This
Kim Kardashian favorite nourishes the lips, tastes great and lasts for months. It is encased in a sphere shaped container, helping to keep it as
fresh as possible and make
application even easier. As all
eos lip balms are made using
100% natural ingredients, they contain
no petrolatum and are
paraben-free. For those living in the USA, this vitamin enriched balm is very
budget friendly. However it can be quite expensive and tricky to get hold of for us Brits.
EVE LOM Kiss Mix
Promise: “Beautifully chic and filled with a luxurious blend of active extracts, this moisturising, protective and cooling lip treatment has it all”
Price: £16.00/$22.00 7ml

This lip balm is quite different from the others on the market because it has a
gluey like texture. It is
ultra hydrating and gives lips a beautiful
glossy finish. The EVE LOM Kiss Mix contains
menthol, to cool and freshen the lips and
beeswax, to seal in moisture for longer hydration. Although on the pricey side, this lip balm makes the perfect lip treatment as it
repairs and soothes damaged lips.
Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm
Promise: “This natural lip balm is loaded with coconut and sunflower oils, rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids, to nourish, condition and soften lips”

The Burt's Bees Beeswax lip balm is a
cult classic. It was actually this
iconic lip balm that launched the brand into the beauty market (they started off making candles!). This is my favourite lip balm on the list as it keeps lips
nourished, it lasts for ages and it is
really affordable. In addition to
beeswax,
coconut oil and
sweet almond oil, Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm also contains
peppermint oil which
plumps lips a little and gives the most refreshing tingling sensation.
Promise: “This cult-favorite, multi-purpose lip balm soothes dry lips, calms and heals irritation, and soothes the sting of minor burns”
Price: £8.50/$6.00 22g
Purchase: Selfridges,
Sephora
This famous salve is a beauty classic, loved for its
rose scent, pretty packaging and
multiple uses. Smith's Rosebud Salve not only nourishes and
heals lips, it helps to treat everything from
minor burns and
dry patches to
cracked heels and
rashes. Although this salve may seem more expensive than your average lip balm, you do get 22g worth of product - which is around 3 times the normal amount!
