chap stick

[carrie721]

all the chapstick users in the house say HEY!!!!

what kind do you use?

right now i'm using softlips (wtf?) raspberry flavored, with spf 20. it works all right. i certainly don't get the same tingly "it's working" feeling from it that i get from, say, that blue tub kind. you know, the kind with the red cross on it. i used to have burt's bees, but i can't find it. i liked that a lot, but i needed to get some and target didn't have BB.

[BlackWidow]

you are out of your mind tonite.

Is that what that is? ;)

I use vaseline, bytch. Cheap and effective. Just like me.

[amber]

Hayley? Is that you?

hehehe.

I really love this one that DHC makes, it has the perfect texture, and all the right oils. I use several, though, I'm a lip gloss/chapstick monster. I have one that has sunscreen (Kiss My Face Cranberry Orange) and a couple ones that are perfectly fine sparkly, while also being glossy, and some random ones.
I kind of have a fetish, I buy way too many...

[HomerMcvie]

I'm using something like the Raspberry, but I think it's called Crazeberry Chapstick. I never need it May-October. November-April, it's a must have.

[foxyluva]

I never used to have to use it, but after going on accutane I have had to use it ever since. I hate it :mad:

[foxyluva]

What is accutane??

Its a medicine people who have serious acne go on - its not nice...

[JazmenFlowers]

Carrie, child, how much do I love thee? these threads rawk.

I am a chapstick/lip plumper whore. I swear if you looked in my bag you'd think Sephora threw up in it. right now I have, Bath and Body Works Vanilla Sugar chapstick, Lip Fusion XL, regular cherry chapstick, a tinted Burt's Bees chapstick and a tube of regular Vaseline chapstick.

[BlackWidow]

aw..that sucks...Retin A is good too for that!!

Oh please :p my skin is not that great. 100% better than what it was, but it still is a work-in-progress...

I love to put Bag Balm on my lips. It's originally used to treat cow's udders that are chapped but it works great on me too and is sold in drugstores.

On your lips? I would think the powerful smell would freak you out a little. No doubt it would wonders if you could tolerate it! I use on my hands, knuckles, and heels... the stuff rocks!

[catinthedark]

i am all about labello regular. love the smell, love the silky smoothness. i am truly addicted to it. my friend makes fun of me because i have a tube of labello and a travel size hand cream in every location of my life. bedroom, bathrooms, car, work, purse.

bag balm - know what it is actually for? cows' udders.

bag. balm. ew.

[catinthedark]

I never used to have to use it, but after going on accutane I have had to use it ever since. I hate it :mad:

not to hijack this thread but... have you tried any of the topical acne treatments? they're far less harsh than accutane. i had a horrible outbreak of cystic acne (yeah sorry - major barf factor), and my doctor said i'd probably have to go on accutane. but i resisted, and she gave me two prescription topical treatments - and they are AMAZING. i use erysol in the morning, and clindoxyl at night. my skin has literally never been so good.

[GardenStateGirlie]

:o wow...thank you :xoxo:

[GardenStateGirlie]

CHAPSTICK IS SERIOUS BUSINESS, YO!

[carrie721]

CHAPSTICK IS SERIOUS BUSINESS, YO!

it is. i just used mine. now my lips are deliciously luscious and supple.

[amber]

i know so many people that use it like crazy because it works. still, i can't get over its actual use so i've not tried.

No, no, yeah, I hear the same great things. But haven't tried it, either. My parents have some sort of "Tail and Mane" shampoo that is supposed to be similarly good. For hair, of course. :shrug:

Howevaaaahhhh....while I would try it, and appreciate it, I submit that other chapsticks have similar beneficial powers.

But sesly, this one that I like is perfectly textured. Smooth, but not gummy. Providing essential oils, but not too oily. Shiny, but not ridiculous. It's like the perfect every occasion lip thing.
Here is the blurb, then the picture. Right now it is two for $11, or one for $7. I swear this stuff is the best textured I've ever felt on my lips. And I've tried many a lip product. Swear, you will feel like your lips are in smoothy lip heaven. No lie. It's like the pie and ice cream of lips.
Downside is I wish it had sunscreen, but I just put my SS on top of it.

Lip service. Free radical neutralizers in olive oil and vitamin E defend against feather line creators and collagen deflators. Lips receive long-lasting moisture, look less rough, and feel undeniably more luscious.

[Wild_Heart03]

let the record show you said this, not me. :nod: :laugh:

I use boring cherry Chap Stick. I had some glittery stuff a while back but that was too gay, even for me.

[ryan8472]

I live by my chap stick. I use the Lip Medex stuff from Blistex that comes in a tiny blue jar. It smells faintly like Vicks Vapo-Rub, and I would die without it. :D

[JazmenFlowers]

:lol:

anyone ever notice that if you let your lips get too dry and then you go to put chapstick on, you get this weird pasty stuff on your lips? I hate that...and is why I constantly re-apply every hour or so. plus, I lick my lips a lot so that's an added problem.

[BTFLCHLD]

I do not use chapwax. Right now I like Bath & Body Works conditioning lip shine in sheer pink lemonade.

[rbs3676]

Although I am usually ALL things Kiehl's, I prefer Burts Bee's Beeswax Lip Balm. I've found that nothing works as well as that product.

rbs

[camchristo]

On a daily basis, just classic Chapstick. I like the smell for some reason. However, I do have a host of other lip treatments in my purse. I have about 4 Jessica Simpson lip plumping glosses, a set of 6 varying shades of Sephora lip gloss and some Lip Venom. Oh, and I just put on my Burt's Bee's lip balm that I haven't used in forever and this shiznit is burning my lips. Damn! The texture is better than what I remember though.

By the way, while perusing this thread, Jazzy's picture of himself in the "what do you look like" thread keeps popping into my head. You know, the one with the moist lips.

LOVE Sephora..

[DrummerDeanna]

I have tried to use chapstick...but it always makes the back of my throat feel awful...

Am I licking my lips too much with it on?

Does anyone else have this issue? Like the taste really really bothers me - and then it makes the inside of my mouth taste/feel really icky.

I've tried several brands and types, this always happens. Yet, it doesn't happen when I use lipstick/gloss....

What's the deal?

[carrie721]

^^^ i have that problem. it doesn't happen when i use the blue jar kind, or burt's bees. have you tried those? softlips is really bad that way. anything with a flavor = yucky feeling in mouth.

[DrummerDeanna]

^^^ i have that problem. it doesn't happen when i use the blue jar kind, or burt's bees. have you tried those? softlips is really bad that way. anything with a flavor = yucky feeling in mouth.

Yeah, Softlips is awful for that. I have tried Burt's Bees..same thing. Maybe I need to try a different variety of it? I don't know.

What I DO know is I'm glad I'm not the only one with this issue :p

well, dee, it's a very important issue that i'm sure has plagued thousands - nay, millions - across the land. i'm glad the ledge could bring us together to offer each other support and advice.

The blue jar kind. I don't know what that is.

And yes, I feel so light and free now that my chapstick problem has been brought to light. I've lived with this burden far too long. :D

Oh...right..I have seen that...and have never tried it! I may pick some up...for days when I don't wear makeup...but most days I just do lip gloss or lipstick and am fine...

Though that doesn't discount the pain and hardship I've encountered not being able to wear chapstick. Maybe I should sue.

supre hempz lips.

it didn't just change my lips. it changed my life. :o (hempz bodywash and lotion are perfect, as well. this stuff just feels clean and smells goooood.)

i used to use softlips too.. but now, it's just my emergency backup.

[Sarah]

Also.. for you carmex, blue jar, and blue can types (lol..).. i'd recommend Rosebud Salve if you haven't tried it.

I haven't seen any in stores, but it's been around forever. It's available online, I'm sure. Smith's Rosebud Salve.

I like all chapstick, really. But some are just so much better than the others.

other than that, vaseline makes a nice little tin with aloe vera that i like very much. you can't buy them in the states tho, which is annoying.

[michelle2677]

o.k. let me just say, as much as I made out to like gum, I equally like chap stick.

but as covered in the this or that thread, carmex is for chapped lips, "chap stick" is for prevention.

we give away chap stick at my office with our logo on it, so I have an unlimited supply. basically. I have a tube in my purse, car, nightstand, and one I keep in my jacket at work. I get pissy when i don't have my chapstick :mad:

[carrie721]

OMG are they for real???????

It doesn't take a genius to see what The Body Shop is selling in this press release-- sex! They're pretty blatant too, using terms like "gone down" and using colorful ways to describe kisses: smooches, lip smacking, and puckered. And what categories did they choose for their movie list? Longest, Wettest, and Most in One Movie? Longest and Wettest are pretty blatant sexual metaphors. They're going for an orgy or threesome with their Most in One Movie, apparently. In these days of safer sex, do we really need to encourage kids (or even adults) to partake in this kind of activity?

And, what is the deal with "if you're old enough to be kissing (ha! ha!)"? Are they encouraging toddlers and children to start using lip balms and kissing? That sentence is just plain weird!

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[michelle2677]

^^^^ lmfao

my favorite part is self evaluation:



Do you ever use more lip balm than you planned?
Has the use of lip balm interfered with your job?
Is your lip balm use causing conflict with your spouse or family?
Do you feel depressed, guilty, or remorseful after you use lip balm?
Do you use whatever lip balm you have almost continuously until the supply is exhausted?
Do you ever wish that you had never taken that first application or hit of lip balm?
Do you have an obsession to get lip balm when you don't have it?
Are you experiencing financial difficulties due to your lip balm use?
Do you experience an anticipation high just knowing you are about to use lip balm?

I know LOL it's cracking me up!!

and under industry, if you go to "carmex" :

This stuff is probably the strongest lip balm around... with a rush that rivals crack cocaine when you first apply it.

[DeadliestPoison]

is it bad that I was reading the questions and kept seeing my Burt's out of the corner of my eye? and they really made me want to apply some?

Chapstick is basically the only constant thing in my beauty routine, besides black mascara. I always use it as a primer for my lipstick, especially if I'm wearing Ruby Woo from MAC, which is an incredibly matte red lipstick. I also used to use chapstick as an eyeshadow primer - I just swept the tube over my lids and put the shadow over it. Of course, I've moved onto MAC's paintpots and Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion, but it still works in a pinch. It also works wonders when coloring hair - just run it along the hairline.

My standbys are still Burt's Bees in the tube, strawberry Chapstick, and that squeeze on Blistex stuff. Love. it.

I have given up Carmex, Chapstick original black, and Rosebud Salve... not for any "bad" reason... I'm just cutting down on the amount of crap I have with me all the time.

[michelle2677]

^^yeah i've got that stuff in mint and lemon.


really? where do you get that? i'm from texas.. and hopefully they have that here. thanks:laugh:

it's a chapstick/lip balm that my office USED to give away. patterson is a dental supply company and they make this stuff that is to die for. well, not nautural, which translates to "roo poo" but the vanilla is good. I've also heard they have coconut that is good as well.

wow i did not know you were from kentucky. someone sent me some roo poo from kentucky and that is what i use as lip balm.

who would send you this? I do not believe it at all.

i can't believe you're still using the same roo poo. didn't i give you some vanilla? :lol:

[petep9000]

I dunno- I've always got dry lips but I haven't tried anything yet that didn't somehow bother my stomach. I mean, I don't bite off chunks or the chapstick and swallow it or anything. Yet somehow, the stuff must get into my saliva stream and into my stomach and then I feel yucky.
Believe it or not, I sometimes use Bert's Bee's hand salve...on my lips! Just a dab. I have a teeny tiny little tin of it that someone gave me and I was using it on my cracked knuckles and cuticles last winter. One cold day I said "oh why not" and slathered a teensy bit on my lips. It does the trick.

Oh and in the morning when I get out of the shower I use Nivea on my face because my skin gets really dry, and while I'm slathering it on my cheeks and forehead I also mush it over my lips.

I'm so nice and soft in the morning, with kissable soft lips. Small wonder why my colleagues of all sexes aren't lining up outside my cubie for a little kiss. NOT.

[xdreamsunwindx]

So, uh, would any of you be so kind to explain what the HELL roo poo is? I'm sitting here with my mouth wide open, terrified to find out what the answer may be :laugh:

[carrie721]
