Lip balms. They don't work.
I can't find a good lip balm for my perpetually dry lips. I'm going to list the products I've tried here, with varying degrees of success. I'm just sick of buying things that claim to work, but are just a waste of time. Starting with:
Blistex Lip Conditioner: Comes in a little pot, has a strong caramel/camphor smell, and it's greasy, gets stuck in your nails.
Blistex Lip Ointment: Has a strong medicated smell, needs to be rubbed in, would sting cracked lips.
Blistex Complete Moisture: Probably one of the worst, claims to be super moisturising, but actually dries out lips faster than you could say parched lips. Makes lips itchy, and has an annoying tingling sensation.
Blistex Conditioning Lip Gloss: Suprisingly one of the better ones I've used from this brand. Actually considered buying this again, doesn't dry lips as much as the others, and it does last longer being a slightly bigger tube.
Blistex Silk & Shine: Also a fairly good one. It does feel silkier than the others, actually smoothes lips without irritation.
Blistex Satin Gloss: The smallest tube (only 2.2 g), this is the one I'm trialling now. So far it's not that impressive. I've had to reapply it frequently, and the gloss wasn't as high gloss as it was said to be. 'Wet look' my ....
Chapstick Strawberry Lip Balm: I haven't used this brand in ages. But I can say that it's not too bad. It has a nice smell, but it's not glossy.
Bonne Bell Conditioning Lip Gloss: An oldie, but a goodie. The fact it comes in a lip stick form is even better, and it doesn't need frequent application like some others I've mentioned. I'd actually recommend this.
If anyone has any recommendations on what a good lip balm is, god, wouldn't I like to know. Still, maybe I've got an addiction.

Hi Linh,
WoW Awsome Blog! Shocking surprise? to find your website on this blog! I am quite surprise that you and luis has been hosting this website for some time now. You know how many linhy there are on this blog? probably hundred, took me quite sometime to go through every one's site to find the right linh. What with the prick on the sub heading? Look like u and luis got some sort of weird serious stalker following u around again. Anyway I didn't expect to find your website to be on this blog. Since beginning of this month I've only start recently browsing this site to look download material like TV show & movies eg.(Simpson & Prison Break) to download to watch since I'm usually bore these day. A collegee at work refer me to this website for download materials. Your linhlela hotmail account close I see. u probable got a new email since u are also hosting a myspace blog. It ok, I close all my hotmail account in regard to jonathan long ago too. I'm known by people now as Jay(Registered). I still using hotmail as sort of contact list but not for chatting under a different email. I'm sorry to hear that u and carlos had a fallout in the past but now that doesn't matter cos u dont have to see each other again. How Luis? working or study? I know we had a our difference in the past with jealous, frustration and being misery always but in the end everything was settle and we move on with our life. It had took me a long time to settle down and overcome my inner demon. I alter my personality in the end. I figure that since we are all human being we possess these feeling, emotion to determine our action and needs. So I decided in the end to be not human, no need for emotions,temptation,desire,greed, obsession & possession but just live life like a calm river/lake and I be alright. I admit I have no memories of u or luis, but for some reason both your name ring a familiar bell. Or maybe cos carlos usually talk about u 2 to me. Bitter hatred ate away all my anger, pain and bitter memories in exchange for peace of mind. I no long remmeber what we share in the past but I just feel that we were once special friend that is all I can recall. My memories are not sharp as before. I think time has made me become more forgetful, and unrememberable. I do not mine these change. I'm glad to find u are enjoying your life. By the way Sorry that I did not choose an identity because I'm a private person and I do have my own blog on this website just recently created this month. It a blog to share with people about movies and IT Educational video. (Training video, u can say) I don't want u to go and look for it and say that this guy still sick as ever! A register blog ID can take a user to that blog's homepage. The only tip I left on this comment is my name "Jay" and my email is "private" One last thing. Your humor has not change as much as I can recall but still it bring life to your blog. Sleek & Classy. Funny but meanful. I'm alive and well if you are still wondering. Sorry can't call you by Linhy, it doesn't seem right I stick with Linh. Sound much nicer.
As for a lip balm try something expensive but also classy. I recommend Neutrogena MoistureShine Tinted Lip Balm, why? well go to this site www.neutrogena.com i heard it was very good since it was rated 5 stars its Pros: gorgeous colors, long-lasting moisture, glossy shine, pleasant taste, SPF, convenient size And Cons: A little pricey.
Thankyou for reading this comment. Have a merry life.

Hi ya Linh,
Yep I'm back, decided to drop u another line. I doubt u plan to publish all the things that I wrote the other night on your blog.
I know that u probably have a few questions that u want answer. So considering the fact that things has changes between us, I give u my blog's email but not my blog homepage. (I posted a few photos and video on my blog in relation to my past about u)that why I consider the privacy of not displaying for your viewing. If u are thinking about nudity.....maybe? But in reality it a personal blog just like your own about my life and the people I interact through my life. Plus a list of movies I'm distribution free of charge & IT Educational materials.
In regard to your Lip balms question, I doubt you shouldn't need to be worrying too much about your lip being too dry. I mean I remember u often carry a bottle of water around with u alot. If you drank alot of water, eat alot of orange or drink fresh orange juice everyday your lip won't dry up as much. Another things is don't eat alot of spicy foods since it make your body hot interally and that what make your lip always dry. I'm not a doctor or a lip expert but from experience I should know since I don't used lip balm like u or eric. I know cos my lips has always been dry and I never drink water daily like everyone but mostly beverage so I know the outcome very well..
But if u are still worry u can check out these 2 product I came across Kanebo & Cle de Peau. They might be abit pricy but check out their review before u go ahead and purchase them.
Well time is money and I got alot of laptop to be fix so Im off. Here my email incase u want to inquiry about few anonymous questions. "jtnguyen@inbox.com"
Thankyou for reading my post again.

Hi ya Linh,
Sorry for the burst of questions this weekend. But after today evening match with a couple of mates, I realise it not a good things writing on your blog anymore. Something in the past stir within me. I'm sorry for shocking ya earlier with questions about your life and past. So out of courteous I will no longer post anymore comment on your blog.
It better off letting "let sleeping dogs lie" (is to avoid restarting old conflicts).
Have a merry Life.
Jay G.
