After writing a post yesterday about Pearl Drops Hollywood Smile I noticed in some of the pictures I took just how chapped my lips were. This inspired me to look through my beauty collection and hunt down a chapped lip rescue team!
Vaseline Lip Therapy Chapstick with Cocoa Butter
This super nourishing stick is great for banishing chapped lips. Containing Cocoa butter and Shea butter means it helps soften lips from first application. I don't have to apply much to my lips for the Vaseline to do it's job. It feels quite thin on my lips and feels really rich. The chapstick smells amazing which I put down to the cocoa butter. This chapstick is great as it means you don't have to delve into a tin with your finger to apply. The stick itself is white so can make your lips look a little pale and it doesn't taste very nice as it leaves a weird after taste in my throat.

Vaseline Lip Therapy Original Tin
This old school Vasaline tin is the original super hero when it comes to solving pesky dry lips. If you have never tried it, then where have you been?! I tend to use this Vasaline product more in the evening and wear it to bed as I always manage to get it all around my face. It doesn't really have a scent and doesn't leave a awful after taste in the back of my throat which is why I like it so much. It applies to my lips really easily and I don't have to use much to cover my lips.
Nivea Soft Rose Lip Balm
This lip balm is my favourite of the four to wear out. The pink balm gives my lips a hint of rose pink and helps keep them nourished and smooth. It smells a little bit like play dough but that doesn't bother me. The packaging is really pretty which is another reason why I like it so much. I wouldn't say this is the balm to grab for when your lips are really chapped as the colour can stick to the chapped parts of your lips leaving them looking a bit patchy but this lip balm is great to help maintain soft lips.
Body Shop Born Lippy in Watermelon
This is the nicest smelling lip balm of the four. It smells just like watermelon and it definitely smells good enough to eat. Sadly, I wouldn't recommend eating it because as soon as I apply it my lips, I get that horrible after taste in the back of my throat. It's definitely the worst tasting. The packaging of this balm is really cute and I love it's name as it gives it a bit of attitude. It isn't the easiest to apply because the pot is quite small which means I get it all up my nail which I hate. It's quite hard as well so you have to apply more than usual to cover your lips. This isn't the best balm for getting rid of chapped lips but like the Nivea Soft Balm it helps maintain soft lips.
Have any of you used lip scrubs? I'd love to read a review on them so link your post below :)
