All about Lip Balms

Hey Guys,

My lips are super dry here so I have been buying a number of lip balms in hope it might save my lips from being DEAD.

Lippie Balms Bought


Nivea Lip Care - LIGHT KISS


Pros
  • Cheap
  • Nice Sheer texture
  • Quite Moisturizing

Cons

  • I dont like the taste of it (think vanilla icing on your lips) its just weird for me
  • Doesnt last long, it goes off within like what 10mins!
  • I dont really like pot balms, its very troublesome

Verdict

Its teh-na-na (2 out of 5 lippies)


Carmex (For Cold Sores)

Ok so I dont think many of you would get this in Singapore, I dont think many Singaporeans or people living in Singapore had the unfortunate experience of dealing with a cold sore. I DID. AND IT SUCKED.
Basically this balm is to help reduce cold sores on your lips and let me tell ya guys, if you ever have it BUY THIS. It totalllllly helps. Like within 2 days my lips were back to normal.
Pros
  • Totally works

Cons

  • Ugly packaging (very medication like)
  • Again the whole pot balm thingy
  • Smells funky
  • I didnt care for the colour of the balm either

Overall Verdict

Ok doctor! I'll use it only when I have to! 4 out of 5 lippies (just coz it did helped my cold sore)



Nivea Lip Care - Strawberry Kiss

Pros
  • It smells AMAHH-ZING
  • Convenient
  • It leaves your lips looking slighty reddish pink
  • Healthy looking lips
  • Cheap

Cons

  • Hmmm, NONE I LOVE IT

Overall Verdict

WINNNNAH!! 5 OUT OF 5 LIPPIES!! YAY

Kiehl's Lip Balm #1


Pros

  • It really is Number 1, super moisturizing

Cons

  • I wished it came in a lipstick form, more convenient
  • The texture is like vaseline so your fingers gets a little eeky after
  • It is kinda pricy for a lip balm - I think S$15 for a tube?

Overall Verdict

If only it was cheaper 3.5 out of 5 lippies

Lucas Paw Paw Ointment

I was introduced to this when I first got to Australia. It's been my love since then.

Pros

  • Oh its just so super moisturizing, it soooo good
  • It looks so good on-top of lipstick, I know you can use other balms but this one makes your lips looks sooo yummy
  • Cheap

Cons

  • Its vaseline texture makes it a lil eeky on the fingers
  • I dont really care for the taste and smell (kinda funky)

Overall Verdict

WINNNNAHWINNER!! SUPER WINNER!! 6 OUT OF 5 LIPPIES

P.S: Those of you who would like to have it, just let me know. I can get some before I go home to Singapore.

So yes, that concludes my review on lip balms. Boring to some, totally exciting to me.

Till Then Chicas,
