I'm sorry to be bumping this up, but the one that I haven't seen so far (forgive me if it has - 5 pages is rather long to browse through! :lol:) is Smith's Rosebud Salve, as well as Victoria Secret's balmy nights.

It's got a little bit of tingle to it (not much) and I love how it keeps my lips healthy. There isn't much shine to it, but it's quality stuff.
Hi Amychelle,
I had this stuff years ago, but while in the drugstore yesterday... I couldn't find it. Do they still make this? Maybe they have changed the tube and I didn't recognize it. I'm trying to gather all the goodies I need in preparation for my journey which is to begin mid October.

Thanks!
Carla

I bought both the Aveeno and Soft Lips at Wal Mart in the pharmacy section recently. Both were under $2.00 (soft lips had 2 tubes in the package).
I really like them both but soft lips tastes better. I use it during the day and Aveeno at night.

Natio Moisturising Lip Balm with SPF 30+ and Vitamin E is the only lip balm that I have used where I have not had an allergic reaction to the ingredients....sigh :roll:

http://www.natio.com.au

at $3.95 AUD it's cheap!

When it comes to lippie, I find Christian Dior Dior Addict ULTRA-GLOSS is my gloss of choice. It is applied using a wand, which is convenient when I am on the go. Other favs are Lancome Juicy Crayon, Lancome Juicy Rouge, and Chanel Levres Scintillantes Glossimer or Levres Lumier Intense, in whatever colour.

I do like MAC lipglass, but my hair seems to be attracted to get stuck to it at some point during the day, or maybe it is due to the fact that we are experiencing spring winds here? :lol:

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with my faaavorite. I love the way it feels and it keeps your lips super soft. Also, I like to use some Neutrogena Lip Nutrition every now and then too. Its nice and shiny and doesn't leave a wax on your lips. They have great flavors too like berry and mango! The berry is by far my favorite. :D Its a little steep though, you can buy it for under 6 bucks at Target.

I always have my medicated chapstick. I put some on before I put on my lipgloss and before I go to bed. I am addicted to chapstick! :)

I have been totally addicted to Blistex Lip Conditioner with SPF15 for about 20 years now. I can't live without it!

I love MAC's Lipglass line to keep my lips moist.

I use Burt's Bees quite a bit (mainly because the tingle is fabulous!). I use Carmex when I get really chapped/split lips...especially in the corners of my mouth for some reason, most likely caused by a particular rubberband... :x

For a great balm that has the shine of a gloss, try My Lip Stuff.

My mother starting using (not sure of the exact name) "Aquafina Lip Quencher". I tried it the other day and loved it! It might be partly the fact that the name Aquafina alone makes my mouth water (delicious bottled water! mmm!)

I have also heard rave reviews about "hemp chapstick". Has anybody heard of this?

Clarins's Moisture Replenishing Balm is great too--it gives you that shine. They also have the tinted lip balm in all sorts of colors too (the braces got me brave enough to get the purple one, which isn't purple on my lips at all!), but the one mentioned previously is definately more moisturizing.

The corners of my lips have been cracking too. It looks so crusty and nasty, and worse, they hurt when I brush my teeth. I started using regular ol' Vaseline on my lips and over the corners to protect them last night... I found a winner!

This board covers everything! :D I just got braces and have immediately noticed my lips are very dry. I carry MAC Lipglass, Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm and Blistex Medicated Balm. The Blistex is my favorite.

They sell this at Body Shop. I got it a couple of years back (pre-braces), when hemp was all the rage. It has a pretty funky taste :roll:
