Chapstick Chapstick

I have used these for as long as i can remember. When i was a school i always had dry cracked lips and these were a must have in my bag! they always smell yummy and keep my lips hydrated and nice :)

I used these for a while a few years back and found them terribly drying. My lips would get "addicted" to them and I would find myself having to reapply every 15 minutes. Not a fan of the chemical and fake flavour and smell either.

I used to adore the Cherry Chapstick and wore it for years as a teenager, the taste was sweet like cherries and it kept my lips moist with just the very faintest of tint to them. As I have grown up though I noticed that the chapstick doesn't seem to be the same, it tastes more chemical and doesn't stay on my lips that long without needing another application.

This always takes me back to primary school. I used to have a strawberry one in my bag.

I remember this making my lips feel super moisturised but it never lasted all that long. But it's so cheap, it doesn't matter!

This is my 'must have' over summer if I'm out in the sun.

I used chapstick for many years, particularly the strawberry flavour (I hated the plain one and thought it tasted like pine needles!) and found it so handy to chuck in my purse or bag. The formula wasn't too thick or tacky and provided just the right amount of moisture and longevity. I found it worked great to soften and soothe dry and cracked lips and it was great not to have to get your fingers all sticky when you applied it. The only problem I had with the product was that the wind-up mechanism would sometimes break and the chapstick would get stuck leaving you having to pull the product out or stick your fingers in there. For this reason I moved onto other products. I'd recommend for a cheap product to keep in your purse when dry lips strike.

This is a great simple lip balm that I always return too. I just brought a new one yesterday actually! My favourite is strawberry, I also have tried a mint one but have never seen them sold on their own (it was in a tin with 2 other balms) I do hate the original but think its good for men! My partner doesn't want a scented balm so it works for him if he needs one. I find them long lasting and nourishing.

I have used Chapstick for years. I use the plain one as the flavoured ones make me feel funny after wearing them for a while. Chapstick helps keep my lips soft and moisturized and I couldn't live without it now. I always have one on me and I always have a spare just in case!

I used this many years ago but felt I had to keep applying it all the time as my lips didn't feel very moisurized, then eventually they started peeling so didn't think that was right. I stopped using it after a couple days as I felt it was the complete opposite of what it was supposed to do. I later found out it has methylparaben and propylparaben and the strawberry contains a small amount of aluminum so not good for my lips.

I have a stick in my handbag and at work at all times. Keeps my puckers moisturised and feeling good. Have had one with me ever since primary school! :)

I bought this back in the day when I was carefree, in high school and worked at DEKA part time - so the beauty budget didn't extend that far. I chose the strawberry stick - because, yum. The smell was delicious. Unfortunately that's where the love affair ended. I found Chapstick super drying. And it was a vicious cycle ... "my lips are dry, better apply chapstick - hmmmm, what a lovely smell" ... "hmmm, my lips seem really dryer - better get that lovely chapstick out" ... wash and repeat. Now I've not had a lot of luck with moisturising lip products, but I'd have to say this was one of the worst experiences. However I'd still say to a friend 'give it a go', because as it's been around so long I'm pretty sure it's more an issue with my lips rather than the product.
