Lip Balm Review

Hey Everyone!
I'm back with a quick lip balm review on CARMEX, EOS, and ROSEBUD SALVE.

First off, the CARMEX lip balm.

PROS: 
  • inexpensive
  • very moisturizing 
CONS:
  • formula is a little thick when applied
  • has a strong medical scent
Purchased for $2.00 at WALMART. Overall, I give this lipbalm a 3.9/5.

Second, EOS summer fruit. 
 PROS:
  • goes on lips smooth
  • amazing fruity scent
  • easy to apply, love the cute egg shape packaging
CONS:
  • lasting power not long enough
 Purchased for $3.99 at LONDON DRUGS.Overall, I give this lipbalm a 4/5.


Lastly, ROSBUD SALVE.
 PROS:
  • very moisturizing
  • long lasting power
CONS:
  • pricier
  • inconvenient to apply with fingers
  • a little oily looking
Purchased for $8.00 at AMERICAN APPAREL.Overall, I give this lipbalm a 4.5/5.

These three lip balms are my overall favorites if I am looking to moisturize my lips day or  night. I tend to apply the CARMEX lipbalm at night before I go to bed so that the thick formula can be absorbed into my lips and give me a set of kissable lips in the morning<3
In the morning when I put  my makeup on I will first apply the ROSEBUD SALVE so it can moisten my lips for lipstick later. During the day when I feel that my lips are getting dry and chapped, EOS comes in handy for that extra delicious scent and moisture. 


That's it for now ;) Thanks for reading!

P.S. And don't forget to exfoliate your lips for a smoother canvas for your lipstick to be applied on! Remember! don't suck or lick your lips too often girls, the salt in your saliva will dry up the skin on your lips and cause flaky, cracked lips :S nobody wants to kiss flaky lips!!
So pucker up and apply your lipbalm ladies.
