Best lip balm/cream?

Vaseline is rubbish so looking for something new this winter. These ones seem readily available on the high street I am hoping at least one of them will be some good. If they are all rubbish though I will look for something different.

Blistex
Nivea
Carmex
Burt's Bees
Body Shop Vitamin E lip balm
Lush

Actually not Burt's Bees. Just remembered I've tried that and I've also tried Blisteze (think it's called Blistex Relief cream now)

I like Mr Lipp - found it once and never again. So good luck and if you come across it let me know.

I swear by the Body Shop vitamin E one. I seem to have lost mine since yesterday and am starting to panic Confused

DD uses Carmex.

No cornflake lips in my house Grin

Bit pricey but Eight Hour Cream is fab. Lasts forever too. The Cocoa butter one is quite good, they have that in big Boots stores.

Elisabeth harden "8 hours cream". It last for ever (so even if not cheap it is worth it).

If you can get it, there is a pharmacy only one that contains lanolin in a lap balm form. It is fab.

Another vote for 8 hr cream. I have the cream and the lipbalm, but think the cream is much better and lasts longer

Kitty - do you mean Dr Lipp? Space NK sell it on their website. I have a tube I bought a few years ago and agree it's fab, lasts ages.
