Chapstick Chapstick

This is a great simple lip balm that I always return too. I just brought a new one yesterday actually! My favourite is strawberry, I also have tried a mint one but have never seen them sold on their own (it was in a tin with 2 other balms) I do hate the original but think its good for men! My partner doesn't want a scented balm so it works for him if he needs one. I find them long lasting and nourishing.

I have used Chapstick for years. I use the plain one as the flavoured ones make me feel funny after wearing them for a while. Chapstick helps keep my lips soft and moisturized and I couldn't live without it now. I always have one on me and I always have a spare just in case!

I used this many years ago but felt I had to keep applying it all the time as my lips didn't feel very moisurized, then eventually they started peeling so didn't think that was right. I stopped using it after a couple days as I felt it was the complete opposite of what it was supposed to do. I later found out it has methylparaben and propylparaben and the strawberry contains a small amount of aluminum so not good for my lips.

I have a stick in my handbag and at work at all times. Keeps my puckers moisturised and feeling good. Have had one with me ever since primary school! :)

I bought this back in the day when I was carefree, in high school and worked at DEKA part time - so the beauty budget didn't extend that far. I chose the strawberry stick - because, yum. The smell was delicious. Unfortunately that's where the love affair ended. I found Chapstick super drying. And it was a vicious cycle ... "my lips are dry, better apply chapstick - hmmmm, what a lovely smell" ... "hmmm, my lips seem really dryer - better get that lovely chapstick out" ... wash and repeat. Now I've not had a lot of luck with moisturising lip products, but I'd have to say this was one of the worst experiences. However I'd still say to a friend 'give it a go', because as it's been around so long I'm pretty sure it's more an issue with my lips rather than the product.

The strawberry chapstick was the fist lip moisturizer I owned. I liked having something with spf after coming back from family vacays with dry, sunburnt lips. Now that I have tried other lip balms and moisturizers I wouldn't go back to using it as it wasn't as effective at moisturizing my lips compared to lip balms and other brands this is more waxy than moisturizing. But it definitely served it's purpose when there wasn't anything else available and I didn't have the funds for some expensive brands. Tastes fine and my boyfriend has a tube sitting somewhere since he likes strawberry chapstick.

These bring back fond memories !!! before becoming a blistex fiend i used to use the stawberry chapstick all throughout high school (some 10 + years ago lol) .. if they stopped making blistex i would definately use this again...one of the originals :) The chapstick's packaging is pretty average but it does the trick nice little handy size to pop into your handbag or even your pocket. Chapstick is quite moisturising its not to sticky or too greasy. Its reasonably hydrating but doesnt last as long as say blistex but you dont have to use it every few minutes either. I adore the smell of the strawberry chapstick, the original doesnt really have much of a smell at all. Really great price you cant complain and you can pick them up just about anywhere. I like to keep a few of these around as I tend to loose them!

I had strawberry flavour. Initially I liked it, lips felt moisturised with a hint of flavour. Then using it all the time, I felt it didn't stay on my lips and I actually ended up getting dry lips.

This is by far my favourite lip balm of all time. It leaves my lips feeling super moisturised and soft, and it helps with my cracked or chapped lips, which I get quite often. I'm always checking out other brands, but this is the one I ALWAYS come back to. I love it, my go-to forever.
