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)

use nipple cream- the best thing ever

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.

Carmex

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

FestiveOrganisoid · 09/12/2010 11:10

Carmex

RiojaLover75 · 09/12/2010 11:10

Elizabeth Arden Eight hour lip protectant! Fantastic stuff, the only stuff I use.

preciousmum · 09/12/2010 21:35

Notrogeanna one is good one as well

lovelyopaque · 09/12/2010 21:36

Carmex - the one in the tin.

beanlet · 11/12/2010 16:36

Lansinoh. Bit greasy but awesome and long lasting.

JustDoMyLippyThenWeWillGo · 11/12/2010 16:42

Dr Hauschka

HowsTheSerenity · 11/12/2010 16:45

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

I love Burt's Bees.

MooMooFarm · 11/12/2010 18:25

I've tried loads and carmex is the only one which really works for me

MickyLee · 11/12/2010 18:28

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

Bellebelle · 11/12/2010 18:37

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.

bodyshop lip butter is FABBY:)

Blisteze or whatever it is called is brilliant.

StarlightPrincess · 11/12/2010 20:27

Palmers Cocoa Butter is fab!

DuffyMoon · 11/12/2010 20:38

carmex for every day - blisteze/blistex for emergencies
