Perrrfect Stocking Stuffer: Lip Balm

My favorite lip balm is Burt's Bees Mango Butter, a great friend gave it to me as a gift & I've been obsessed ever since. I am glad to see it scored well: 2.  They also have a pomegranate flavor, which scored a 1, but I don't like the flavor as much as the mango, it tastes a little fake to me.

The Burt's Bees original flavor is a wonderful gift option too and it scored a 1.  It minty & it tingles your lips a little bit!

I've never tried Burt's Bees shimmer lip balm, but it scored a 2.  I also haven't tried their lip gloss, but it scored a 4 so I may avoid it.

Another of my favorites is: Egyptian Magic skin Cream.  I received it in my June Birchbox and now I use it every morning on my lips, its almost the consistency of petroleum jelly except not sticky.  It lasts forever, because I think I have half of the 0.5oz sample they sent me.  It has a strange, but not unpleasant flavor that fades.  It contains royal jelly, oh la la, haha.  It scored a zero! Yay! I have yet to try it on my face because it is so thick.

You may want to avoid the Chapstick brand lip balms, their scores ranged from from 4- to -6.

Weleda is a brand I've heard of.  I recently tried their hand lotion and liked it, but I haven't tried their lip balm, but it scored a zero!!! So great!

I bought S.W. Basics Lip Flight for someone last year & they loved it and it scored a zero!

If you want to exfoliate those lips try Suki exfoliate foaming cleanser, it tastes yummy, like lemons, totally ok to lick!  Its for you face too! I use it once a week to rub off my dry skin and as ofter as I remember on my lips.

I only spoke about products I'm familiar with, but please message me any products you want me to review/score.

Try Birchbox's Ingredient Conscious picks for your Holiday gifts this year.  They have a variety of lip balms I did not mention.  (I have no affiliation with Birchbox, I just love their website, the products they pick & their return policy)

Quick tip: If I can't find lip balm or lotion I just use coconut oil!!!  I love the way it smells & tastes & feels and it is a fabulous moisturizer.  I know quite a few people who use it on their face & hair.
