Today and Saturday I’m going to do two top 3 posts, I decided to start with my top 3 lip balms as I feel like they go a little unnoticed compared to its cousins the lipstick/ glosses etc. However, I bet that every single person reading this has a small collection of lip balms at the bottom of their bag. A lip balm can be the difference between a lipstick looking awful and patchy or amazing, I make sure that I prep my lips with a balm before I put any other lip product on my lips and I believe it makes a huge difference. These are my top three lip balms that I think work the best.
Carmex – £2.69 Boots
As it says on the tin, Carmex is a classic and even though it’s least moisturising out of the three, it does protect your lips the most. It acts like a balm against the cold, preventing your lips from getting dry so unlike the others it’s a long term solution to dry lips and for £2.69 you can’t go wrong!
Eos Lipbalm in Sweet Mint – £5.29 for two on Amazon
The eos lip balms are hugely popular in the blogging world and this combined with the futuristic packaging I needed to try it so i recently picked one up and it’s slowly becoming my favourite lip balm. Not only do these smell and taste AMAZING, they also provide your lips with moisture and unlike many other lip balms don’t need to be re applied every ten minutes (although it’s tempting as they taste so good). The packaging of these lip balms means that your fingers never have to touch the product, which can be really unhygienic making these very good for travelling and children.
Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Lip Protectant – £20 Boots
I’d never usually spend £20 on a lip balm but after getting this as a part of a eight hour trio on the plane last December I may have to when it runs out.
Unlike any of the other products this balm has SPF 15 in it which means it protects your lips from the sun, not only do I rely on this in the sun, I also religiously apply it every morning before I put anything on my lips. It applies like a dream and provides all day protection.
What are you favourite lip balms?
