I am the type of person who typically has three or more lip balms with me at all times. My collection is large, but I tend to use a small selection on a day-to-day basis. Here are my faves:
This one is thick and goopy, so it’s a good choice when your lips need major hydration. I find it works best when you scoop out a bit with your finger, rub it on your hand and then apply to your lips. I use this one before applying lipstick – slather it on and let it sink in for five minutes or so before adding color.
Grown Alchemist Watermelon and Vanilla Lip Balm
I got this for my birthday and I absolutely adore it. It smells incredible (like Lip Smackers, yum) and it’s all natural. It gives your lips a great shine without being sticky, and looks gorgeous applied on top of lipstick or gloss.
Great consistency and smells deliciously like summertime.
This would be my desert island pick lip balm. I currently have two tubes in my stroller organizer, and apply it approximately 10 times a day. It goes on smooth, it’s super hydrating and it doesn’t have a scent or any chemicals of any kind. Love!
Burts Bees Nourishing Lip Balm with Mango Butter
Similar to the above, but with a delicious, tropical kick. I use this one less often, but adore it almost as much.
I find some of the EOS balms to be sickly sweet, but this one is perfect. I admittedly bought it because I liked the swirly packaging, but the kick of calming mint makes it my go-to lip balm to apply just before bed.
P.S. My five minute makeup routine and my September beauty picks.
