I am a lip balm junkie. I am always trying new ones. I use them for moisturizing my lips. When I accidentally leave home without lip balm, I freak out.
What is your favorite lip balm?

Me too. I have several on or near me at all times. There are three on the coffee table in front of me right now. I am not super picky although there are a few I don't like. Good old Carmex is usually my fave. The Carmex moisture plus (in the long silver tube) are awesome.

Carmex is usually my go-to one. I like the idea of a lot of the others, but many of them are too waxy or just feel weird and don't work that well.

Yesterday, a dog I know leaped up and licked me between the lips. I felt like Lucy. Dog Germs! Get some soap and water. Get some disinfectant! Actually, one of the best is an old tried and true. It is RoseBud. It protected my lips when I skied all day in -15 F weather. It protects them when it is dry outside. A small tin of it goes a long way. MooMoo the dog likes it too.

Used to be old fashioned chap stick in the strawberry flavor. My daughter made me try EOS. I have to say I really like it in strawberry. It is nice and smooth. Also organic. At least that what it says on the package, I did not research it more than that.

Cherry Vaseline and I get it on Amazon subscribe and save. I keep them everywhere: the nightstand, my home office and office, my car, my purse, my gym locker, my gym bag, my sons diaper bag. Nothing else will do! You could say I'm a little obsessed.

Nivea in the light blue tube, Eos, or Softlips. I'm picky - a lot of lip balms are too waxy or don't glide on well. I didn't have any with me in the hospital when I had DD and my lips got so chapped they cracked - it was worse than the c section! (Only kinda kidding )

They are nice going on, but I feel like I need to reapply in 5 minutes. I have several packs. Do you want me to stick them in a padded envelope and send them to you? If so, PM me your address.

My lip balms have to be in a tube. I don't want any where I have to use my fingers because I am afraid my fingers will have germs on them and then I will rub the germs on my lips and get sick. Is that crazy thinking?
My favorite balm is Cococare Cocoa Butter and it's super cheap.

I pick up enough illnesses without looking for more.

I'm addicted to lipbalm too. My fave is now EOS. I really wish they had it in less bulkier packaging option though, sometimes it's really large for smaller purses and you can't just stick it in your pocket.

I was shopping online for lip balms today, checking the best-sellers on different sites, and saw EOS in a tube. I think that was on drugstore.com

It really has become my favorite one, after trying other ones over the last decade or so. I'm going to go check it out, thanks.

I carry hand sanitizer with me wherever I go. I have to deliver to doctors offices, and touch filthy mail. The VA lets old men send fecal samples through the mail. I am never more than 5 minutes from a clean restroom. It is easy for me, and the Rosebud. BTW, whatever tube you are touching, you are transferring germs to the tube.

Badger Balm. I like the mint, tangerine, and mocha varieties. And the little tins and tubes have a picture of a badger on them, but the lip balm does not contain any badger components at all, and no badgers are harmed in the production of the lip balm.
Rosebud is good, but I prefer Badger Balm.

The Blistex dark blue kind in a tube I use at night or when my lips are really chapped. I loved this liquid infusion kind Blistex had in a silver tube with a roller ball but all the stores by me quit carrying it.
Right now in my purse I have Bare Minerals, EOS, and Maybelline Baby Lips or whatever it's called and assorted lip glosses and lipstick. Yeah I'm a total lip product junkie.

I always have several tubs of Blistex Menthol - the stuff in the blue container. I like the tingle of the menthol (I guess?). Like others I would prefer a chapstick or a lipstick type balm but those ones don't provide the same level of tingle.
My take on having to dip my finger in and put it on my lips is that it keeps me healthy by always testing my immune system. That's my theory anyway. Everyone in the office had a cold except me last year... probably because of my blistex habit.

Ive used and liked MadGab's Lip Lube and Lip Butter, but it's been 4 or 5 years since I've had any of their products. Keep meaning to order some but never get around to it. I tend to use chapstick or carmex or blistex - just cause I've always got a tube or two of them in lots of places (work bag, purse, medicine chest, etc.)

We just bought the medicated chapstick and I like it a lot. We usually get burts bees but I need something heavy duty for my lips right now.

I always used to use Vaseline Lip Therapy, but it's too hard to find around here now. I like the Avon Moisture Therapy that my mother gives out every Christmas. Apparently this year she forgot that Christmas was on Dec. 25, and I had to ask her a few days ago if she had gotten any to give. (She did - yea!)

My favorites are Strawberry Chapstick, Soft Lips and Burt's Bees. EOS is on my list to try, so based on everyone's comments, I apparently need to get some and try it.

I make my own lip balm, it is the only thing that keeps my lips soft in the Midwestern winter! It blows all the old ones I used like Burt's bees and nivea out of the water. The only thing that ever can close was one called lipsyl... But it was $4 a tube and I went through it like crazy.

Vaseline, the balms that look like little tubs of the stuff work wonders. Cocoa butter flavor is pretty mellow, definitely worth a try
