Just because...

What's your go-to lip balm and/or lipstick?

MKC12/22/2006

I'll start. I love Burt's Bees conditioning lip balm - comes in a white and gray tube. Just started to love EOS - the medicated tangerine kind, but I want to try other flavors too.

I never wear lipstick! I think it looks funny on me.

Aveda lip saver.

I never wear lipstick either - maybe gloss with a tint, but I also think lipstick looks funny on me, or it is too drying, or smudgy, or or or or or....

Chapstick peppermint flavor. I stock up at Christmas and use it all year. It is less waxy and cures actual chap quicker. Has a bit of a burn/tingle though.

ceamac0127

EOS or Burt's bees

The only lipstick I wear is MAC and it's usually a blush, nothing too drastic for me

Nivea! I used to love the Strawberry Softlips! It smelled so good and worked like a charm! I think they changed the way they make it though because the last couple times I bought it, I haven't been thrilled. Now I use Nivea all the time, and have 4 different formulas that I love equally. Nivea Essential Moisture, Soothing Care, Hydro Care, and Pearly Shine. I'm not sure if the Pearly Shine one is a tinted lip balm or a full-fledged lipstick, but it looks good on me all year round, (I think) and I love it!

Vaseline! When I rarely wear lipstick I wear a lip stain and put Vaseline on top. I like my lips nice and greased up. ;;)

Lip balm- Burst bees or chapstick medicated.... I rarely used "lipstick" but I love the tinted lip gloss from BBW called blush and the plump one. But for real color i love pink parfait from MK

Chapstick...any flavor but original. My dad has worn original all my life...I once smooched a guy who was wearing it and all I could think of was my dad...yuck. First and last kiss!!!

Aprilbaby49

Lamer lip balm or YSL lip gloss (has a nice tint and moisturizes very well). Back in the day I used to use soft lips or Burt's bees.

arschm02

Love the white liquid blistex in the tube or Chapstick medicated brand in the black tube. I love the cool tingling of both of them.

For hydration I actually use Lanolin! For lip color I use Chanel lip gloss in Brilliance.

Peony230

I love original burts bees or the conditioning one in the white and gray tube, as mentioned in a previous post. They both actually take away dryness.

I love Banana Boat! It's just the best for a Chapstick type lip balm. It has sunscreen too. I wear it everyday. For lipstick, I'm not a big fan, but I just got some Smashbox stuff and it's not goopy nor does it taste weird, so it's working so far. I prefer to use a lipliner over balm for my lipstick, but I haven't found a new liner that's a good whole lip color yet.

Nivea with no tint for every day. Then for special events nars lipstick.

sunflower92

soft lips, no tint

Call me grandma but I swear by mary kay satin lips balm

ETA: I have larger lips, so no lipstick for me, makes me look like a hooker.

Victoria secret lip glosses- I'm addicted.  Also Chapstick brand in cherry.  No lip stick here, I am too pale for any lip color, just makes me look unnatural.

Which is your favorite color from VS?

Gracious1014

I mostly use eos - I have lemon and mint. Sometimes Burts Bees in Rose for a little hint of color. I can't stand wearing lipstick.

skidderdo

Burt's Bees or regular chap stick, the blue tube kind. I try not to use Chapstick though because it's like heroin... Once you start, your lips just crave it!

Meggs2559

Strawberry or cherry Chapstick and EOS are my favorites. I'm a Chapstick addict. I have one in every pocket, purse, bag and right next to my bed. I reapply all. the. time. #1 item I would bring with me if I were stranded on an island.

ClandestineX

I have never put anything on my lips.. is that weird? They've never been chapped either.

cassied7

I make my own using Shea butter, coconut oil, bees wax and grapeseed oil. I love DIY

lyankowi

I am a ChapStick fiend. Name it I've tried it. I have, 6 different brands in my purse, 4 beside my bed, 5 in the bathroom, one on the side table beside me right now. My go to it Burts bees then I really like ones sold at craft shows.

Smiths rosebud salve .

Yessss!!!! I love it! Glossy with a hint of color and also feels amazing on dry lips. Addicted.

MKC12/22/2006

This is a fun GTKY.

MKC12/22/2006

Anyone remember these? Ah, the good old days.

bibliophileemily

Regular Burt's Bees (the minty one) for everyday use, although I like the other flavors and the tinted ones too.
If lipstick looked good on me, I would probably wear a red lip every day, but it doesn't, so I don't.

Yes!! I had them in my backpack and after few days they'd get so gross from all the crumbs and junk in my bag.

kristalg25

EOS, Burt bees, or carmex. I use bare minerals make up and I love there lip stains and glosses.

love4b

Bubble & Bee Organic. I figure that if I'm basically gonna eat the entire stick eventually, it may as well be healthy

burneyonboard

I use Vaseline. I just recently started wearing a little lipstick. I got a free MAC nude color and I really like it.

Mommymorticia

When I'm feeling bold Nars jumbo pencil in Cruella and I dab some brown or black eyeshadow on it to set it and make it a little darker.

I third the rosebud salve! Great stuff...I even used it on a rough cuticle and it did wonders!

It is GREAT on cuticles and on really rough patches of dry skin!

Lanolin at night and cherry ChapStick during the day.
