I have a strange love affair for lip balms.
I’ve tried just about every one of ’em available from the most popular brands to lesser known brands. Ever since visiting Massachusetts in 2006, my lips have not been the same. I need to wear a lip balm every day, all day, and even slather it on before going to bed at night. I carry one in my pocket, I have three in my handbag, there are two in my Jeep, and I have one in every room of my home.
Recently, I had issues caused from a lip product I received in a beauty box. I received the Skyn Iceland Berry Lip Fix with Wintered Red Algae in my November ipsy bag. I used it several times daily for about a week before I noticed it was causing a horrible allergic reaction. My lips and areas around my mouth were red and incredibly irritated. My lips were a mess. It was painful and uncomfortable, and just looked horrible. I was embarrassed by the redness and wore extra makeup to cover it up. My usual Chicken Poop wasn’t helping, which was surprising because any lip issue I’ve ever had has been fixed by using my Chicken Poop. I tried Vaseline, which helped the dryness, but the redness wouldn’t go away.
Frustrated and feeling as if I was out of options, a friend recommended O’Keeffe’s Lip Repair Lip Balm. I went to Walgreens the next day and bought two of them.
I opened the lip balm and immediately applied it to my dry, irritated lips. No freekin’ lie, within 15 minutes my lips felt better than they had in MONTHS, even before the lip issue from the reaction to the red algea lip balm. I was amazed. The next day I went to Walmart where they had the balm for $1.00 cheaper, so I picked up two more.
THIS STUFF IS THE BEST. The website claims the lip balm “Creates a flexible barrier” and “Provides instant relief and all day moisture in 1 use”. These claims are absolutely true. I put it on in the morning and wear my lip gloss over it. As a bonus, it works as a barrier keeping my lip gloss out of the wrinkles around my lips.
My lips have not been dry, haven’t cracked or felt uncomfortable or red since using. I use it multiple times a day every day and will continue to use it every day.
Overall, I am incredibly impressed and thankful for this product! I give O’Keeffe’s Lip Repair Lip balm 5 outta 5 Soft Smooches!
Have you tried this product? What lip balms do you use?

I literally made a lip scrub the other day with white sugar, honey and a little bit of vanilla extract, you should try this as well!

I heard about this brand before and I think they do a really popular hand cream? I am the same with my lips. I cannot stand the feeling of them being dry and need lip balm on me 24/7.

They have a couple hand/body creams and a foot cream. OMG if you can find this lip balm in your area, try it. I actually just went out this morning and picked up FIVE more. I don’t like running out. 🙂

Never heard of this brand …. my usual go-to has always been Chapstick, but it has failed miserably in the COLD St. Louis winter (low the other day of -4 WITHOUT wind chill!!). I’m heading to Amazon. Thanks for the great review!

Chapstick brand has never worked for me. Same with Blistex. All they did was just make my lips feel more dry. Chicken Poop is a great balm (all natural), but this stuff is my new favorite. I just went out this morning and picked up FIVE more! I can’t be without it! Thank you for stopping by and for your comment. I hope you snag one and that it works for you, too. Let me know! 🙂
