Goodbye Summer, Hello Chapped Lips!

Yesterday I tearfully put my summer clothes away in to storage, and replaced them with my fall/winter wardrobe.  I must admit I am not looking forward to the cold days ahead.

Bye bye summer clothes. :'(

 With this in mind, I decided to try a couple of new lip balms to keep my pout smooth 

for the chapping season. 

** Not pictured, EOS in Honey Dew. 

1. Rose Salve:  Doesn't keep my lips as smooth as I'd like and really doesn't taste good at all considering it smells like roses.  I'd recommend this product for your heels and cuticles though!

2. Jouer Lip Enhancer:  Love it! My lips are soft and kissable.  Not much of a taste, but at least it works.

3. Jack Black's Lip Balm:  Also fantastic.  Softens lips as most reviews say it does but the mint flavor is awful!! It tastes like a black licorice, which I can't stand.  

4. Befine Lip Balm: I just got this one in my Birchbox this month, and so far so good.  However,  it is SUPER slippery.  It is not as creamy smooth as the others, it's very liquidy so dispense with caution.

5.  Blistex Complete Moisture:  Completely the opposite of it's name.  It moisturizes for the first 10 mins. and then leaves me chapped all over again.  Def not a future repeat purchase.

6.Coconut Vanilla Lip Balm from the Little Soap Shop in Astoria NY:  This lip balm is a bit grainy, like its exfoliating your lips.  It's absolutely delicious and is especially great before bed.  LOVE IT. 

7. EOS Honey Dew Lip Balm:  Evolution of Smooth my ass.   I wanted so badly to like this lip balm.  It's adorable spherical shape and great taste were so tempting, but it DOES NOT WORK. May as well smother water on my lips bc it will have the same effect.  Don't bother unless you're looking for some tasty coat for your pout.
