First of all run, don't walk away, from ALL lip balms - they only irritate the skin and I believe they have an addictive ingredient that keeps you looking for more to use.

Enter - Good old Vaseline for the lips and cuticles before bed will leave both feeling and looking soft and subtle. It's a cheap and cheerful approach that will never let you down.

Carry around a little pocket size for daytime or use it over lipstick. Its also great for chapped noses that are suffering a cold. It's a wonder product all right and no gal or guy should be without it.

Save your money and purchase a bottle of Vitamin E gel capsules and break the capsule open and apply the pure Vitamin E gel and what's left apply around your cuticles. This is a ritual for me at night before I go to bed. Volia, wake up with soft, heathly lips and some extra change to go buy that new lip shade that everyone is talking about!

If you were to open my purse right now, you would find one beauty item! The cutest round tin of SunEssence, Lip Topping, in an SPF 15 called “Spearmint Splurge” I love it! It keeps my lips soft, supple and protected all at once.

I have tubes of Clinique Intense Lip Repair in my apartment and my purse because it leaves my lips moist and never feels waxy.

  • Moisturized lips will keep lipstick on longer because color binds better to moisture than to lips that are cracked and dry.
  • For days when I want sheer color, I put on my Lip Repair and color in my lips lightly with a lipliner. Your pucker will feel fuller and sexier!

I suggest using a treatment that exfoliates the lips and brings fresh skin to the surface, I like to use Lancome Lip Primodale, you can purchase at www.lancome.com, you are going to want to use a lip balm that has an spf, I would suggest getting Burt Bees.
