Frudia Blueberry Hydrating Honey Lip Balm
First of all, can we talk about how cute the packaging is? It reminds me of Winnie the Pooh! This is an ultra-moisturizing lip balm formulated with Honey and Blueberry Extracts to hydrate your delicate lips effectively for a long time. It’s so light and creamy and has a sweet blueberry scent. It smells fantastic and delicious! It keeps your lips moisturized for hours and a little goes a long way. This can literally last you for months!

Rohto Mentholatum Water Lip Balm SPF 20 PA++
This is a brand I’m not really familiar with but their lip balms are to die for! It is very lightweight, moisturizing, non-sticky, and transparent. What first caught my attention was the SPF! Your lips get the chance to be protected from all those harmful UV rays and it makes total sense because why should we apply spf all over our face and leave out our lips? If anything, get this because of the SPF in it, you won’t regret it! Oh, it has a delightful scent as well.

innisfree Canola Honey Lip Balm
This is another great lip balm. It smells amazing, lightweight, and very moisturizing. It doesn’t dry out your lips! It’s such a good-quality lip balm.

Romand Glasting Melting Balm
You’ve probably seen this on your TikTok FYP already because it’s currently trending but let me tell you something, it’s worth the hype. This isn’t your regular lip balm. It’s a tinted lip balm that comes in 7 gorgeous colors. Unlike other tinted lip balm, this is super moisturizing and doesn’t leave your lips feeling dry after a while. It’s glossy non-sticky and very buttery. They are highly pigmented so a little goes a long way. It has a very pleasant smell. You have to try it to get what the hype is all about. I currently have a few in my cart already!

CORINGCO Shalala Snow Ball Lip Balm
This is the most beautiful lip balm I’ve ever seen! The glittery sparkles move around which is very entertaining. It’s also a tinted lip balm and comes in 5 beautiful colors but it’s not as pigmented as the Roman Glasting lip balms above. I have heard that is this almost the perfect dupe for the Dior balm which is crazy. It’s very moisturizing, lightweight, and looks good on the lips.

3CE Plumping Lips
This is another tinted lip balm loved by many. This Lip balm enriched with organic oils from baobab seed, avocado, calendula, and coconut provides lips with nourishment, hydration, juicy pigments, and a glossy finish. It also helps plump up lips for a fuller pout although the plumping isn’t much. It will have your lips looking glossy but without the stickiness. This is such an amazing lip balm.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
Although this isn’t precisely a lip balm, I just had to mention it. If you have chapped lips and want to get rid of them so badly, you have to give this lip sleeping mask a try! I absolutely love it and won’t stop recommending it. It also smells soo good and a little goes a long way. This lip balm is a cult favorite and for good reason. It’s Formulated with Berry Mix Complex, which helps to firm lips with a rich mix of Vitamin C and antioxidants. It Helps to dissolve dead skin cells while you sleep, making your lips appear smoother and plumper in the morning. The Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask can be used overnight or as a regular lip balm during the day. It comes in a mini sample size as well as the normal size. Although the mini 3g size could last you for up to a month depending on how much you use daily ,I will always recommend you get the regular size because trust me, you won’t regret it!!

Lip Care Tips
While applying lip balm helps a lot, here are a few things you can do to make the lip balm even more effective:
- Drink plenty of water – Staying hydrated is one of the easiest ways to keep your lips soft and supple.
- Exfoliate regularly – Use a gentle lip scrub to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover.
- Avoid licking your lips – Saliva can actually cause your lips to dry out, so try to avoid licking them.
- Protect your lips from the sun – Use a lip balm with SPF to protect your lips from harmful UV rays.
