Top Lip Balms

By shahnaz

Lip balmMy top lipbalms to help keep your lips soft and kissable throughout winter, lets face it ladies – cracked, chapped, dry and flaky lips are not attractive!

1, Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream – this is my favourite and I can’t live without this product also good on dry cuticles! Or you can buy the Lip Protectant only – around £25 or more!

2, Kiehl’s Lip Balm – is available in Cranberry, Mango and Vanilla flavours. I prefer the original – £9.50

3, Burt’s Bees Natural Lip Balm – with coconut and sunflower oils to nourish and soften lips – £3.49

4, Carmex – an old favourite and now in Cherry Flavour perfect handbag size – £2.44
