I stopped wearing lipstick early in high school because I read that blubber from slaughtered whales was used in making the lipstick shiny and lustrous. I turned to Chapstick which I have kept in business since. But thanks to many cosmetic companies turning from industrial ingredients to more natural/organic not to mention being cruelty free (no testing on animals) I have slowly been brought back into the word of lipsticks and balms.
I am a big fan of colorless lip balms because if I do not have a mirror I cannot mess it up. My two favorites are Sugar Lip Balm (
SUGAR LIP TREATMENT SPF 15) and Claudalie Lip Conditioner. Both are nearly colorless with a subtle scent, make my lips feel great and lasts longer than expected.
The winner: Claudalie Lip Conditioner. I like that it looks like a tube of lipstick and its moisturizing properties are very, very good. My lips are always chapped regarding of the season and this keeps my lips supple after coffee, chewing on my pencil and drinking water.
The Sugar Lip Balm is also very good but it is a little thicker and can disappear after a couple of cups of coffee, water or tea. The tube is neat but I am a bit weary that I'm going to smush it, bend it or break the balm and that's just not a good feeling.
What are your favorite lip balms and why?
