\n <\/p>\n

\n Smooth lips are something we all strive for, right? Maybe just me? Well anyway, over the last few weeks, I\u2019ve been testing out a lot of lip balms for \u201cresearch purposes\u201d. And yes, I love using my blog for these types of purchases, because they\u2019re obviously V. IMPORTANT. It\u2019s our lips we\u2019re talking about people!!! Not only are chapped lips annoying, but I\u2019m also super prone to cold sores. If my lips are chapped for more than a couple of hours, I know I\u2019m going to get a cold sore. Let\u2019s keep going so we can see which lip balm is my favorite. (

\n Do I even have a favorite?!

\n I didn\u2019t think I was going to love

\n

\n this lip balm
\n <\/span>
\n <\/a>
\n <\/strong>
\n <\/em>
\n if we\u2019re being honest. When I originally went to Sephora to buy it, it was sold out at the location, so I knew it must be at least DECENT. I didn\u2019t actually know too much about the balm, so when I did some online research, I was a little skeptical of it because it was pigmented \u2013 I was really just looking for something to make my lips nice \u2018n smooth. The Vanilla wasn\u2019t available, so I went with the next best option \u2013 Vanilla Beige. Definitely a glossy finish, but I do like that it doesn\u2019t appear as a color on my lips. While I like

\n (I do love the applicator though),I find myself grabbing other lip balms.\n <\/p>\n

\n Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment
\n <\/strong>
\n <\/h3>\n

\n I remember when Rhode Beauty first came out and everyone went nutty. I had heard good things about
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n the peptide lip treatment
\n <\/em>
\n <\/a>
\n <\/strong>
\n <\/span>
\n , so I kept an eye on it to order when it was back in stock. The only flavor that was available at the time was the Watermelon Slice. When I tell you IT SMELLS AND TASTES EXACTLY like a watermelon, I mean it. At first, I thought it was a bit too sticky, but now I\u2019m thinking it\u2019s because my lips were just dry and icky. Now

\n
\n
\n I find myself reaching for it
\n <\/a>

\n <\/span>
\n \u2013 mainly because I keep this by my nightstand. It definitely has a high gloss finish, so keep that in mind.\n <\/p>\n

\n <\/a>
\n <\/strong>

\n <\/span>
\n , I wanted to see what other brands had to offer. I had picked this up during a random trip to Sephora. I loved the packaging, and for whatever odd reason, I was into the larger swivel stick (
\n
\n spoiler alert: look at the next lip balm
\n <\/em>
\n ). This balm is definitely more of a traditional balm. No noticeable sheen on your lips, so that was a plus for me. And it DEFINITELY keeps your lips hydrated. I usually keep it on my entry table so I can throw it into whatever bag I\u2019m using for the day.\n <\/p>\n

\n Palmer\u2019s Cocoa Butter Formula Lip Balm
\n <\/strong>
\n <\/h3>\n

\n I think I was watching
\n
\n Summer House
\n <\/em>
\n and saw someone using
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n the Palmer\u2019s Cocoa Butter lip balm
\n <\/a>
\n <\/strong>
\n <\/em>
\n <\/span>
\n . I\u2019m 99.9% sure I immediately ordered a 3-pack from
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n Amazon
\n <\/a>
\n <\/strong>
\n <\/em>
\n <\/span>
\n . This brought me back to my younger days. I\u2019ve always loved Palmer products \u2013 I\u2019m not sure why. Maybe my mom kept the cocoa butter in our bathroom? But I for sure remember using their lip balm as well. Although they look like a straight up glue stick, the delicious smelling cocoa butter product feels like a velvety kiss on my lips. AND I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. I\u2019m giving it a 4\/5 because I do feel like I need to reapply constantly \u2013 but I think that\u2019s because I just love the smell so much.\n <\/p>\n

\n Laneige Lip Glowy Balm

\n <\/h3>\n

\n When I saw the Summer Friday balm was sold out, I looked for a brand alternative and spotted this one from Laneige.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n I\u2019ve raved about some other products by Laneige
\n <\/a>
\n <\/strong>

\n
\n
\n This lip balm

\n <\/strong>

\n was another one I heard great things about. But again, I was skeptical about the pigmented options. I picked what I thought would tint my lips the least \u2014
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n the peach flavor
\n <\/a>
\n <\/strong>
\n <\/em>
\n <\/span>
\n . (As I did more research, I realized I probably would have been okay with any of the options.) I keep this one in my bag for the office. I will say I don\u2019t feel like it lasts very long, so I do need to keep it around in order to continue to apply.\n <\/p>\n

\n Wow. Just wow. That\u2019s really all I can say. My friend,
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n Ailsa

\n
\n
\n
\n Fenty Plush Puddin\u2019 balm
\n <\/a>
\n <\/strong>
\n <\/em>
\n <\/span>
\n . It was sold out when I originally went to purchase it, but man am I happy I snagged this. So if you\u2019re reading this and it\u2019s still sold out \u2013 keep an eye on it (
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n Fenty\u2019s website has re-stock notifications
\n <\/a>
\n <\/strong>
\n <\/em>
\n <\/span>
\n ). My first impression was \u201ceh I don\u2019t love the applicator\u201d, but once I put it on, I was sold. I still don\u2019t LOVE the small hole and the large tube, BUT it\u2019s a small peeve because this stuff is good. Really good. I will say it is THICCCCCCCCCCCK. So a little goes a long way. A really long way. This is strictly my night time lip balm: I keep it on my nightstand, apply as needed before bed, and in the morning I STILL wake up with product on my lips.\n <\/p>\n
