Tried And Tested: The Lip Balms That Actually Work

In a committed relationship with my lip balm.

Cold weather is seemingly here to stay, but not to worry because we have a lip balm for each kind of beauty buyer.

The pressure of maintaining a perfect, pillowy soft and luscious pout is at an all-time high and often the subject of a first glance, therefore the weather’s meddling tricks will not be tolerated. 

Below we have listed a full-proof lip balm guide for all budgets featuring our favourite pocket saviours to help welcome and manage the temperature drop without sacrificing your lips as collateral damage - sorry chapped lips, you can’t sit with us.  

The Cult Classic

Dreamy millennial brand Glossier launched its star product with the brand in 2014. Through genius social media marketing Glossier has developed an impressive cult following and their natural emollient and antioxidant-packed balm available in a variety of delicious shades has been the name on everyone’s lips - do you see what I did there?

The Boujee Buy

Bespoke, couture beauty brand and an influencer favourite BY TERRY is ideal for a luxury treat. The rose balm helps protect against UV light and boots cell renewal. With Rose Flower Essential Wax and Shea Butter, your lips feel soft, nourished and a little bit spoiled.
