Hey, guys! I don't know if anyone else reading this has sensitive or dry lips like me, but it can be a painful and high maintenance life. Not to sound dramatic, but my dry lips are definitely my biggest pet peeve.
I've tried basically everything... the lip balm sticks... the Burt's Bees (which irritate my lips)... the eOS egg-shaped balms (they grow mold if you let them sit unused for a week - 'nuff said). These three balms are my tried and trues, including my #HolyGrail... I love them!
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Lip Therapy
Pros:
- #HolyGrail - It’s my favorite lip balm I’ve tried!
- Actually repairs your dry lips; the more you use it, the less you need it
- Non-addictive, doesn’t contain petroleums or other ingredients that make your lips depend on it
- Applicator wicks away any dead skin on your lips
- Amazing finish… gurrrl, it feels great!
Con:
- If you use too little of it, it can leave lips feeling irritated. Don’t be stingy
