Best of '14: Lip Balm - Smith's Rosebud Salve

Hi I'm FY and I'm a lip balm addict.

I've tried a lot of lip balm and I am still trying and will be trying more. This year though, I pretty much been using Smith's Rose nightly. To be perfectly honest, I prefer Shill's Rosebud Balm. I think the texture is much nice and it is just more effective. But as this "choice" is for the year 2014, it deserves to go to one that I'd used the most. I enjoyed using them both but ya you know.

A lot of people swear by this, and I can see why. Texture is like petroleum jelly, but I guess it is actually helpful in the long run. As I heard petroleum jelly only help to cure dryness for the moment but will get worse later on.

This one is nice on the lips. I like that it can be applied on dry hands too. I also like that I still can feel a bit of balm left when I wake up. It does leave your lips feel smooth, it does help chapped lips. But I feel that if your lips are very cracked, very flakey, it doesn't help as much. It's just that you can peel it off easier and thus leaving it "new". So yes, a good lip balm but not my absolute number 1.
But if you are not choosy like me, I do recommend it. As when I did recommend it to a friend, she loves it as she said it is not as glossy.


Honorable mention: Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment (the price though, I'm not a fan)

Shampoo, tried and tested

Klorane seboregulating treatment shampoo with nettle extract for oily prone hair. I went to the USA and UK website, but they do not have this version. Anyway this shampoo is good. I like it, smells good too. No fancy scent but it was not bad. Pretty hard to lather it up. In the end I tend to pour more than needed. If you want to wash your hair less frequently, there is a more practical and rapid solution: KLORANE Dry seboregulating shampoo with nettle extract. If you have an oily scalp and dry ends, you can use KLORANE Seboregulating treatment shampoo with nettle extract.

Givenchy Le Rose Perfecto Lip Balm

This is in the shade 201, creamy and a hint of light milky pink. I like that it is pretty, but the shade doesn't really suit me. What I like best is that they can engrave your name on the packaging. So it is pretty.
