THE BATTLE OF THE LIPBALM.

lip balms, lip balms and lip balms. You get them thrown in your face wherever you go, grocery shopping, night shopping, shopping for clothes and every other kind of with shopping involved. But what is good actually? I mean seriously, there are millions of lip balms all over the world and they come in millions of different colours, shapes, tastes and scents. Do these elements make the product better? Is it worth spending the extra money? Let's find out.

I have been looking for the perfect lip balm practically all my entire life which contains a small amount of 23 years. Not that much, no indeed. But long enough to have broken and brittle lips everyday and almost giving up all hope about them. Lipstick looks weird on your lips because of the loose little bits of skin, the cracked feeling lipstick gives you and the bloody feeling, literally.

I've been testing some different lip balms for over a year now and i have to admit. it's not how more expensive it gets the better it is, no. Let's say for starters that Labello is no bueno, it tastes good and smells like a fresh spring morning in a flowerbed somewhere in the countryside.

Products that have been tested are:

EOS lip balm in blackcurrant. 8€

CARMEX original lip balm. 3.45€

CARMEX lip balm in tube with cherry flavour. 3.50€

MAC lip moisturizer tube. 15.50€

BABY LIPS lipbalm by maybelline. 4€

Of all these lip balms i tried i have to say i crack for the CARMEX original stick. It's minty, feels healthy and fresh. it leaves a soft layer on the lips protecting them and at the same time nourishing the lips.

Second place goes to the CARMEX lip balm cherry, there is less product in its container and you get bored of the cherry flavour in a short time. But it nourishes at the same high level as the original one!

Third is the MAC lip conditioner. Comparing to their other amazing products this one is way to expensive for what it gives you. it indeed moisturises the lips but it's not the wonder product you need and the tube gets really messy fast.

Fourth is the EOS lip balm. A complete trashy no, i am sorry for the people who thought it's a hype and is so freaking good. No it's not. It tastes and smells awesome, i admit. But as for nourishing and lip care it's worth crying. 

Fifth is the BABY LIPS from Maybelline. It doesn't even stay on for 2 minutes. even tough 4€ is not that bad the product is not nice. it's not smooth when you put it on and it seems to disappear within 2 minutes and you'll look like a lip balm addict when putting it on a zillion times a day. 

I hoped this helped you all out when choosing your next lip balm, don't doubt whenever it's cheap, the doubt should come when it goes over 5€.
