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!

Well in a rush I bought this as my lips were really sore. I am not keen on the fragrance but apart from that it's great.

Carmex, original, in the pot. Cheap and the best by far.

I didn't think much of Carmex. I still revery to the chapsticks I used to use constantly as a teenager.

Fave is Korres lip butter in Jasmine...which tastes like faint vanilla.

carmex one in a pot, cherry flavour, or burts bees.

I swear by Badger Balm. The tins are cuter than the tubes.

Burts Bees is the best lip balm I have ever used. I used to buy a new lip balm pretty much every week in search of the holy grail of lip balms.

Not anymore.

Burts Bees! This is the one

Absy mon fleur, it's in a tube and is a really thick clear gel. So you squeeze a dab onto the shaped nozzle and slather onto your lips. I swear it's made my top lip plumper too.

I do love the smell of Nuxe RdM (grapefruit - yum) but it's just a bit too flat matte for everyday. Great at night though - and for the kids/blokes. Under red lippy it's the best (I stole that idea from Lisa Eldridge).

Absy I read recently that most lanolin sensitivity is caused by impurities in the lanolin, like sheep dip Confused

Lansinoh is fantastic.

Carmex in the pot is ok. Vaseline and burts bees are ok but they only work a short time and are useless for really cracked lips.

Nip balm every time.

actually, carmex has lanolin in it is which is why I can't use it - very sensitive to it and it makes my lips flaky

Another one for the Nuxe Reve du Miel. MIL gave it to me nearly a year ago - use it all the time and still have a lot left. Also the 8 hour lipbalm is good.

Vaseline - crap, carmex - rubbish for me.

Pinot my love - the one you link to - is it solid or liquidy?

Lanolips.

Surprised no-one's mentioned it so far! Smells of roses, £15 from Boots, has won loads of awards, has super pure lanolin in it.

Waitrose Baby Bottom Butter. Best thing ever for lips and cheap.

Carmex is great but looks too shiny

Nuxe reve de miel is great but is a bit too matte (but perfect under lippy)

This that I found in a pharmacy in southern France, is THE BEST. Better than all the rest It's a bargain too on that site - was 12Euro. And bear in mind this is southern france where it's hot, windy, and then cold in winter. It's the only lipbalm the Pharmacy stocked - it's that good.

I bought one, tried it, loved it, bought 4 more.

Nuxe reive de meil lip balm. Is £10 and lasts hours on your lips. Comes in a cute little glass jar and has a honey smell but nothing too much and texture slightly gritty but smoothes my lips so much.

CAn get cheaper from Internet

8 hour! Again the cream not the balm. Yu-be cream is pretty good too. I use it everywhere that's dry or cracked.

Carmex - I panic when I can't find mine.

Burts bees natural ( pinky colour) or dahlia- lovely red colour. Sali rexommended it and its fab. Have one in every coat & jeans pocket. Also a vote here for Carmex in a pot.

I also vote for lansinoh. Nipple cream rocks!

Yep, lansinoh - though you need to rub it in or it looks like you've got rabies. Rabies AND smooth lips.
