Lip Balm Favorites

I feel like everybody has problems with chapped lips now and again. I have this problem almost every day. In order to wear lipstick your lips have to "get in shape" first - so I have tried out a lot of lip balms and here is a comparison of my top three.

Maybelline Baby Lips in Peach Kiss
In Germany you can only buy four different versions of the Maybelline Baby Lips. This one does have a peach tint to it (and a little shimmer) but you can hardly see that when you apply it. I like the look it gives to my lips though. I feel like it enhances the natural look of your lips however I do not think anybody but yourself will notice that. Another thing I enjoy about this product is the smell. It is fruity and undeniably artificial but not overwhelming. It is not the most nurturing lip balm ever but it does help.

Carmex Classic
If your lips are truly lacking moisture and are chapped all the time I find nothing to help like Carmex does! I LOVE this stuff. My boyfriend hates the scent but I actually like it. There are different "kinds" of Carmex but I like this one (the original out of the pot) the best. The downside to that is of course that you have to apply it with your finger. When I am out and about I therefore like using other products like the Maybelline Baby Lips but every morning and every evening I put Carmex on my lips. Well, sometimes I forget to... and regret it the next day.

eos lip balm in cranberry
This one I got for my birthday. Eos lip balms are ridiculously hard to get and expensive where I live so it is fair to say that I never ever would have bought this for myself. Therefore I am even happier to receive it as a gift. The smell is amazing and I just love the packaging. Out of the three it is definitely the best looking one. It feels more "waxy" on your lips which is nice because that makes it very smooth without being sticky.

I like them all - that's why they are my favorites. What is your secret weapon against chapped lips? Please let me know, I want to try out new things!

February Favorites 2014

It is the end of the month and that means it is time for favorites! I had a really stressful time this February which is why I did not bother to wear more make up than the usual concealer and mascara. That's why this moth there are no real beauty makeup favorites but skin care and random ones.

My skin was going crazy this month! It just got really dry and generally bad :(
What helped with that were the Weleda Skin Food and the Balea hydrating eye cream. I did a review on the Weleda Skin Food earlier this month after just using it for a week and promised an update in my February favorites  post, so here it is: I still love it and would repurchase it over and over again!

I got the eos lip balm in cranberry for my birthday and will soon do a review on that. But it is in my favorites this month so I gues you can already tell I like it very much ;)

Allegiant is the third book in the Divergent series by Veronica Roth. I have not been ready a lot in the last month which is why I have not finished it yet (no spoilers please!). I am not good at book reviews so all I will say is that this series is definitely worth reading. Because I have not been readying for the last year in general I set a reading challenge on Good Reads for myself. Good Reads is an amazing website for book lovers! You can rate books, keep track of what you want to read in the future and check out reading lists of other people! I spent way to much time on there....

Guess what I got for Valentine's day? - Right! Taylor Swift's first album. I have been listening to this a lot. You can check out what else I listen to this month in my Spring Playlist post from last week. Another song that totally got stuck in my head this moth was this one:

Acapella by Karmin

On to my two last favorites. The first one has to be Pull&Bear. I love that shop and if I could I would by almost every single piece in their store o.o The other one are my cream white rose studs. I bought them last year in the sale so you will not find these exact ones anymore but you can get rose studs everywhere. I wore these almost every single day.

Do you have a Good Reads account? If so let me know in the comments :)

Thank you to everyone who ever reads one of my posts <3
