Just wondering what everyone uses for lip protection?
I like Blistex, don't have much luck with Chapstick. Just tried Carmex - Walmart brand ( I was out and needed some) and it was a total waste of money!
I personally don't care for Blistex and while at home I do use Carmex in the tube (cherry). But at work I like to carry C.O. Bigelow. I have many different flavors...it's my favorite:)
My favourite is Biotherm's Anty drying protective lip treatment - SPF8. It's a cream.
I have been using Vaseline Lip Therapy for years. Recently they changed the formula so it is more oily than before. I don't like it, but I've tried other things and they just don't work for me. So I've learned to deal with the more oily formula. I also found that the cherry flavor is not as bad, oily wise.
Burts Bees all the way! never liked anything on the lips till I tried their stuff.
I use Neutrogena or Nivea and hubby swears by Lobello. I have to say I like it too but much prefer the Nivea or Neutrogena lip balms.
I use chapstick. I used to use bee's wax but I didn't like how it turned my lips white.
I usually use Chapstick, sometimes Blistex. I have never heard of Burt's Bees.
Carmex in the tube is the best. I've been using it for a very long time. Way before they finally started putting it in a tube.
Carmex!!!:D
Right now I'm using Chapstick All Natural and Vanilla Mint. :D
I usually use that lipsmacker's lip balm and for my birthday I got Tutti Dolci Sugar Wafer lip gloss and it works great and it's glittery but it doesn't dry your lips out. :)
Lipstick and lip gloss. Lip balm just seems silly to me
I keep some kind of lip balm in my pocket (or often bra if no pockets and I scrounging around home! :eek:) I have one from Murad that has pomegranate that I really like.
I have been using Blistex in the green tube and I really like that. But this is a question I just can't answer - I have a zillion!! :D
I use so many I don't really know which brand I like the best. I do use Burts Bees lotion and I LOVE it!!! :D
I don't like to use chap stick of any kind; it just doesn't keep my lips un-chapped :rolleyes: I mainly use lip gloss. it helps pretty well.
Berry Blistex!!!
I have like twenty tubes of Carmex, everywhere. I'm totally addicted to it.
walgreens brand cheap chapstick stuff
Neutrogena 6 hour protection lip balm works for me!
I'm linking it because you wouldn't believe me if I told you!
Love, Columbine
I voted other just because I don't use just one thing. I use whatever I find that is cheap
Haha funny stuff. I've never tried it, but you are right, if you didn't link it I may not have belived you :) Looks interesting, I'll have to check it out!Quote:

i use nivea caregloss and shine in lovely red :P it smells raspberry hinted. makes your lips shiny and soft :D
I love my Burt's Bees lip shimmers (nutmeg color). Although I'm trying to figure out if there's SPF in it. I can't find any info on the tube, which worries me because my dad had some pretty major surgery for skin cancer(removed his entire upper lip up to his nose, almost lost his upper palate, had skin grafting and was drinking through a straw for almost 6 weeks... you wouldn't want to see the pics, although you'd never go without sunblock again if you did). He had never used an SPF in anything. Now I want to make sure it's in whatever I put on my face.
If you're brave, click the link to see the kind of surgery he had... He had squamous cell carcinoma.
upper lip reconstruction
I have a couple and I **thought** that they had spf 15 in them but if they aren't on the tube I could be wrong. I have cocoa and it is like the perfect color! I love it..Quote:

Blistex moisturizing is the best lip balm I've ever had. The stuff's so moisturizing, it's like putting water on your lips :D
It is kinda pricey, but I LOVE it.
Smiths Rosebud Salve...
I like the original (tastes and smells like roses), but the strawberry and menthol is ok too.
I also at night just use the vaseline in the jar for a dollar in those travel bins.
My new favorite is carmex cherry. I own in in tube, stick, and jar form!
I got a new one over the weekend from Bath and Body Works, Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine. It cost a lot more than a ChapStick, so hopefully I won't lose it any time soon!

I like the tube better then the others too.
