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)

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. 

Yves Rocher Organic Vanilla

Christmas set right here. Love the scent. It's like a perfume vanilla. Not like vanilla extract but still quite good. I don't know, there is just something about it that makes me like it. So this set comes with 3 item. The shower puff, gel and lotion.  Silky Lotion is quite a watery lotion. I so used to squeeze bottle from TBS that this feels weird. The plastic is harder, so can't really clamp between my fingers. But the lotion flow out nicely. It's liquid-like and easy to apply. Sometime it feels like pour out to much. I guess also cause the opening is quite big. Blends into the skin and absorb quickly. Doesn't makes the skin feels sticky. Really good. Really love. Shower Gel is also very watery. It's like a thick syrup. But easy to flow out of the bottle. It lathers quite well. But I find that with shower gels is that it is better to use with a loofah. A bit of goes a long way. It will foam up, makes lathering so much more fun and easier. I guess you can alway...
