That time of the year is here – and I am sure no one is a fan of dry and chapped lips. I have selected a few lip balms, in different textures (some prefer more liberal application and texture than others!).
Lip balms and salves have come a long way in recent years – and they can actually work in a matter of hours. There are many options with flavours – but personally, I prefer something more neutral, which is reflected in the choices below.
Some of these products are new to me – others have been on my toiletry bag and handbag for years. Without further ado, here are my favourite lip balms for winter, all tried and tested, of course.
Lipstick format:
Marc Jacobs Lock Lips Moisture Balm
Costs: £18
Get it from Harrods, John Lewis, Sephora (USA)
REN Vita Mineral lip balm
Costs: £10
Get it from REN Skincare, John Lewis (currently has 25% off)
Lip balm format:
By Terry Baume De Rose SPF15
Costs: £39

Nuxe Ultra-nourishing Lip Balm Rêve de Miel
Costs: £9.50

La Mer Limited Edition lip balm

This are some of my favourite lip balms for winter – but there are SO many around! Which ones are your favourites? Let me know.

The La Mer lip balm sounds wonderful – I’ll give it a try!

I’m always looking for the perfect lip balm but prefer stick applicators personally. I think the Elemis ones (from BA Club World) are really good – I almost wrote they are free but they definitely aren’t:) Just recently got the Drunk Elephant Lippe Balm for a recent US Sephora haul. Recommend trying that next time you are there. The price on Amazon is absurd.

The Elemis ones are good – but I was in cold weather recently and they didnt perform 100%. But they are good! I shall try the other one you suggest!

Hello Lovely Lady,
a while ago you recommended Eqyptian Magic cream. Well I finally sourced some here in Australia and after using it for around 4 weeks I can honestly say it is MAGIC! My crowsfeet have soften and my skin feels incredible. It does produce a shine if using it on your face but I like that too. Thank you so much for alerting me to this amazing product. xo
