Ok so we all know that it's the winter season. One thing that lets us know is our lips. Even though I don't live in the coldest section of the country, it does get cold and windy, and the air gets dryer; hence, my lips get very dry and at times chapped. I have come across some great products to treat this and some other lip favorites I wanted to share with you. Some of these items I have bought from Sephora, some from Ulta, and some from Suds-n-Sass.
So first let me start off with Suds-n-Sass. This is a great small business online bath and beauty site that I have come to love!!! The owner, Beth, sells a variety of makeup, bath, and fragrance items. Suds-n-Sass sells one of my favorite things...Jelly Balms, which are her lip balms. They are full of wonderful moisturizing ingredients for your lips and are also tinted for a hint of color. My favorite two are Bitten and Lucky Penny. Definately check those out!
Another product that has become a love of mine over the last 3 weeks is the Korres Lip Butters. These are amazing. If you haven't tried them yet, head over to Sephora or Ulta or wherever else Korres is sold in your area and check them out. They are $9 a jar and are totally worth it. They are made with shea butter which really helps dry, chapped lips. They come in a wide range of colors and scents. The Jasmine one is completely nude on your lips. They give your lips a nice shine and are worth the money in my opinion. Korres also has lip glosses. I have the Cherry set and really like it.
I have also found that the lip balms from Avon work really well. I've been getting these from my students as Christmas gifts over the past week and find I really like them! If you don't have an Avon consultant near you, you can always order them online. They are amazingly cheap. Some of them only cost 99 cents. Can you beat that?
So the last item I have come to love over the last week that is lip related is by Fusion Beauty. The Lip Fusion Plumper and XL Plumper are totally worth the money in my opinion. I bought the double ended one to try them both out. One is their normal lip plumper...on the other side is the XL plumper that really plumps your lips without that stinging feeling that you get from most lip plumpers. My next purchase from Fusion will definitely be some of their plumping glosses. They can tend to be expensive, but I really like mine and do not regret the purchase.
My questions for you are:
Is winter taking a toll on you lips?
What are your favortie lip stuffies?
How do you beat those dry chapped lips?

How funny my most recent coffee talk was about lip products. Great minds think alike! You got me hooked on the Korres when you told me about it - I LOVE IT now :) I absolutely love suds-n-sass but I haven't tried the others. Guess I have to try those too! lol
I have like a ton od lip balm, teinted ones an do on but I'm always going back to the original Labello (blue one) if I'm gonna put lip gloss or lipstick on (or if it's before bedtime) or the cherry teinted, smelling Labello (red one) my fav' ever ^^
Winter always kills my lips. I always associated it with not being used to the cold, but this is insane. I literally have to put on lip balm 3 times a day just so my lips stay ok. My favorite lip stuff for winter is C.O. Bigelow Mentha lip shines. I have them in Pink Mint and Cherry (Which they don't sell anymore :( aw ). They do my lips good and last for a long time.
ooo im a lip gloss freak!! lol all this stuff seems amazing!! <3
That's really funny. I also choose The same makeup In a regular basis. It's something that always made me wonder why I always do that. Also if other people do it too. I guess it's because we feel sooo comfortable wearing certain things that we feel confortable with.
I love all kinds of lipglosses tooo it's the same as everyone.
The only chapstick I have is called lip medex and it's supposed to protect lips but a few minutes after it gets off my lips get chapped again. I don't know what to get.
I want to buy some of the ones you talked about.
I loooove Korres lip butter. I have both jasmine and pomegranate, and I use them everyday (especially the pomegranate).
Is winter taking a toll on you lips?
Yes my lips get dried to the point of cracking and solid skin where i have to exfoliate the skin off. I love the burt's bees lip balm because they're just refreshing and trust me i have the worst case of chapped lips EVER. i applied the burt's bees chapstick and within a minute my lips started feeling moisturized again! i can feel a sensation when i have it on which makes it feel like it's working. plus burt's bees contains lots of nutrients so it's good for your lips
of couse winter is killing my lips. My favorite stuff to use on my lips when they are super chapped it the c.o bigelow lemon lip balm, it makes my lips so soft and it smells and tastes like lemonade and my second thing is just plain vaseline. My favorite lip gloss though is the victoria secret lip gloss tubes, there kind of sticky but im ok with that, my favorites are slice of heaven and bubble it up.
I love my natural ice lipbalm - it always soothes my chapped lips. I prolly put it on 15 x a day!
