They flake. They peel. They crack. They damage. As well as, they might become as kissable as sandpaper. No one likes chapped lips; no matter how chilly, dry, or windy the weather is or  you've got some bad luck in your genes that can positively dry out and roughen up that tender and delicate part of your face. Therefore, making use of a good lip balm frequently is one of the best ways to hold lips moist and stop them from getting chapped. Lip balms work the same manner as lip-glosses do, although, the former is more of a therapy and the latter is more on its beauty function. Have a look at the following factors that you need to consider while deciding the lip balm that is perfect for you: 1. What Are Lip Balms made of?

Now, here is the song created with the same "kisses" that celebrates the kisses of more than 6000 Babylicious girls - 'Baby Lips Kiss Song'.

This was another product that I received in my January's blisscovered box. However, instead of deluxe samples and travel sizes as I got of other products, this one came in full size. So, yeayeeee for that! :) Now coming to the review, I've been using it daily almost 3-4 times a day since past 2-3 weeks now. Check out the details below: My experience with this lip balm The moment I saw this lip balm I loved the cute round packaging of it, and you simply needs to twist the cap around and pull it up to see the product. The product looked like a thick " ghee " to me. In fact, when I rubbed my fingers on it, it did give a slight film on my fingers too. Alarmed, I smelled the product and thankfully it doesn't smell like ghee there. It is a transparent lip balm hence you can apply it beneath lipstick of any shade without altering its color. It smells faintly of mint, and the smell isn't very prominent. In fact, during the initial few days of ...
