Throughout the seasons, many of us can suffer
from a serious case of CLS (chapped lips syndrome), and being an obsessed lip
balmer (lip conditioner, lip moisturiser...whatever you choose to call it) myself, I have had the opportunity to be able to test many different products and find
the best possible ones!
And as Winter is definitely approaching in
Australia, my skin and lips are definetly feeling it, BUT I have been able to
prevent cracked lips from using a range of different products, in which I have been
able to create my "Top 3 Must Have - Lip Balms"
At #3 - Blistex
I was introduced to this product when I was about 7 years old due to the influence of my older cousins! they were about 13 and all cool with their lip balms (this was the early 2000s), and I really liked it from the start! As many people would have already tried Blistex, I assume you have already felt that tingling feeling of applying it. But in regards to using this balm for reliving and preventing CLS, it is rather good as well!
I find this lip balm to be nice for relief for minor cracked lips... and overall is a really nice lip balm. My favourite type of packaging is the "lip conditioner pot" because it's small, easy and affordable at just $3.40 from your local Discount Chemist.

Coming in at #2 - Burt's Bees
I have only recently purchased Burt's Bees
products, and have been really impressed with them! They have lovely smells and
"flavours"...more natural and organic scents, rather then sweet
ones...which I prefer.
I find these brilliant for a quick lip fix on
the go....as I carry one in my hand bag, one in my uni bag and another one in my
car.
I am seriously loving these balms, and they are huge around the world... as I follow alot of other beauty
blogs, such as Zoella etc. (I found out about these through her). But as these are
not big in Australia, and are rather expensive for a small tube - costing about
$6.95 for one, its a bit pricey, but worth it for convince.
I know alot of "pop up shops" of Burt's
Bees have being emerging among Sydney shopping centres (where Emily and I bought our ones), so check it out! If your global, im sure you have already
heard about Burts Bees, us Australians are just a little behind!
#1 - Lucas' PaPaw Ointment
This is by far my favourite lip balm EVER... I am even struggling to finds words to describe how amazing this stuff is. NOT
ONLY is it brillant for lips, but also for "minor burns, sunburn (amazing for
this), gravel rash, insects bites..." and the list goes on!
I love using this just before I go to bed, and
just apply a good amount pretty much all around my mouth...I know that sounds
kinda weird, but trust me if you get it, you will do the exact same thing,
everyone does. This keeps my lips SO hydrated all night, you even wake up in
the morning and can kinda still feel it there.
I'm also pretty sure this product is one of the
most underrated products that Australia produces, as literally everyone has
some of this stuff somewhere in there house, or car, or ...at work.
Other useful bonus's about this product is that
for a "multi purpose" ointment, it smells pretty good! not like, mmm
just wanna eat it good, but waaaay better then some other weird ointments would
smell. Another bonus is that its purely Australian! Stoked! But im sure it
would be sold in other places among the world (hopefully...you MUST get your
hands on this stuff).
But by far, the biggest bonus of them all, is
that you can pick up a 75g tub for $10, and a 25g tube for $4.50. I KNOW RIGHT.
and they also last for you ages! - I keep the tub next to my bed, and a tube in
my handbag aswell when my lips are feeling EXTRA dehydrated.
Just please, go buy a tube or tub now...you
won't ever look back.
