The Best Lip Balms for Your Personality

Its that time of year where you find yourself buying and carrying dozens of different lip care products to beat these dry chapped seasons. No need for any more of that nonsense. Here are our favorite lip care products to use this winter that will leave you with just the right look. Already use them and have a favorite flavor picked out? Well, lets just see what that might say about your personality.    

 Neutrogena Revitalizing Lip Balm 

This has been my favorite lip product since it came out. I never thought a lip balm could provide me with such great color, smell delicious and keep my lips healthy and soft.

Healthy Blush (my personal favorite shade) is for the young lady who always likes to be in control (not that that’s me or anything). It allows for a hint of color and shimmer without being overwhelming. For those more adventurous and extravagant, Sunny Berry is a great pinkish plum shimmer for the winter.

Nivea Soothing Lip Care 

This soothing balm is much less about the look and more about how your lips feel. So the many flavors don’t necessarily provide different looks, but different scents and tastes.

A Kiss of Shimmer is a great flavor for the confident girl who doesn’t need color to add to her look. She loves what she has and just wants to enhance it. Mint and Minerals is for the free spirit girl that lives a relaxed stress-free life to the fullest.

ChapStick 

This is the old faithful of lip care. It’s been around for so long for a reason. It gets the job done with so many fun flavors to choose from.

Of course there are the classics like Cherry for those nostalgic of their childhood; maintaining her playful attitude in any way possible including using a chap-stick that smells like the envious Hi-C juice boxes that defined your childhood. Or Spearmint for the more sophisticated older woman whose busy and organized lifestyle made her successfully fulfilled.

Maybelline Baby Lips

This Maybelline moisturizing lip balm completely seals in moisture without constantly having to reapply. It leaves your lips looking silky smooth week after week.

Pink Punch for the bubbly personable socialite who lives by the motto the more the merrier. Peach Kiss’s tope tone is perfect for the quiet and kind girl whose loyalty makes her a great companion.

If I Had A 'Beauty Awards' For Lip Balms, These Are Them

I change my bag at least once a day between a tote, hobo and clutch and am gauranteed to find at least two lip products in each of them as I do the swap.  When it comes to balms, sticks and glosses, I have a billion.  I guess you can say I've been searching for the perfect lip balm without even trying and accidentally found them.  There's two to be fair (seriously, how could I pick one?), an oldie but goodie and brand new gem that always make it into my bag. Fist is MAC Lip Tinted Conditioner SPF 15 in Petting Pink.  I used to use MAC's lip conditioner a long time ago (I'm talking years) and then got distracted by so many other new products that I actually forgot about it.  I don't know how I could have forgotten about a product this good.  While at Sundance last weekend, MAC Makeup Artist, Keri Blair tweeted that this has been her go-to product during Sundance and I was thrilled because she reminded me of it's greatness.  I saw her at lunch the next day and she brought me one!  I love that it's called a conditioner, because it really does condition my lips.  It's a medium weight emollient that adds a bit of sheer, natural color to my lips.

The other is a new lip balm, Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment Advanced Therapy,  which is new this winter and I started using at Sundance as well.  I've always been obsessed with the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment, but this is different.  It seriously fixes your lips.  My lips have been really dry lately and this is my go-to.  I haven't even been able to wear lipstick because of the chapped lines (I know, ew), so this has been my treatment.  It really hydrates and corrects.  Last week Joe couldn't find his Blistex and I gave this to him and he smeared so much across his lips I was like "Nooooo...!!!!!"  All is well, I just covet it and now he does too!

Fall Must-Have: Votre Vu Bebe Duette

Most of the time when I come across two-in-one beauty products I find that I like them for one reason, but wouldn't really use them for the other. Recently I was sent Votre Vu Bebe Duette Luxe Lips and Tarte D' Amande, which is the simpliest of all two-in-one's, yet genius!  I don't know any woman who wouldn't use it. It's a tube of rich almond scented hand cream with a cap that contains a super nourishing lip balm made of coconut oil, shea butter and beeswax. Bonus – the top of the cap has a tiny mirror inside!

I'm obsessed with moisturizing and know this will be in my handbag all Fall and Winter.  You can get it on votrevu.com as a package of two for $39.50.

Enhance Your Pout & Get Tipsy

According to Bite Beauty, women apply lipstick on an average of five times a day.  Well, if you apply Bite's lipsticks five times per day you may end up wasted.  Just kidding... but if you like red wine as much as I do, this one's for you.

Each of Bite Beauty's new lipsticks contain as much resveratrol as five glasses of red wine.  So no, it won't get you drunk, but it will give your pout a boost of antioxidants.  Because of its benefits, resveratrol is an ingredient that has been used in skincare for the past few years.

The collection includes Luminous Creme Lipstick, High Pigment Pencils, Lip Shine (a gloss), Lip Rouge (my fave), SPF 15 Sheer Lip Balm, a vitamin lip gel and a nourishing super fruit butter.  They range from $18 - $24 and can be found at Sephora.
