I've tried just about every lip balm there is. My absolute favorite is Nivea A Kiss of Smoothness with SPF4. It isn't a smelly one, and is so hydrating. I buy like 5 tubes at a time lol.

Agreed! I really like Nivea. I also use Vaseline and occasionally burt's bees lip balm.

CARMEX!!!!!!

I am obsessed with it, I must have 20-30 tubes. Every time I go to the USA I stock up. In Canada one is like $3 but I can get it for 99 cents in the good old USA.

I have discovered what i think is the best chapstick ever. I had found Neutrogenas Norwegian Formula hand cream a couple years ago, and discovered it's fantastic on lips, over night making them very soft. Well I was on drugstore.com the other and found this http://www.drugstore.com/neutrogena-nor ... 5/qxp10927
It's the hand cream, but in a chapstick tube. It's fantastic! It's a little expensive at 3.99 a tube, but worth it. I bought 4 at once cause they're on sale.

carmex!! my favorite one is the bigger yellow tube. i got a smaller carmex, in a skinny black tube don't like it as much as the fatter tube, which allows me to slather it on thick!

Burt's Bee's Pomegranate lip balm. It's amazing! I love pomegranates, this is smoothing, great smelling, and gives my lips a tint of red.

I was never a lip balm user except when I got my wisdom teeth out and now with braces. I have used the basic Chapstick type, which feels waxy to me. I have tried the Burt's Bee's Pomegranate, which works wells and smells good, but the red tint is not appealing to me being a guy. :P I recently have been using Blistex Medicated Lip Balm and Blistex Deep Renewal. I like that they both are SPF 15. The Medicated works great as a general lip balm. The Deep Renewal works really well, smells good, but the applicator looks like lipstick. :shock:

Carmex works wonders. If anyone out there is about to get their braces soon, apply a good amount of any lip balm before your appointment. Your mouth will be open for a while and your lips will become very dry.

I'm using Jack Black Intense Therapy, I absolutely LOVE this stuff!!
It lasts for hours, and I am not kidding. But the only bad part about this is that it's a little pricy, about $6 for a .25oz, but it's worth the cost in my opinion.
