Dry lips..oh no!

I suffer really bad from dry lips, by bad i mean REAL bad flakes of skin coming off constantly,chapped,sore!yuuck I know!I even get dry lips in the summer!So I have tried a lot of Lip balms, so I thought I'd give you a run down, of what I think is the best lip balm to some that are ok, and some that are awful!Blistex Relief Cream

Gives a cooling sensation on the lips, I'm not too keen on that although some people may like it. The formulation is a white cream, which does not blend into lips, so your stuck with this white cream on your lips that make you look a bit dead, fine if you only use it at home at night, but a lip balm has to be good on the go!and this one is not!Not sure it makes that much of a difference either.

Vaseline Lip Therapy

This is not something you should use to get rid of dry lips, all this does is create a barrier so that your lips not get dry from the weather, central heating, etc, but it's not a cure once you have dry lips.I've also tried this in the pink one and green, both the same!

Rating:- 1/5

Chapstick

Does soften the lips a tiny bit, but doesn't stay on your lips for longer than ten minutes so you would have to constantly re-apply this to stop chapped lips.

Rating:-3/5

Rose and Co Cherry Kiss

This smells gorgeous and did really help my lips, it lasted quite long, because the formulation is thick!The tin could be a pain sometimes tho, tricky to open. This was good but not the best I've tried.

Rating:-4/5

Carmex Pot and Tube

Good products, it gives you that tingling sensation aswell, not so keen on that! It does soften your lips, but I feel as if I've got to re-apply constantly.

Rating:-4/5

Drum roll please for my number one lip balm.....

Blistex Lip Conditioner

Best lip balm EVER! It had spf 20, so you dont burn your lips! Works instantly, you can feel the relief as soon as it goes on, AND it last for ages on your lips! It's amazing, people you have to go and try this one out!

Beauty Blogging

I've been obsessed with you tube tutorials and beauty blogging for little over a year now, but I've only just decided to venture out to create my own blog.

So a little about me?

My name is Sioned (welsh name for Sinead and Janet), I'm from a little village in North Wales which can be boring but i would never want to move because I know everyone and I like that feeling of community..sad much?

I'm into socializing (how many 19 year old's don't?!) driving my little sherrie, which is the name for my ford fiesta, make up of course, I bore my bf to death talking about make up techniques, colours etc but bless him he is very patient! I love being lazy and spending a whole day in bed. I'm currently working as a shop manager on my gap year and hoping to go to university to do a degree in social work, it's something I've always wanted to do and feel so passionate about helping others.

A weird fact about me....I can't sleep with out socks on, manky you might think but my feet get very cold :(!

I hope to make some new friends on here that I can share my love for beauty products with!

Sionz :) x
