3 Things : Favorite Lip Balm

It’s dry in these parts during this time of the year, so I don’t go anywhere without a tube, or three, of lip balm.
I think of lip balm, and instantly “My lips hurt real bad” comes to mind. I know. I’m like five.
But they do hurt, and if I don’t have a good lip balm at the ready, it seems like that’s all I can think about until it’s remedied.
As far as lip balms go, I have a slew that I use. For real, I just counted 9 in my possession. I’m not obsessed. It’s just that for me, lip balm is a necessity, and for some reason when I’m out and about, I tend to misplace it, so I get another, and another, then another, and all of a sudden I have a wonderful stockpile of lip balm. I’d choose a good lip balm any day over a pair of fancy shoes. I kid you not.
Anyway, I try to keep them handy in all kinds of places: the car, my purse, my makeup case, my nightstand, next to the sink, my coat pocket, the desk drawer—anywhere that I may find myself feeling kind of parched. Even though I like all of them, and use all of them, today I want to share three of my current favorite ones with you.
3 Things : Lip Balm
Aquaphor Lip Repair: It’s not just for babies bottoms, Aquaphor makes a super lip repair in a mini squeeze tube. I like it.
Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm: Burt and his bees makes some good stuff, and this tinted lip balm is one of them. Get rid of dry lips and make em pretty at the same time. The “Rose” tint is nice.
Neutrogena’s Norwegian Formula Lip Moisturizer: I can’t tell you how many tubes of this I’ve been through. That Norwegian formula line from Neutrogena is tried and true, and the lip moisturizer is a keeper.
Please share your favorites too! I’m always in the market for another tube of great lip balm. You can’t have too many, ya know?

I neglect my lips often, so it’s a good thing when I can find a lip balm that I want to reach for. I’ll have to give yours a try.
I’ve recently jumped on the eos bandwagon. (I just learned that means “evolution of smooth”.) I have never had a lip balm stay on so long. I reach for it and then realize I don’t need it yet! This is the flavor I’ve tried:

I want to stock up on all the others, too. Plus it’s a fun spherical shape and only $2.99 at Target!
I love the sugar one from the Fresh company at Sephora. It’s expensive so I have only the free sample I got at my birthday last year. It smells so good! And it’s so smooth. The one in the brown tube has this amazing lemon scent. And it has SPF.
I love Aquaphor! It’s my go-to lip moisturizer in the winter!
Despite it’s horribly misleading name: Rosebud Perfume Co.’s Strawberry Lip Balm. It’s not cheap ($7 a tub @ Sephora) and you need to use a finger to put it on, but I cannot live with out them (and they actually last a really long time – I’ll get to that later). I buy them in bulk (ok, not quite, but close!) so that I can always have one: on my desk at work, in my purse, in my car (watch out in warm weather – it will melt), next to my bed, in my bathroom, and at my desk at home. If I had a bigger apartment I would probably own more (when we used to own our house I had a few on each level of the house…). Anyway, the stuff is gold and the only one I’ve ever had that I only need to use a few times a day to stay moisturized (hence the not horrible price, they last so much longer than any other type I’ve ever used). I find with other brands I tend to have to use it pretty much constantly or else my lips start to crack.
Hey Amanda!
I’m going to have to try to find that today. I just so happen to be headed to the mall! It’s on the list!
I PANIC if I am traveling and realize that I did not pack lip balm. Lips must not be naked!!!
My current fave:
Smith’s Minted Rose Lip Balm…it comes in a little round tin rather than a tube.
I too love the Burts Bees tinted lip balm. Try the hibiscus color 🙂
I live Burt’s Bees too but my absolute favorite is Jack Black’s intense therapy lip balm. I haven’t found anything better! Yes, it’s a men’s product but don’t let that deter you!
