I've tried all the high-end products and this works the best. Lip Fusion is very tacky and doesn't really work either. Lip Venom stings and is just nasty. City Lips is a tad expensive per tube ($29) but well worth it. Within minutes of putting it on I notice a difference in the moisture and the overall appearance. It is not tacky and feels great, no nasty smell either. Over time, the results just get better. One question though for those who have used this for a while...why did they switch from a pad applicator to a brush? The brush is much messier and less useful during application.

If you use cinnamon oil, heavily dilute it. It will burn in the baaaaaad, baaaaaad way.

I love lip venom. The consistency works for me. I'm not buying it anymore, though. I've decided the only thing that I will spend $18 per on at Sephora is L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil.

And here I complain when I spend almost $4 on shower soap.

You want the rest of mine? You could just wash the brush. Hardly used.

by the way peops - regular antiaging shiny (but not too shiny) balm - DHC lanolin stick. ($7) + shipping.

Ebay is a nice place to get L'Occitane products. I buy their candles, incense, magic eye balm, etc. I love their stuff!

And you just reminded me that Walgreen's is having a sale right now on a Burt's Bees travel sized kit - several products for $12. Rachel Perry lip balms are awesome too.

did you catch all of the L'Occitane products on QVC's day of beauty yesterday?

I really want some La Mer products.

I don't watch QVC. But I have yet to meet a L'Occitane product I didn't like. For years, I've been addicted to the hand cream and body lotion (which is so pricey, I only use it occasionally, like right after I've shaved my legs). I haven't tried their hair products yet...the person I bought the eye balm from sent me a sample of the scrub/mask. It's very nice!

I got some La Mer samples on ebay cuz I wanted to try it - too greasy for me, so I used the face cream as a nighttime eye cream instead.

ooo, I'm on it. I have lip venom, but it's too gluey/sticky/motoroilonmylips.

side note: My lips have plumped since I stopped smoking.

I've turned into a lip balm ho - and my lips aren't even chapped very much. I have to put the sunscreen one on daily or I freak out. Plus the lanolin one for smooth lipstickage.

Anyway, thanks for the tip, I wrote it down. Do you know that cinnamon oil works, too? Bit stingy.

Me, too. But only for Burt's Bees Beeswax. It's like crack.

Oh, word. Have you seen the new honey one? It's so awesome.

When people don't believe me that my addiction to Burt's Bees is hardcore, I prove it to them by showing them that I actually care two tubes just on my person at all times- one in each pocket so I don't have to take the time to find it. I keep one in the car, one in my desk at work, one perpetually sitting on the keyboard at my desk, one in the bathroom, one on my nightstand, one on the coffee table.

Have I just shown my psychosis??

And Sara- I know, $18 for shower oil is a sickness. Overly expensive bath products are something I won't give up. It's sick.

I've seen it, but never tried it.

That's hardcore. And genius. I only buy one or two tubes at the time and I'm ALWAYS losing them.

The honey is really good! Different, but really good!

One of the reasons I took my part-time job at Borders was that I knew I'd have that 33% discount on the Burt's. Can I gush about my boyfriend more? Apparently when I want lip balm and can't easily access it I get a really specific pout. He started carrying a tube in his jacket and whips it out for me when he sees that face.

*** I do the same thing with chapstick. One by my bed, one in my purse and one at work which I carry in my pocket while working and then just put on my desk when I leave. I hate things in my pocket ( constant fear it will fall out) so I never forget to take it out..
