    I love the Coca Cola Lipsmackers, they smell amazing and last for ages!

    The best one is the Cherry Cola one, it also has a pink tint which is nice.

    Better still, they sell them cheap in Primark, £1.50 I think!

    Hi im looking for a really good lip balm that stays on your lips and doesnt rub away after like 2 mins :/ any suggestions ?


    im currently using the body collection chap stick and its not bad but the flavours not nice lol ?

    any help would be appreciated
    Carmex is perfect... in a little squeezy tube in the strawberry flavour if you can (smells lovely) but the tub is just as good. Yes there is a tingle, but it's a satisfying one, makes me feel like it's working.

    Burt's Bees are amazing! I found that they really protected my lips as well as healing them. The one's with menthol in are good too, but can be a bit weird until you get used to them.

    Vaseline isn't moisturising but does feel nice and is cheap

    I tried burts bees it was ok but the smell was too much for me

    Carmex is good I have really dry skin and it helped keep my lips in shape and moisturised though not a fan of the tingle

    Blistex is great I tend to crack my lips when I smile too much and it helps them heal though not a nice smell or feel not easily applied either

    If your willing to spend Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream lipbalm is AMAZING its the only thing I've found that moisturising nothing else competes really, it lasts for ages when youve applied it and feels like more of a balm rather than greasy or slimy, one stick lasted me a year so it is worth splashing out for !

    Figs and Rouge balm. You can use it on any dry skin, I always have a little pot in my handbag.

    Hi,

    I've used both Vaseline and Carmex and find that both work really well, but that Vaseline w/Rose extract gives my lips some colour, whereas Carmex doesn't.

    I guess it's just personal preference really, but I prefer Vaseline Rose. Just try both and see which one works for you would be my advice

    I bought a lip balm from here, was the best I've ever tried, and I'd been using the natural organic expensive ones before- won't go back. Really really good and doesn't make them flake more. I think they have a link to their proper shop on there somewhere.

    I've always used Carmex for the past month or so because my besty suggested it and I think it's great

    I just use a mixture of vitamin e and olive oil on my lips at night and they stay soft and moisturised throughout the next day. Try it
