Last week, I tried out 5 different lip balms to see which ones really work and which ones don't. It was a pretty interesting week but I actually did find a lip balm that worked for me and I'm suprised about the one I chose. First, let me review each lip balm before revealing which one I liked and rank them. I asked these questions with each lip balm I tried:
Did my lips stay moisturized?
How many times did I feel the need to reapply during the day?
Did my lips feel dry at any point during the day?
How did my lips feel at the end of the day?
Before applying the lip balm, I did exfoliate my lips which helped a lot.
10/28- EOS in Sweet Mint~ I tried this lip balm before and really didn't like it so much. I decided to give it second try. I must say, I did like it better this time. I think exfoliating before helped a great deal. I didn't feel like I had to apply it that much during the day. My lips didn't feel dry at all and they felt pretty good at the end of the day. I'm just surprised, maybe you should give some products a second chance if you didn't like it at first.
10/29- Chapstick Hydration Lock in Vanilla Creme~ I got this as a bonus product in my October Birchbox. I have used Chapstick in the past and it has been pretty okay. I didn't feel like I had to apply it all day. My lips felt soft and did not feel dry at any point.
10/30- Baby Lips Clinical Strength in Peppermint~ I used this product before but not in the clinical strength. I was on the fence about this lip balm because everyone was raving about it and I didn't really think it was all that great before. I like that this didn't have a really strong peppermint smell or have that tingling sensation. I wasn't too crazy about this lip balm, my lips did feel like they were dry at some point during the day. The funny thing was, they weren't dry at all to the touch. I didn't feel like I had to apply it that much during the day.
10/31- The Honest Co. Organic Lip Balm in Sweet Orange Vanilla~ I received this lip balm in a previous Birchbox. I was pretty in interested in trying an organic lip balm. This one was okay, I found myself needing to apply this a lot during the day. My lips did feel dry but were soft to the touch. I just don't like feel like I have apply lip balm every five minutes because my lips feel dry. Maybe it was just me but I wasn't too crazy about this one.
11/1- Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Lip Butter~ I got this in Five Below ( I so love that store, I'm always in there getting candy lol) and thought it would be good. I love using Cocoa Butter to moisturize my skin, why not try it on my lips. I really didn't like this too much. The formula was okay, it wasn't as thick as I thought it would be and it did make my lips feel dry. I was applying this like crazy during the day. I was pretty dissapointed in this.
So these are how I like each lip balm with 1 being I will be using this and 5 being I didn't like it at all. I'm really surprised with my results and happy with finding a lip balm, especially during this cold weather.
1. EOS
2. Chapstick
