balm me

I hate chapped lips. There is absolutely nothing sexy about them. If you're anything like me you probably have a million lip balm's at the bottom of your purses. Since I was little and figured out what Lip Smacker's was I don't think my lips have ever been naked again.
Since lip balm's are usually rather cheap and are sold everywhere, you can only begin to imagine the collection I have acquired throughout the years!
These are my faves, which means,  that no matter what lip balm I pull from the bottom of my purse I will throw it back in until I find one of these...


Burt's Bees- Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil $2.99
This is currently my favorite lip balm. The smell is amazing (yes, that is critically important since you're applying it right below your nose) and it's unbelievably moisturizing. It stays on and unlike Carmex you don't have to apply it every other minute (or cringe from the smell) I was a fan of their original lip balm but I haven't purchased that one since I discovered this miracle balm! It has the tiniest (as in barely existent) amount of color that evens out your lip tone too- just fab! It's $3.00 so that means just go and BUY IT.  You can get it at Whole Foods, Ulta, Target, and usually your local drugstore or grocery stores.
Here it is at Amazon Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil - .15 oz







Perfumeria Gal- Lip Tins Red Currant $6.50
This lip balm is imported from Spain (like me) so clearly it's amazing.  Ha! In all seriousness, though, how adorable is the tin?! Perfumeria Gal lip balm's have been around since 1898, amazing! They have tons of different flavored lip balms with beautiful different tins. It makes my lips kissable smooth without being sticky or too greasy (think more like Rosebud Salve than Aquaphor) This balm is great to use on your cuticles too or even to fix your eyebrows and make sure they stay put! Little things tend  to brighten my days and pulling this lip balm out is one of them! You can purchase it at Blue Mercury and some department stores or easiest is ordering it online!

EOS - Summer Fruit Lip Balm $3.00 
If you've seen this weird looking sphere you've probably thought what the hell is that and should I buy it?  Leave it to me to obviously think that and purchase it! EOS stands for Evolution of Smooth and that perfectly describes this lip balm...smooth. It's 95% organic and 100% natural- paraban and petrolatum free (rejoice greenies!!!) You might have stopped yourself from purchasing it because you hate sticking your fingers into your lip balm's right? Well...when you unscrew this balm you actually find out that it's like a chap stick but in the shape of a sphere which for some odd reason makes it glide onto your lips that much better! The Summer Fruit is my favorite flavor but the only downfall is that it doesn't have SPF in it...Lemon Drop does have SPF 15. I haven't tried that one, yet, but if it tastes anything like my love for lemon drop shots I'm sure it will be heavenly! You can purchase it at Ulta, CVS, Walgreens,  Target and of course on Amazon!
