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!

Love,
