My current obsession? Lip balms. Or lip butters, or whatever you want to call them! Basically, something that keeps my lips soft and smooth and hydrated all year round. I do aim on collecting the whole of the lip balm shelf in Boots by the end of 2011 lol!
This is where I store my lip balms. These drawers come in a set of 4 and were from Wilkinsons I do believe and were around the £5 mark.
First up are my Vaselines. I think I have every tinned Vaseline type (if I don't, please do let me know).
On the top row from left to right is Aloe Vera, Original, Rosy Lips and then on the bottom row left to right is SPF 15 and Cocoa Butter. When I heard Cocoa Butter was being released, I ran to Boots and got it the day it came out - shocking I know! My least favourite is Aloe Vera just because I'm not a fan of the taste and my favourite is SPF 15 in Summer and then the Rosy Lips. But they're all wonderful :)
Top Row L-R Lip Butter Papaya, Lip Butter Sweet Lemon. Bottom Row L-R Lip Balm Cool Mint, Lip Balm Watermelon.
These are all from the Body Shop. I'm not a fan of the lip butters because I think they're a bit thick and then I don't think the lip balms are moisturising enough. But all they taste lovely!
Top Row L-R Vitamin Water in Dragonfruit, Liz Earle Superbalm. Bottom Row L-R Carmex Original, Chapstick Cherry and Strawberry.
I love the Vitamin Water one, it tastes lovely and is incredibly moisturising. Next time I'm Boots, I'm going to try and different flavour. The Liz Earle Superbalm isn't just for the lips and a full review of this will be appearing this weekend so keep an eye out! I love Carmex, I'm not a fan of the taste but it's the one that works the best on chapped lips. As for the Chapsticks, they smell and taste beautiful and are pretty moisturising. I normally wear these under my lipstick.
What are your favourite lip balms? Any recommendations?
