It's Getting Balmy in Here!...My Top Five Lip Balms

So lets get to it.

1.  Fresh Sugar Advanced Lip Treatment $25

My new favorite lip balm.  Stays on for hours, really does repair lips.  Expensive as hell but worth it. Goes on smoothly smells divine of lemons and sugar and goes well under lip colors. Great packaging, screw on cap which is a plus.  See my full review in previous post. I probably won't purchase this again due to the price and because there are great alternatives.

2.  Avon Care Deeply Lip Balm .69 cents

Let me say that before I found Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment this was hands down the only chap stick that truly worked for me.  I have heard of people using it for cancer patients.  It really penetrates has a great soothing aloe smell and is cheap! The only problem is you can only get it at Avon so its not readily accessible.  Honestly i think that this and Fresh Sugar are very close. This pairs well also under lip colors.

3. Smiths Rosebud Salve $6

Great for lips and other chapped areas.  Has a pleasant enough smell but I'm am not crazy about the rose smell.  It is slightly smoother than the consistency of Vaseline which i also dislike the smell of.  I also don't like having to use my finger to scoop it out but i do believe this is available in a tube. I do use this because it works and gives a nice gloss if you just want to go neutral.


4. EOS Strawberry Balm $2.99

Smells great, awesome packaging i love that the cap screws on which is very important.  Lasting power is alright, but it does last about 30 min or so. The price can't be beat.


5. Sephora Nourishing Lip Balm $5

This is an excellent lip balm.  Similar to the lip sugar very nourishing and long lasting.  The only complaint I have is that it leaves somewhat of a texture on my lips not sure how else to describe it.  This makes my lipsticks kind of roll around. The balm feels fragile like its gonna break off. This is excellent on its own and lasts long. Very affordable

Gimme Some Sugar Baby!....Fresh Sugar Advanced Lip Treatment Review

First I should mention that I am the poster child for dry chapped lips.  I think my lips are drier than most (you could strike a match on them) I have extremely dry skin and my lips are no different.  My lips crack and bleed and I am putting chap stick on round the clock.  My daughter inherited my dry lip problem lucky her.  You name it I have it for lip balms, glosses, chap sticks, etc.  I think at last count I owned 20 different lip products and the only thing that helped was Smith's Rosebud Salve.  Although I hate having to stick my finger in lip gloss/salve, and I am not crazy about the smell.  So when I saw a review for this I though I'm sure it worked for them but I don't want to waste $25 to find out if it will work for me I mean come on chap stick is chap stick.  Boy was I wrong, after another bout of cracked morning lip I took the plunge.  This stuff is flipping amazing!  I put it on the night before and when I woke up it felt as if I had just applied it.  Its worth the ridiculous amount of money charged.  There are a whole line of these and this is the corrective balm.  When my lips are healed & when I finish this up I will switch to the protective balm with SPF.  I plan on using this on my daughter as well.  The smell is awesome too it smells like lemon sugar. I love the packaging its a hard metal like casing that screws on which is good for me because i have lip balms coming apart in my purse more often than I'd like. Lovin' this baby!!!
