Lip balms (2 Viewers)

Which ones are good and which ones are crap?

I've tried:

Nivea - nothing amazing
Burts Bee - overhyped
Palmer's Cocoa Butter lip balm - I like it
Blistex - does its job but boring
Lip Smackers - old time favourite but I can't find Blueberry or Strawberry Kiwi comet anymore

Has anyone tried Carmex? Is it any good or is it kind of like Vaseline?

nivea <3
vaseline
lip smackers are/were yum lol

blistex and avon ones do nothing for me. they make my lips crack.

I used to have Softlips in Iced Cappuccino flavor. It smells heavenly!

And who could forget the classic Vaseline, it's pretty good.

Lip Smackers - preferably vanilla or Coca Cola. I found a marshmallow flavoured one once which was great.
Urban Rituelle - Lip Balms | Urban Rituelle I have the peaches and cream one which isn't on the website but is absolutely awesome.
I've also bought a lip balm from this lady on Etsy Handmade Soaps Vegan Bars Lip Balms and by KreatedbyKarina which was pretty good.

its horribly expensive for a lipbalm but the only REALLY AMAZING lipbalm i've ever used are mac's tinted lip conditioners. i get them sent from america and they're about $14 each, but absolutely magical im not kidding

Nivea (so-so, the pearl one leaves my lips white and the strawberry one leaves them too red)
Paw paw ointment (pretty good, don't need too much)
Badger (cutest packaging, but a bit greasy)
Lip smackers (oldies but goodies)
Soft lips (smell great, but a bit thin, have to re-apply often)

BUT THE BEST IS SMITH'S ROSEBUD SALVE! Smells great, cute packaging, good consistency, works well. About $13 from www.adorebeauty.com.au

I have been using The Body Shop ones. May not be the best - but very tastey

Carmex works really well, but it tastes and smells pretty bad.

 

[Taketheatrain]

Oh, then I don't think that I'll be using it. I just like the look of the new packaging (red and yellow tube).

I've also tried the Urban Rituelle pot and it was a bit greasy for me. Tried Palmer's chocolate and peppermint lip butter and it was alright.

I've always wanted to try the Beaver one they have at DJs. Maybe I'll give it a miss.

Lip Smackers Coca Cola - tried this in both original coke and vanilla coke flavours. Liked vanilla coke better. The roll on lip gloss leaves my lips looking dull brown.

Body Shop born lippy- Omg, lime was an awesome flavour but they don't make it anymore! Tried:
Mango - disgusting
Passionfruit - really nice at first but you get sick of the sweet smell
Strawberry- meh
Watermelon- Nothing like watermelon. I don't know what they were thinking.

Ah yes! I saw this at Peter Alexander and was considering getting it but I forgot about it!

i like the pearl one, ive got pale skins so it works well.
other nivea ones smell weird. lol

 

[lonely-lass]

Not any particular I use lip gloss either.

 

[tonyharrison]

i hate using ones in a pot like body shop ones cause it gets all under your fingernails and gross.

i've used palmers dark choc + peppermind and loved it, tho some people don't like the fakish chocolate smell.

i'm using nivea strawberry and i like the reddish tinge it gives the lips.

 

[domoku]

lucas paw paw is amazing, really... doesn't have the icky smell of carmex but works just as well (or even better!)

 

[makemearedcape]

Personally, I love Burt's Bees. It seems to keep my lips soft for ages and I like how when you put it on it makes your lips tingle.

I love the smell of Body Shop Born Lippy in Strawberry.

 

[ftsklol_]

I use Burt's Bees in pomegranate. It's great.
