Favourite Balms

I know that in most of my posts to date, I have shown off my favourite lipsticks, raving about them to my hearts content, don't be fooled though, on 'lazy, I don't want to do anything today' days, as well as the ones where I'm going to be spending all of my time at work, I love nothing more than to just whack on very minimal base make-up, a touch of mascara, and a bit of lip balm just to finish it off.


So I thought that I'd share with you my three favourite lip balms of the moment, as really I actually wear these muuuuch more often than any lipstick that I own, although I switch between them from day to day, I'd say that I get my fair share of use-age out of each of them!




Vaseline Limited Edition Paint The Town Red Lip Tint - £3.49  
Blistex Daily Lip Conditioner - £2.59
Burts Bees Honey Lip Balm - £3.69


Now, Vaseline has always been my top dog, probably since I was around the age of 10 when I was first introduced to the amazing thing that was balms, purely because I've always felt that you cant go wrong with a touch of the stuff on the lips, to give them that bit of extra ooomphh and jazzle. When I saw a couple of weeks back, that they had a Limited Edition Paint the Town Red Lip Tint Vaseline - long name I know, I literally jumped up and down with excitement, and let me tell you, this stuff definitely does not disappoint. It just leaves your lips feeling so soft, smooth, and glossy, which I feel is relatively long lasting for a Vaseline product, and then along with that gorgeous red tint, it definitely leaves them looking scrummy and delicious!


The Blistex Daily Lip Conditioner, oooh my, I have never had a lip product make my lips not only feel smoother and softer, and all those other amazing words to describe a balm, but it actually makes them look it too, and within seconds of applying, can't complain with this one... and it smells all fresh and minty and lovely and yummy, what's not to like? 


Mmmm the Burts Bees Honey Lip Balm, smells divine, you could actually nibble it all up - although I really wouldn't recommend doing so!! This little beauty I believe is 100% natural, its packed with amazing ingredients such as honey, as the name suggests, beeswax, shea butter, almond oil and lanolin, these ensure that you're lips are left feeling (and looking) soft, healthy, moisturised and nourished.



I'd love to read in the comments below what your favourite balms of the moment are, any suggestions would be very welcome, more than anything else, I'm definitely a bit of a lip balm junkie, I'm always trying new ones out :)



Although I know this is a short post, I hope that you enjoyed reading though.

  3. Great list. Does the red Vaseline actually make your lips red? Have you tried out the EOS lip balms? Those are the best. The mint one is awesome.

    1. Thank you :) the vaseline I find is quite buildable in terms of redness, you can wear it sheer for a very slight tint, but I also find that although it doesn't go to a proper shocker red, you can definitely build it up to a nice glossy bit of colour, I think that it gives the perfect amount of tint for those "I don't want to wear tonnes of make-up" I hope this answers your question, I'm thinking that I really should have put up a photo of it on, I'm really not that great at explaining things lol. Nooo but I definitely do want to try the EOS balms, I've heard so many great things about them! Think I may have to pick one (or a couple) up :P
      Thank you for your comment :) xx
