This post has finally arrived: the winner of my search for the best lip balm. If you have been following ze blog for a while, you would know that I have been looking for the miracle lip product that will cure my dry and flaky lips once and for all. I thought I had found it when I came across the First Aid Beauty lip balm (see the review here), but sadly, it didn’t cure my lips long term. It only helped in the moment. What I really needed was a lip balm that I could put on in the evening and it would completely regenerate my lips overnight. However, any so-called‘overnight lip masks’ vanished from my lips when I slept and I would wake up with completely dry lips again.
When I started hearing about Chanel’s Hydra Beauty Nutrition Nourishing Lip Care, I thought this might be the answer to all my prayers. And I am so thankful to say I was right. Although pricey (who would spend $50 on a lip balm? Me apparently, thank goodness for that Shoppers discount), this lip balm is truly the only thing that saves my lips. This is a very restorative balm. It contains Camellia oil that softens and smooths lips. I apply a thick layer at night that immediately starts to melts into my lips but doesn’t completely disappear when I wake up the next morning. the texture is also so smooth and not stick at all, which I absolutely love.And to prove that I really do love this lip balm? I just bought my second jar yesterday. That really says something.
