Pucker Up Baby
I’ve come down with a horrid case of hives or a rash or something on my legs and arms. Probably some sort of product overload (it was bound to happen, right, running a beauty blog and all). So because of that, I am on testing hiatus at least where my body is concerned. Which is sad because I’ve got a load of new products I’m dying to try out.
However, being your dedicated beauty servant, I’ve come bearing news of some lip balms I’ve been enjoying lately.

This one glides on smoothly and hydrates nicely. This is one of the few Kiehls products I’m not allergic to, so I rejoice and apply liberally.
Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Lip Butter in Dark Chocolate & Peppermint
This is another one that goes on smoothly and gives your lips a lot of shine. And it’s flavored with dark chocolate and peppermint. Come on people - gotta love that.
Biggs & Featherbelle Soul Kiss Lip Balm

Biggs & Featherbelle use all natural ingredients in their products - no synthetics at all - which is what I love about this brand. Their Soul Kiss lip balm is made from beeswax, cocoa butter, sweet almond butter, kokum butter, sweet almond oil, apricot kernel oil, avocado oil and Vitamin E. Talk about a nourishing time for the lips! This one is harder in consistency and won’t give your lips much shine, but it will moisturize.
Are there enough words out there for me to lavish upon one of my favorite beauty brands? Their lip butter is a great part of the line, and has a gentle hint of vanilla and almond flavor. Yum.

Ouch - or scratch, itch! Feel better and I guess it would be best to lay off the products for a while.

Thanks! I’m just about all cleared up at this point - thank goodness!!

Oh no! I guess it was bound to happen testing all these products for us! You are a trooper my dear…a dedicated beauty trooper!
At least you can test lip blams for now - unless of course your lips swell up like Melanie Griffith! Only kidding!!!
Get well ~

oh, but one shouldn’t neglect Bare Escentuals/Minerals! Their “buzz late for lips” is phenomenal. AND, there aren’t any nasty mineral oils in it.

[…] Honestly, every time I buy a lip balm, I swear it’s going to be my last. I must have about 20 of the suckers. But this time (I swear!), I might have found my last. […]
