I wouldn’t say that I’m a lip balm addict, but more of an enthusiast. Since it’s relatively inexpensive, lip balm’s my most purchased cosmetic item. By the way, I’m not much of a makeup person!
When it comes to lip care, I rarely go back to the same product. Instead, I’m fairly non-committal, preferring a rotation of new products. Currently, I have Yes To Carrots’ C Me Smile Lip Butter (Carrot) in my purse.
It does the job, but I’m not too crazy about the scent, so I’ll only use it when I’m out ‘n about. (I purchased it at a Target, in the US, and all products were sealed, so I wasn’t able to do a smell-test beforehand. 🙁 ) What I do like about the product is that it’s 95% organic, all natural, and paraben-free.
I also like the fact that it’s a stick formation, so it’s convenient and hygienic for applying on-the-go!
At home, on my nightstand, I have Smith’s Lip Balm (Minted Rose). After reading good reviews, I purchased it on American Apparel online while I was taking advantage of their sales.
As you can see, it’s in an antique-looking tin. So a definite bonus is that I’ll be able to use ALL of the product! However, some people find this method of application ‘dirty’ since you have to dip your finger into it, so for this reason, I only use the Smith’s at home, after ensuring that my hands are clean.
(Although stick lip balms are convenient and relatively clean, I hate it when I’m nearing the tube. I do attempt to dig residual product with my nail, but after a gf shrieked in horror, I stopped…at least when she’s ’round! 😉 )
I also like the minty scent of the Smith’s. Whereas I find flavours such as chocolate, butterscotch, caramel, coffee, etc. absolutely gross!
Whether it’s stick or tin, mint or chocolate (blech!), lip balm is definitely something that I make sure is in my purse come wintertime. So, if you’re a lip balm addict or even enthusiast, what balms do you like?

I do believe Shoppers Drug Mart is capitalizing on the fact that people are in a panic that their points balances are low after redeeming at last weekend’s mega bonus redemption. For those who want to build their points back up, this Saturday, Dec. 10th will be a 20x points event. However you need to spend at least $75 (before taxes) instead of the usual $50. The Ontario flyer has kindly been posted HERE by g_skywalker. Thank you so much! Now I can make my shopping list and see which coupons expiring on Dec. 31st I can use.
