Alviana - Naturkosmetik (Natural Cosmetics) - Classic Feuchtigkeitspflege (Moisturiser)

This is a lip balm with organic jojoba oil, shea butter, beeswax, and olive oil.
It doesn't contain any synthetic fragrances, dyes, preservatives, silicones, or mineral oil-based ingredients.

The scent is faint and a mix of beeswax and shea butter.

It goes on smoothly, the product itself not too hard or too soft.
It isn't too sticky, my hair didn't get stuck in it.

After just one night of use, my lips are a lot less dry. I like it.

Scent: 2.5/5 (faint shea butter and beeswax)

Palmer's - Cocoa Butter Formula - Lip Balm

This is a stick lip balm that works so well.

It is great for bed time.
It is easy to wind up and apply, has a nice faint cocoa butter scent, and creates a moisturising barrier.
It is also SPF 15 to protect your lips from sum damage.

PU1 even has one and likes it (and she doesn't like a lot of things).

Burt's Bees - Strawberry - Lip Balm

I'm not normally a huge lip balm fan, but this is a game changer.
This balm is so soft (without being messy) and applies so easily!
It is really moisturising and gives a nice satin finish.

There is a wide range of flavours, I couldn't actually choose (I asked a friend to pick for me).
This isn't a fake strawberry flavour, it is like an unripe strawberry (it is actually really nice).

It is subtle and you wont feel it is overpowering.
J, you picked well!

From now on, if I need a lip balm, THIS is what I'd get :D

Price: 3.5/5 ($6.95)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

The Body Shop - Lip Balm - Honeymania

I got this out of the Advent calendar from earlier this year.
It isn't something I would normally gravitate towards, but I am glad I have it because I LOVE IT!

It is your basic waxy barrier balm formula but also adds some moisture as well.
The honey flavour/scent is a genuine honey scent and isn't over powering.

This is great to put on before bed so you wake up with lovely, soft lips. <3

Price: 3/5 ($9.95 for 10mL)

Art break- Lip balm for Parental Unit 1

So the Parental Unit 1 (Ma) has had dry lips for a while and my bff recommended the hemp lip conditioner from The Body Shop.

I wanted to give it an interesting packaging since I like to keep Ma's brain plastic.

So I got a large 'Redheads' match box...

And adapted it:

I was going to have her winking, but I didn't want to ruin one of those lovely eyes.

Verdict: She said it was 'cute' :D 

Now if I could just get her to the doctor to correctly diagnose her lip problem, then we'll be winning!

Elemis - Minty Moisture Lip Balm

The demise of this product was at my hand... I left it in my car and it melted :O
I am such a goose!

Liquid state aside, this is a nice basic lip balm.
Paraffin base, peppermint oil, a good barrier, and unisex lip balm.

I can't fault it. This is the type of thing you want on wind-chapped lips.

Price: 1/5 ($19 for 3 on ebay, hard to find)
Scent: 4.5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5
