Overview + Review: Lip balms

I actually realized that I didn't really like how I looked in this video, so I deleted it :)
I am keeping the info here though, in case anyone was interested


Burt's Bees Beeswax lip balm ($3) - my personal favorite, absorbs well, tingly minty feeling, seems to make the fine lines of my lips less noticeable

L'Oreal HiP Jelly Balm ($9) - very comfortable wear, smells like caramel, tint of color; slightly overpriced & in pot form, I suggest getting it on sale


Victoria's Secret Just Kiss Me Glossy Lip Balm in Sexy Bomb - ($12) possibly discontinued, tinted lip balm, comfortable wear, no scent; if you see it at the semi-annual sale I recommend it (not true to the name for the glossy part, but it's a decent lip balm)

CoverGirl LipSlicks in Princess - ($4) very creamy/moisturizing, old-school lipstick smell, tint of color

Carmex Click-Stick in Strawberry - ($2) hate the medicinal smell, but moisturizes very well & has SPF 15

Lypsyl Lypmoisturizer - ($3) very thick, somewhat moisturizing but a lot is left in the morning when I applied it the night before, minty feel/scent not as strong as Burt's Bees

CVS Tropical SPF 30 lip balm - ($2) smells nice, has a sheen after applied, high SPF but doesn't seem to moisturizer lips that well

Soft Lips SPF 20 in Cherry - ($3) expensive for the amount of product given, very light but not that moisturizing on the lips

Blistex Lip Medex - ($2) slight medicinal smell, very thick as well and doesn't fully absorb into the lips, in pot form to need to use finger/lip brush

Chapstick Classics in Cherry and Spearmint - ($2) very waxy, not that moisturizing, leaves a film on lips - would not recommend, but I haven't tried the other lines, so perhaps they're okay

Lip Smackers lip balm - ($2) gives a sheen but not enough to be a "lip gloss" as claimed, somewhat moisturizing but not a super comfortable wear; tons of flavors, some with a light tint of color

Aquafina lip balm, the trio - ($4) seems to "dry out" my lips, need to reapply frequently to keep lips moisturized; smells artificial but not bad, overall haven't used in a year

Nature's Made lip balm in Chamomile - ($1) from Walmart, you get what you pay for, it's not moisturizing, leaves a film on the lips, and smells very bad.
