Best lip balm?

[Raindrop87]

First time mum and looking for a good lip balm for my hospital bag, any recommendations for something lovely?

I find blistex is the only one that works for me

Bobbi Brown in the silver tin is good.

Anyone tried the Elizabeth Arden one?

I use the Elizabeth Arden 8 hr cream for lips but it's also good for little cuts and sore areas. It also worked wonders for really bad nappy rash

But expensive so used on bums only once or twice!

Yes, 8hr cream is great - I’d recommend the tinted (or natural) lipstick.

Nuxe

I'm a big fan of Korres lip butter

Lanolin mixed with a bit of petroleum jelly.

Neutrogena Norwegian formula lip balm stick

Also Vaseline over the top, especially at night

The EOS ones in the round tubs are amazing. I have one lurking in every room and handbag.

@Raindrop87 I am a huge consumer of lip balms. Have been since I was a teenager so now I have to use it or my lips will be too painful. I make my own according to this recipe but no essential oils: www.happinessishomemade.net/10-minute-diy-lip-balm/ - I love it because it's very moisturising and cheap as chips. I get the beeswax and shea butter from Amazon and the coconut oil (which I use to remove make up) from the local Asian food store.

As for Elizabeth Arden, while the 8hr cream is great on your lips, the actual lip balm is useless!

Nuxe do a nice one. If you’re planning on breastfeeding, buy Lanisoh or the Mama mio nipple balm are great for lips.

Malin & Goetz Lip Moisturiser is amazingly soothing and long lasting. It's my go-to and always in my bag now.

There is also a Mojito flavoured one which is really nice too!

Eos even

Burts bees flavour crystals in orange. Lovely and fresh. Good luck with the baby OP!

Blistex for me too. Really works. Do t like the oil based ones.

Worth thinking about one that’s not in a pot. If you’re in hospital I wouldn’t want to be dipping my fingers in a pot and putting it round my mouth! I’ve used Eos and liked them.

Carmex for me every time. The one in the little round pot with a screw lid (not the tinted ones in a tube).

-Kiehls lip balm
-M&S lip balm stick (mint) is superb! One of the best I have ever used (it's a green tube and you find it as you check out).
-Uriage Eau Theramale lip balm (stick) is also superb!

I have used Elizabeth Arden many times but it tends to dry your lips out over time. You become very dependent on it and it requires a lot of reapplying. If I were to narrow it down to one, it would be Uriage.

Petit Marseillais or Nivea

I'm currently extremely impressed with O'Keefe lip repair and protect. I don't like gunky stuff on my lips and this has transformed my lips in a couple of applications.
