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!

Lucas paw paw cream.

is as good, or better thanThe 8hr cream, and doesn't smell of rancid petrol.

Mail order, about a fiver for 200ml tub, lasts me a year.

Good for cuts, burns, spots and nappy rash. Smells like pineapple custard.

Carmex in a pot.

The best thing for lips ever!

GoldenAutumnDays · 11/10/2012 20:15

Another vote for the Carmex I won't use anything else.

iwantavuvezela · 11/10/2012 20:19

Kiels. Absolutely the best!

gingerpig · 11/10/2012 20:20

Carmex.

AmberLeaf · 11/10/2012 20:20

Carmex really does last too.

Nivea lip balm SOS, I always keep the tube in the car for drive to work

xmasevebundle · 11/10/2012 20:39

I use chap stick as a back up if i dont have my burt bee's!

I love the carmax as well, so you have lots of choices Grin

Itsgottabebags · 11/10/2012 20:43

Are there any that aren't petroleum based?

I love my 8 hour cream in a glass pot. Lasts years.
Don't rate burts bees!
Am tempted to try Carmex after all the recommendations on here.

Agatha Prada de la Ruiz lipbalms - amazing. I used to be a Carmex devotee until I found this. I've been using it for about a decade, used to buy a load each time I went to Spain or ask friends to get it for me but now it's available online. Brilliantly moisturising and a pot lasts for ages.

Another vote for Carmex in a pot.

Flippityjig · 11/10/2012 20:58

I use Burts Bees every day and Carmex in the tub when my lips are sore. Works wonders.

mamasmissionimpossible · 11/10/2012 20:59

Carmex here too. My dd keeps pinching it, so Father Christmas is bringing her some of her own! Wink

CalamityKate · 11/10/2012 21:02

Nivea SOS.

nannyj · 11/10/2012 21:03

Dr Lipp is good and lasts ages.

ihatethecold · 11/10/2012 21:29

Notfootballs lip balm sounds well posh !

MrsWooster · 11/10/2012 21:33

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

BulletProofMum · 11/10/2012 21:36

I also vote for lansinoh. Nipple cream rocks!

maisiebabe · 11/10/2012 21:37

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.

Nicnocknoo · 11/10/2012 21:39

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

battherat · 11/10/2012 21:41

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

Eliza22 · 11/10/2012 21:50

Carmex.
