    Vaseline - either the aloe vera one or the cocoa butter one.

    I was using the Blistex Daily Lip Conditoner which I really liked but I'm using the Nuxe Reve de Miel which is heaven. I highly recommend it

    Carmex! I prefer the one in the tube as the potted one is tiny! Vaseline is also great or Blistex if your lips are really chapped

    Blistex intensive has been a lifesaver for me, it works quick and it's very effective when your lips are really chapped. For frequent day to day use I like Vaseline just because it comes is so many great flavours.

    vaseline isn't moisturizing you know guys, just coats your lips to give a protective layer!

    burts bees is welll the best
    i love yes to carrots too and the blistex one in the little pot

    bodyshop ones are sooo moisturizing you know the "tantalizing" ones but they're so hard to soak in and leave white residue so i can only use them of a night

    love the camex tubes too and it makes your lips very glossy

    the palmers cocoa butter one is so yummy too
    i'm a lip balm junkie as you can tell

    Lucas' PawPaw ointment. Not strictly a lip balm (it has many uses), but literally the best ever. Was recommend to me by a model I know who has huge lips and they keep hers looking perfect.

    For something more compact I like Burt's Bees original or mango lip balm.

    Lush lip balms are really good but expensive. They do some nice ones with a tint as well but they're all pretty moisturising.

    I like the Palmers Cocoa Butter one too and some French Vanilla one I can't remember the name of!

    Totally second the Pawpaw bit! That stuff is amazing for everything!

    I use a really good balm called Chopsaver, It's quite hard to find in shops (try a musical instrument shop, they have it sometimes) but it's really good. I'd say it's better than Carmex for moisturising and doesn't leave your lips all greasy and horrible (which is very good for brass playing, which is why I buy it).
