Recommend me a brilliant lip balm for winter weather!

I just want one that stays on for a few hours and leaves my lips moisturised.

Price wise I am prepared to spend up to twenty pound as I need one so much I am prepared to fork out!

Le Roche posay do two, a lip balm and a bigger tube of ointmenty type stuff that's absolutely brilliant if you crack abd bleed.

They were in the region of ?8.50 and ?12 respectively but they last forever and really work

Itsgottabebags · 11/10/2012 19:21

Right. That's on my list to look at.

I had a loccitane honey one. It was the best I've ever had by a mile!

ParrotTulip · 11/10/2012 19:25

The dermalogica one or the neutrogena one.

Have you tried Blistex Relief Cream? Cheap but v good

susiefen · 11/10/2012 19:30

Burts Bees is the best one I have ever used (and I've tried a few!:))

Mintyy · 11/10/2012 19:30

Carmex, the one and only.

FreakoidOrganisoid · 11/10/2012 19:33

Flexitol do a great one

MsPickle · 11/10/2012 19:37

Elizabeth Ardern 8 hour cream in a lip balm. Brilliant. Also Burts Bees and lansinoh used here! Blistex to repair underneath on occasion.

MamaGeekChic · 11/10/2012 19:38

Carmex, I prefer the wee pot to the tube

LittleBlackDress · 11/10/2012 19:39

Nip balm Grin

Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

HazeltheMcWitch · 11/10/2012 19:39

I can second Burts Bees as a good lip balm.
But when I had chemo and my lips cracked horribly, I tried seemingly every lip balm out there, and it was Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream that helped in the end (and hence is what I now use). Not the stick - that also was no use - but the greasy stuff in the tube!

RichTeaAreCrap · 11/10/2012 19:40

You are prepared to pay? In that case there is no contest here, you NEED Clarins lip balm, it is fantastic Smile

LittleBlackDress · 11/10/2012 19:41

X-post yy to the tube and not the stick

QuietNinjaTardis · 11/10/2012 19:42

Carmex is fab.

SecondHandNews · 11/10/2012 19:42

Another one for Eight Hour Cream. I used to get pretty dry lips (when we all had those tins of vaseline at school!) and this is the only thing that helps. Don't suffer at all any more. Put it on before bed and throughout the day - the cream is nice and shiny too for daytime. Agree - not the stick, just the cream in the tube.

TheFlumpsHaveEyes · 11/10/2012 19:42

Carmex - no frills but makes your lips lovely and soft.

mathanxiety · 11/10/2012 19:42

Carmex (another vote).

fromheretomaternity · 11/10/2012 19:58

Carmex!!!

dogrilla · 11/10/2012 20:00

Agree with nip balm - it really is the best on lips. Once you've used Lansinoh, everything else feels thin and insubstantial in comparison.

Burts bees stings like hell on really cracked lips, my mother is always pushing it on me and can't understand why I don't love it as much as she does
