Curse this poxy weather we've been having recently! I thought I could dispense with lip balms and 8 Hour Cream in my bag, but oh no - there was snow to greet me the other morning on my way to work. My lips immediately re-descended into prune-like flakiness, and something had to be done.
I decided to try something new - after all, I've been through a pharmacy worth of Labello and Chapstick over the years, so I gave Lipz Vanilla Flavoured Lip Balm a whirl. Not generally that mad keen on vanilla really, but sure I'd try anything once, purely in the interests of research, you understand.
Happily, it's much more honey scented & flavoured and is actually quite delicious! Plus, and this is a major bonus, it has an SPF of 30 - much appreciated by me. And while it does contain the demon petroleum, (which as we all know is really drying) it makes up for that by including beeswax and lanolin as well as aloe vera and vitamins. So I found it to be lovely and soothing, and not drying at all. Yay!

It's now a firm fixture in my bag, and if you'd like it in yours, take a trip to your chemist - you should find it pretty widely available. It also comes in a load of other flavours - banana, lime and strawberry are just three.
