Lip Balm/Lip Gloss
Moderator: bbsadmin
lip balm of the GODS!
I have to say that my favorite lip balm/chap stick (whatever) has got to be Burt's Bees kind that comes in a little yellow tin! That stuff is absolutely heavenly!! Just a little insight from someone obsessed with soft lips!
Hello everyone!
I have tried the Bee Burt and that was working for awhile and then the Blistex Ultra Moisture but they quit working.
Once I got my lower braces put on my lips have been so badly chapped that they bleed.
Anyway, a pharmacist recommended to me Aveeno Intense Relief Lip Therapy. It's new and it works wonderful. My lips are on there way back to being normal. 

I have tried the Bee Burt and that was working for awhile and then the Blistex Ultra Moisture but they quit working.




I just went out and bought Softlips and Blistex Lip infusion and I really like them both! I still use Vaseline every night before bed. I think I'd like to try Body Shop Lip Care SPF 15 with Vitamin E for Christmas! I'll let you know how that one is.
Thanks for all the suggestions!

Lip glosses
I used to live in Ottawa too! And, I moved to the US in 2000Grapefruit wrote:wow! Ur welcome my Canadian brethren! lol I grew up in canada and we moved here in 2000....i miss it sooo much! I love CANADA! I used to live in Ottawa....
I guess we're the only ones who know wat Tim Hortons (TIMMY'S) is...! lol

I'm pretty sure they don't sell Burt's Bees in Canada...Blistex is good but I find it a bit waxy. Origins has really nice shiny lip glosses. They're not too thick, they're tingly and they taste like vanilla and mint.

Liza, I really love this stuff too! I tried it just for fun but it's fabulous..it goes on like a gloss and it looks like a gloss, but it FEELS like medicated lip balm. I also love the Mentha Lip Shine (Ultra!) and plain old Chapstick

Sure they do. At least, in Western Canada (Vancouver area) you can get it at any London Drugs store.bracedintx wrote:I'm pretty sure they don't sell Burt's Bees in Canada...

I prefer using a cocoa butter stick most of the time. It melts slightly on contact with my skin, filling in all the dry spots with moisture that stays most of the day and soaks in. The best part is that it smells like chocolate to me!!! I tend to use the Palmer's brand. You can get it here in the USA.
If my lips are feeling particularly damaged, I use liquid vitamin E (glass tube with metal roller) from my local natural foods store. It also makes my lips really shiny and glossy! It's similar to this one.

Well I think I have literally tried every single kind you folks have recommended and then some. I have bought just about one of everykind I could find. Blistex, chapstick, Lip infusion, Body shop vit E, and Body shop Cocoa butter, vaseline, Aveeno SPF, and several other gloss types. Most of these feel nice and smooth going on, but I found they did very little to actually heal or reduce the lines in my lips.
I have to say that unequiviacally the best I have found so far is CARMEX. I hate the taste of this stuff, always have, but I do have to say that it works. If you are looking to keep your lips moisturized and crack free this is the one to use.
My husband even commented on how smooth my lips feel now, so I'm sticking with this one. Sometimes I use it underneath gloss and it works very well also. You get the moisturizing benefits plus gloss on top.

I use Yves Rochers' Nourishing Lip Balm...it's amazing. I love it.
Lush is amazing too. I have this mint lip balm from Lush that I love as well.
