Lip balms in a pot

I’m so into lip balms since high school.  When my lips get dry either from being exposed to low AC temperature or extreme heat, a pot of lip balm offers quick relief.

The Face Shop Fresh Lip Balm


I love the fruity flavor, particularly cherry.  When applied, it instantly moisturizes lips just like a petroleum jelly would, minus the greasy feeling and the smell.  It has Vitamin E and Jojoba Oil, The Face Shop Fresh Lip Balm is the anti-chapping protection you’ll need as. This balm gives off a shiny finish, making it perfect to top your favorite lipstick as well.  As a base, I don’t recommend this one because the makeup is somewhat thick hence lip colors can’t stay on for long. 

 Other flavors available:  Orange and Strawberry

 You may also try Body Shop’s Born Lippy

Leaving the same effect as The Face Shop Fresh Lip Balm, this one is made of organic beeswax which is widely known to have moisturizing properties.

Ellana Lip Treatment

This no-petroleum lip balm indeed can keep your lips soft and supple over time.  And here’s a plus:  upon application, there is a sweet-minty taste while instantly moisturizing your lips.  I tried this balm when I had real chapped lips and it did wonders.  Now I still keep it in my kikay kit, a must-have in fact.  Perfect as lipstick base too. 

Flavors available: Vanilla Bean, Strawberry Kiss & Cucumber Melon
