Around late fall, the weather starting getting colder, and my lips apparently did not like it. My lips became really dry, could barely retain any type of moisture, were starting to crack, and hurt. I got to the point that I couldn't take it any more, and realized that nothing in my lippy arsenal worked. Even my beloved EOS. So I set out to spend a bit of money, and find something to help.
1. Carmex
Carmex is made for dry and cracking lips. It also tastes horrible and is very sticky & thick, BUT works when applied at night.
Honestly, I didn't think this was going to work. But I bought it anyways. And it was amazing. I loved that it felt like a minty lip balm (due to the hint of eucalyptus) and it also comes in several different colors. Kind of a way to make yourself feel pretty when your lips feel horrible.
3. Lypsyl Ultra Lip Balm Chamomile & Honey
After trying over five different lip balm products, I now swear by this. It tastes great, and really soothes my lips. Plus it lasts! *bonus: it's not tested on animals.
Don't let the name turn you off, it's a great lip product. It's as thick as the Carmex, but doesn't taste as bad, and works almost immediately. *bonus: it's a multi-purpose product, meaning you can use it on your cuticles, split ends, even diaper rash and so much more.
5. Burt's Bees Vanilla Bean Moisturizing Lip Balm
I love Burt's Bees anytime of the year, but during the cold, it seems as if the beeswax creates a barrier and I am so happy that it does. It tastes good and protects my lips at the same time.

What cold weather lippies do you swear by in the winter time?
Oo I need to pick up that Dr.Lipp thing, love that it has multiple uses. I have been using the Burt's Bees Pomegrante lip balm and loooove it! Great picks!

I keep seeing the Baby Lips and wanting to try it out. Maybe next time I'm out I'll pick some up :)
ReplyDeleteI received a Dr. Lipp sample in a birchbox sometime in the last few months and was very impressed. I've been using it since I got it. Plus it seems to last forever!
ReplyDeleteYAYYY, you got Disqus!! Now I can comment when I read your blog at work. I haven't heard of Dr. Lipp before, I'll have to check it out - I'm always on the hunt for a new lip balm.
ReplyDelete:) You can get the Dr. Lipp from Birchbox. It's a great product. Good for at night.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good cold weather product! I'm debating on spending the money for the full size though...
ReplyDeleteIt's cheap and a good product. My favorite thing is that the Dr. Rescue has multiple colors. So basically you can look good and medicate your dried out lips at the same time. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks hun! I love that Burt's Bees is all natural and they don't do animal testing. They also have a great line of skincare products!
ReplyDeleteMmmm.... pomegranate sounds yummy! You should pick it up! It's on Birchbox. :)
