Lip Balm - Are you an addict?

Who doesn't love lip balm.  From a simple "does what it says on the tin" product, to tinted, scented, even flavoured, lip balm is an everyday product for most women (and one of the few cross over beauty products that men don't mind using in public!).

And most of us probably have more than one on the go at once.  (This BR crew member has 5 on the go, 1 currently AWOL and 2 unopened in the bathroom cabinet.  Don't even ask about my lip glosses...).  There's even a website to help the recovery of Lip Balm Addicts...naturally called Lip Balm Anonymous.

So let's chat about lip balms.  How many do you have?  Do you prefer a pot or a stick?  Do you like scented, flavoured or tinted?  Do you use it through the day or just as part of your usual skin care routine?  What do you find more effective, petroleum based balms or something else, beeswax maybe? 

Ecostore's Stick Lip Balm is a "plant-based intensive balm, with natural beeswax to help protect against the elements and sweet almond oil to soothe and deeply nourish dry lips."

And being the beauty enablers that we are, we're going to be putting it to the test. So get chatting below!

Now that I think of it I have three in my hand bag (2 tinted and 1 moisturised), two in the car (1 tinted, 1 beeswax) and who know how many floating around the house. I absolutely hate having dry lips and do what I can to avoid it and I find the right tint can make me feel glamorous

I wouldn't say I use lip balm excessively, usually a couple of times a day to protect my lips (ie. before going for a run in the wind, before bed). I think it's an important part of my skincare!

Love my lip balms, I always need one on hand everywhere I go - work, handbag, at home. Without applying lip balm religiously my lipstick would look yuk! haha

I love lip balm! I apply it at least 5 times a day and before bed at night! I am quite particular about what I like though as some seem to make your lips worse rather than better.

Soooooooooooooo many lip balms, always on the search for the perfect one!! smell and taste are really important as well as being safe and not full of harmful yuckies!!

I have so many lip balms going on at the same time, haha! Two at my desk, another in the car, another in my handbag, so on...I especially love tinted lip balms that give a bit of colour while moisturising :)

I have a collection! Self confessed addict! !

Absolutely, I have so many that I don't even end up using up, there's at least 20 just chilling in my draw. If I really love them I do end up finishing them up though, I can be quite fussy.

Love a good lip balm. Im using paw paw at the mo. Like to re-apply lots during the day. I have a tube in my hand bag along with a nivea one as well. Would love to try this one out

I avoid lip balm because I have heard there are many additives which make lips feel dryer. My lips rarely get dry, I just put the moisturiser on my lips at the same time as my face twice daily in my skincare routine.

I never got too far obsessed with balms.

10th December, 2013

Ok so I have tubes everywhere one in my handbag, nappybag, glovebox, kitchen draw,and two on my night stand... I think I might have a problem?! lol Oh and I just found two unopened ones on my dresser :/

Hopeless addict, I have over 10 floating around.

10th December, 2013

I'm an addict , 2 in the car, 2 in my handbag, 1 beside the bed ....

Totally addicted, go into a panic attack if I don't have any especially at bedtime! My fave is Elizabeth Ardens 8 hour lip balm, in tube for day time and pot for night so I can slather it on for sleeping. I prefer the wax ones I think!
