For dry chapped lips, so they don't get that way? I hate this time of year.

Carmex. My little pot says: lip balm pour les levres

www.carma-labs.com

It's American and difficult to find in England
& judi agrees, it's the best you can get...

I also recommend Vaseline. Put that all over your hands and legs and feet.

And chin
chin up!
pucker up

it was only 99cents! I should of just bought it.

I will stop tomorrow morning, I need more sprouts too.

nice shopping experience. I'd scream if I could find it for 99c.

It's £3.99 here and I have to travel half an hour to Kensington to a posh chemist, but it's worth it. Are your lips tingling yet?

I'm at work so I will have to wait til later or tomorrow to get it.

You have something wonderful to look forward to.

use your little finger or your ring finger on your other hand to put it on and don't lend it to anyone.

YES, I agree, carmex is DA BOMB.

They say it's addictive, but I wouldn't know...I've used it every day and night for the last ten or so years.

xxxLinda · « **Reply #9 on:** November 01, 2007, 10:41:05 AM »

it's totally pure, no additives, so the addiction must be something else.

I've used it all my life and am extremely pleased to recommend it and pass on my beauty tips.

It's all you need really...
mini travel size & it lasts most of the winter. it's precious. 99c? waaaaaaaaaa

~flower~ · « **Reply #10 on:** November 01, 2007, 10:44:43 AM »

yup, 99cents. That is why I passed on it, I figured it must not be that good if it's only 99cents.

I will get one for my purse, and one for my nightstand, and one for work, and one for the car, and one for my gym bag..........

five!!!

~flower~ · « **Reply #11 on:** November 02, 2007, 09:48:59 AM »

Good stuff!! I bought the plain pot of it, a cherry one with SPF, and an EZ-on applicator one in tube that would be good for the gym where you don't want to stick your finger in a pot.

~flower~ · « **Reply #12 on:** November 02, 2007, 09:54:41 AM »

oh - the "original" pot one was $1.79 but it is 1/2 oz, and the cherry and the tube were 99cents, cherry is .25oz and the tube is .35oz.

Carmex can also be used in the nostrils to mitigate the stinkiness of someone sittting close to you on an airplane

~flower~ · « **Reply #14 on:** November 02, 2007, 10:18:21 AM »

The cherry would be good for that!!

Throw in a few Mac Lip tints and you've got yourself the most natural lip colours without all the goopiness!

My girls use some stuff made from beeswax.

Carmex (Carma Labs) is a great company too (good to their employees, community, etc.). They were a customer of mine at one time.

The cherry flavor is brand new this year. As convenient as the sticks and tubes are, I'm convinced the original stuff in the little pot works best. There's lots of uses for it besides lips. Check out their website. They also have a weekly free sample giveaway. It's under the "contact us" section. carma-labs.com

I think it's niacin that plumps up the lips.

I am officially addicted.
