Vaseline- I got told that it isn't that good for your lips, but I still use it!!
Pros: It keeps your lips moist without being sticky.
Cons:Rubs off easily.
I usually put lip gloss over it, I don't like lipstick at all! It's too dry.

as if vaso is bad for your lips. i used to be known as the lip gloss queen. i used so much of it. but ive used vaseline LIP therapy (its meant for your lips, how can it be bad), for years now and my lips are fiiiinnee.
Yay!! Go the Paw Paw cream - I have a little tub next to my bed and one in my drawers - its such a good all over balm and carry a tube in my bag all the time. Blistex is great - it was the best thing to protect my lips during HSC Music Performances etc. as being a woodwind player meant that it would always get flaked/dry really easily.kathelle said:
Gloss is ok for going out, but usually not something I prefer. Same for lip-stick.
I like stains, but have yet to find a good one. I find that a combination of stain/balm would be the best - a little colour and enough shine/protection to keep your lips looking good.

To be perfectly honest i put on a soft layer of lipstick... and then put a lip gloss over the top.
but that lip therapy stuff is thinner than vaseline in a tub, i don't like it as much. i think the thing about vaseline being bad for your lips is a rumour (wishful thinking maybeShell said:
)in order of use:
1. balm
love this because it's moisturising and comes in fun flavours.
i use this the most. But at the moment have been using gloss just as much because I don’t like a lot of the balms I have tried – most of the supermarket ones like blistex, nivea don't seem to be anything special for dry lips. i want to try the body shop body butter balms, i have tried the fruity ones but they come off so quickly. I love the softlips flavours
2. gloss
i use this almost as often as balm at the moment. i love it because there is only a hint of colour, if any colour at all. some of them have great staying power.
3. lipstick
i never use this. i don' t like the 'old' feeling that goes with lipstick, but maybe i haven't found any good ones yet. i don't like using colour much either.
4. lip tint
i have never tried this. as above, i don't use much colour, so this wouldn't have much use for me.

Occasionally I wear lipstick, but otherwise, lip balm by a mile - especially in winter. I am in love with Lush Chocolate Whipstick lip balm - it's choc orange flavoured and sooooooo moisturising.
I'm a gloss person, if you choose the right one, then it wouldnt go flacky... or anything ^___^v
I use the Clinique Superbalm tinted lip treatment (look like a gloss, works like a gloss, but is a balm and lip and a treatment) and I use the new nivea lip care, the caregloss & shine!!
its really good~

Lip Balm! It soothes sore, dry, yucky lips. Plus it can give off a cute lil shine

Lip Balm! (Vitamin E from the Body Shop) I have like a million tubes around the house. Also, I'm the biggest Vaseline addict! I don't like the nivea lip care range much - its toooo rigid.
I'm not much of a Lip Gloss fan - I prefer light coloured matte lipsticks (YSL!)
Ahh - the Clinique tubey thing is realllly good

Shutup!...that's why
I use moisturiser on my lips, and to remove dead lip/dry lips, I use a toothbrush on my lips....really lightly and only for a bit. Otherwise you cut your lip an dit bleeds and hurts. But if you do it right you have smooth lips. Dont do it everyday if you do it.
Yep.glitterfairy said:Is there anyone else here who keeps a lipgloss/lip balm/whatever in every single handbag to ensure they'll never be without?
I am in Germany at the moment (arrived late Saturday night) and have already brought about eight lip glosses to add to the collection.
