My Favorite Lip Balm Picks!

Hello Beautiful!

I hope that you are having a happy spring!  Mine has been quite busy! Only a month and a half left of this semester (ugh).  

I have been slacking on posts (what's new?) and have been wanting to actually create a schedule of when I am going to put out a post.  I am still trying to figure out what day would be best.  Since I am taking a study break today, I wanted to share a short and sweet post for you all! 

Here is something a lot of people may or may not know about me...I'm always on a hunt for the best chapstick/lip balm.  My lips are extremely sensitive and nothing peeves me more than when they are dry and chapped.  It is gross and I love applying lipstick which does not always help them.

So I exfoliate frequently but a great, hefty lip balm is always helpful.

I cannot tell you how many I own.  But they are placed everywhere, on my desk, near the bed, in my backpack, and in my beauty bag!  I always have chapstick. Always.

So out of the (probably hundreds) of chapstick that I do own, here are my top three!

Here they are! I keep one near my facial products so that I remember to apply it in the morning.  I keep one on the bedside table.  I keep the third in my backpack!

Surprisingly, I think the two cheaper balms (vaseline and alba) do a better job with keeping my lips hydrated.  I still love lip service, but I always apply it before I apply my makeup and I think the lipstick dries out my lips regardless.  However, I've been testing out my Vaseline lip therapy for a few days and  I think it keeps my lips soft and hydrated for the longest amount of time.  This only sells for a little over $2 dollars at my nearest Target (but I live in San Francisco and I found that SF city targets are more expensive than suburban based Targets! You might find this product for a cheaper price if you're in the suburbs!)

I also think that my alba chapstick keeps my lips hydrated throughout the day for a longer amount of time than lush's Lip Service.  So sometimes you're better off with the cheaper product!

In conclusion, I love all three of them! The best time for me to use lip service is post lip exfoliation! I pair it up with my lush sugar scrub that I use! They work as a duo!  However, for the cheaper balms, I am more than confident when telling you that the Vaseline lip therapy and Alba balms are spectacular for your lips!  Just take it from a person who owns too many lip balms and always wants more.

So keep your lips hydrated, beautifuls!  Nobody is a fan of dry, cracked lips!
