reve de miel balm but i really hate spending so much money on such a small jar.
my lips used to be chapped all the time as a kid and
NOTHING worked. even my grandpa
used to apply
Vaseline to my lips while i slept because i refused to wear it during the day, too greasy for my liking. for some reason, now im like the only person i know who wears lip conditioners the least. if i go out i just put on
MAC Lustreglass before the leave the house, let it wear off gradually during the day and even if i wipe it off during dinner out or something my lips will be perfectly fine. its like a barrier for right when you leave the house to protect you from the elements of the outside world!
i used
Carmex only when i have colds and im blowing the moisture right out of my nose. i think
Carmex works well if you use it every once and a while for super strong repair but not too often or it looses its effectiveness(thats how it is for me).
i had
Jack Black lipbalm which has cute packaging, nice minty tasting, and nice texture but
didnt work so i tossed that out recently(had it in my makeup box for a while, i think ive had it for a couple/few years).
i bought
MAC Lip Conditioner in squeeze tube because i used to wear MAC lipglasses and i swear sometimes i got a bad batch that was incredibly sticky but this time i repurchases one of my faves
MAC Cultured Lipglass and it really feels quite nice on so i dont need the
MAC L.C. underneath and because it thins out the color too much. the
MAC L.C. will be used on moments i dont want to wear gloss like when im giving a kiss
