My lips' secret

I have been battling for more than a decade (a bit exaggerated lol) on my dry chapped lips. Especially when I was in High school wherein we were in the country with extreme weather. Yes, we were in Saudi Arabia before with my Mama and Papa then I just went home for college, but that's another story. The weather in Saudi Arabia consist of summer and winter and when I say extreme that means when it's summer it's really hot, you can probably leave an egg outside then after like 20minutes it will be hard boiled egg already. haha Well, I guess the hottest temperature that I experienced there was like 40 Celsius degree but of course we don't stay outside so we don't feel that. After 6 months of summer, winter will enter and it's also extreme wherein I wear 4 garments all at the same time, thick garments huh haha! Oh I miss Saudi. Anyway I am not here to talk about that! So on to my lips, considering the changing of weather in Saudi Arabia before it affected my skin and my lips as well they were really dry.The condition of my lips didn't change even when I was here but my skin did it became really oily. As I've said I had dry chapped lips since like forever so I always look for lip balms that will solve this problem. I have tried bunch of them, both expensive and not, some are okay but did not last that long, I mean they don't satisfy me. They will work for a while and then after sometime it will stop. When I got into the beauty blogosphere I have read a lot of raves on the Carmex lip balm.

I got the Carmex Lip Balm in tube

I bought this hoping that it will answer my prayers, hehe. Yes this product is okay, it moisturizes my lips and I love the minty effect of it plus the very affordable price but I need to reapply it every 10 minutes because the good effect doesn't stay long. Nevertheless I still use it so that I won't waste my 99 bucks. Then one time when I was in my 'suking' parlor I saw their display of Human Heart Nature Products and these were not new to me since I have read great reviews of them. So I got their feminine wash and Human Nature Lip Balm in watermelon.

 I got the watermelon

When I used it I fell inlove with them right away, it tastes yummy and wow my lips were super moisturized and noticed that they are not dry and chapped anymore. Yipee! I observed on how long will this result last on my lips and guess what they are still moisturized after 3 hours working in the office. When I use this, I swipe it on my lips for like 10 times hehe I think that does the trick but then I wanted my lips to look glossy and healthy at the same time because with this my lips look pale it is great if I put lipstick on but I am not used into putting lipstick when at the office or at home, so I use the HHN lip balm then topped it with Carmex and in my surprise they jived well into my lips, it gave the most moisturized lips and healthy looking as well, not the pale dry chapped lips anymore. I used these two then I just put what ever lipstick or lip gloss that I prefer and it doesn't dry my lips. Now I can say that my lips have found its soulmates hehe.

Mahalo :)
