Chapped lips.

The past few days I have been sick, sick, sick! I can't breath through my nose, and it has been really hard on my poor lips.  They became chapped pretty quickly and I had a bit of trouble finding a balm or chapstick that worked.

I started out with Softlips, applying it regularly.  However, I felt that it absorbed rather quickly and then left my lips feeling tight.  Next up, Burts Bees in the Replenishing variety.  Normally I LOVE this chapstick, but in this instance it was not nearly tough enough to do the job. The same goes for Baby Lips.

I had given up hope. I was in the pit of despair. My lips were doomed to eternity of hopeless crustiness.

THEN, my mom suggested Carmex.  *Angels singing*

This little sucker is the bomb dot com. All that jazz. The greatest thing since sliced bread. All that and a bag of chips.

I'm tellin' ya.

It made my lips feel soft in a short amount of time and even after it wore off they did not go back to their cracked state instantly.  This stuff is a life saver! With this being cold/sickness season, I felt that I had to share!

If you're under the weather, I hope you feel better soon! And if you're not, TAKE SOME EMERGEN-C!!!!

**let me be clear I love all of the lip treatments in this post, however under extreme circumstances I found Carmex to be best.
