Carmex was making lips tingle before Burt's knew anything about Bees! Carmex works, bottom line - it just does. Carmex has been around for 70 years making lips soft and kissable. Like Oprah, I prefer the pot version. Sure the edge of pot gets all crusty but I swear the formula is better than the kind in the tube.

Girl Talk Po names this utilitarian lip balm as one of her top 5 beauty must-haves. (via Adventures in the Stiletto Jungle)

No matter how you slice it - chapped lips aren't sexy. And, unless you're LLCoolJ and can get away with licking your lips every 15 seconds, you need a lip balm that works, is inexpensive, and doesn't get all scummy after three uses. Carmex in the little glass jar is the bomb. They tried plastic jars for a while, but they didn't make that "Carmex" sound when you opened it - so they quietly disappeared.
