I am addicted to lip balms, I have dozens.
If I see one, I can not help I must buy it.
I keep in each of my bags in my bathroom, in my makeup studio in my makeup kit, ..
The lip balm is a multi-purpose product that does not just pamper your lips.
Thanks to its formulation, it preserves them from drying, cracking especially in cold weather. But for some, it can also be applied to dry areas of the body and face, sunburn, redness, cuticles.
For the makeup artist that I am, I use it as a base for lipstick to make it softer and more transparent, add super shine to a gloss, but also to trim and polish the eyebrows, bring glow into the face, bring shine on the eye lid ....
Attention must be diligent in applying multi everyday if you want a real efficiency.
Here is my top selection :
? The most chic, Baume de Rose By Terry . I love it, its silky texture plumps the lips and leaves a creamy lacquer with a delicate scent of rose. I adore it, I dare say my favorites.
full of active ingredients: soothing, anti-aging (essential wax of rose flowers), healing, soothing (shea butter), plumping and softening (ceramides biotechnology), antioxidant (vitamin E), also contains an SPF 15.
It can be used in emergency care, contour of the nail or ointment at night.
The downside: the prices are.

The most mat, Dermophil indien anti-âge, I do not know yet if it reduces wrinkles as the packaging promises, however it moisturizes very well with a matte finish rather rare for a balm, plus it smells good on Dermophil Indien !
Ideal for men and especially appreciated by the makeup, to moisturize without shine.

Supermarket, Monoprix.about 5 €.? The trendyest, Mojito lip balm Malin + Goetz, baught it from my last trip in NYC. M + G is the little skincare brand from New York that I like. I have recently talked about their déodorant à l'eucalyptus which I find amazing. This balm is based on essential fatty acids that provide hydration and continuous protection throughout the day.

Brutally attacked by a big flu on December 24, out of stock of tissue paper on December 25, I then used the paper towel roll.

Hey ! me revoilou ! surbookée au taf, plus le temps de faire mes petites virées du midi “Make my B”. Donc ce soir, alors que je suis claquée je viens vous saluer…
Perso, je suis moi même Zinzin des baumes…
Ho ! je reconnais mon présent de Noel “Le plus backstage”, merci petit Papa Noel. Génial le matin, avant de partir au boulot.
Je suis fan de Carmex que je commande sur internet. Depuis un bail, impossible de le trouver à ANNECY. Parfait le soir après le démaquillage…
puis un stick Neutrogena dans mon tiroir de bureau en dépannage.
Dans mon sac, le stick gout coca (offert par ma fille)…
Bibi parlait plus haut du Blistex, je l’achetais à Meribel à la supérette… Souvenirs, souvenirs 😉
