LATHERING THOSE LIPS!

I've got tons of lip balms. I'm not kidding, I swap between them whenever I feel like a change, but I end up taking ten minutes picking which one I want to use... Anyways, today, I'm going to tell you what I have, and give them a kinda review (I guess?) just because...because. I just feel like it.

Body Shop Born Lippy:


These aren't really lip balms as such, but I love these too much not to mention them. I've got tons of these...my friend bought some for me at Christmas, which was awesome. They're the ones I usually bring to school, along with a Carmex. I always feel like I need two, I don't know why... Anyways, my favourite is the watermelon one...I guess it just tickles my taste buds...! That was terrible... I also like the passionberry one, and the satsuma shimmer. The thing I like the most about Body Shop products, in general, is the smell and taste, but I'm not really sure how beneficial it is to your body... If you're looking for something that's really good and solely for the purpose of skin care, then I wouldn't turn towards Body Shop first.

Carmex:
My friend was the one who recommended Carmex to me, she's always using her cherry squeezy tube Carmex. And I really like the tingles you get when you use it, the famous Carmex tingles. But anyways, even though I really love the smell of the tube Carmex's, I bought myself the lime and the pomegranate twist ones. It's really good but I must say though, even though it's easier to use and not as messy, the flavour doesn't really last long and the lime one is, for some odd reason, really squishy... But, as I said before it's really quite nice - it's got a good taste, tingles, and also SPF15. 

Vaseline:
My baby! I love Vaseline so much, it's unbelievable. I've been using Vaseline for years, and always the green aloe vera one because I'm just in love with it! Last year I did my Duke of Edinburgh's Award expedition, where we basically had to go camping with nothing but essentials. And I brought my Vaseline, that's how much I love it. I use it every night before bed and whenever my lips are exceptionally dry. It's the most moisturising lip balm ever, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who gets dry lips. I'm basically advertising Vaseline...trust me, I'm not getting paid to advertise it or anything, it's just that it would honestly be my pleasure to advertise such an amazing product...

Maybelline Baby Lips:


Everyone's heard of these, and nearly everyone's got at least one. Myself, well despite being addicted to lip balms, I've only got the cherry one. I think it's great, I like that it slightly tints your lips, and is really smooth when you apply it. Another one of my friends though, she has the pink punch, and she hates it...apparently, it's got a weird texture and isn't moisturising at all... I guess it kinda depends on your own personal preferences and which one of the Baby Lips collection you get... All I can say is that the colourless ones (for example the hydrate, intense care, and mint fresh) seem to be better than the tinted ones (pink punch and peach kiss)...

Well...those are the main lip balms and products I use...there are more, but no one cares about the ones from years ago which I didn't even know I had. As you can see I do very much love my lip balms, and I'm always looking out for more, to my mum's dismay. But anyways, that is all for this blog post, there is nothing else for me to say so...

I love y'all, and goodbye xxx
