Top 3 Tuesday - Lipbalm

Lipbalms are the first makeup products that I got into and they are still up there in my favourites. I love lipbalms for many reasons, mainly because they are so pretty, practical, smell amazing and can be carried around everywhere I go. They are cheap, fun to collect and there are soooo many affordable balms out there you can go crazy! Choosing my Top 3 lipbalms for this week (only 3!) was tricky, but I got there in the end.

1. Maybelline Baby Lips Limited NY Fashion Edition, Protecting Berry
This is my most popular post of all time (by a long shot) and although it isn't the greatest of my reviews, the product certainly deserves top spot. This balm (as is the case with all the Maybelline Baby Lips) is moisturising, smells amazing and comes in the most adorable packaging. Whilst this particular one is no longer available, it is the same flavour (well, scent really) as the Anti-Oxidant Berry one, which is also incredible.

2. Nivea Lip Care Fruity Shine - Pink Guava
There was a reason that this was the first post I ever wrote - this product is brilliant. It is so moisturising, I love the wind up nature of the packaging and the beautiful pink tint is just lovely. The smell is also pretty nice too. This is one balm that I won't be giving up any time soon.


3. Face of Australia Lip Crayon - Cupcake
I would have put this first in my top 3, but I figured that would be pretty unfair considering that it is not marketed as a balm but rather a crayon (a lip balm/lip tint/lip gloss hybrid)! This is the most wearable, beautiful, sheer glossy tint that you will ever find, and for the pack of three it is only $15 - the best value ever! I love this product so much.

Close but not close enough...

For this week's close but not close enough product, we have the Yes to Carrots lipbalm in Berry. These balms are absolutely amazing, and the only reason it found itself in this category as opposed to in my top 3 is because I had completely forgotten about them until I discovered them whilst 'researching' for this post. I am so pleased I have been reminded about these!

    1. Balms are just the greatest things :) They are a little more expensive than other balms, but so worth it!

    1. I just purchased it the other day and I haven't had the chance to use it and review it. I don't like it as much as my other Baby lips ones, but that doesn't mean is isn't wonderful! :)

    1. I haven't tried any of the Burts Bees balms, I've read mixed reviews on them but I myself don't know much about them. Thanks for the link! :)
