Balm’s away

Two of my all-time lip balm favourites: Khiel’s Lip Balm #1 and Smith’s Rosebud Salve. My sensitive pout can get super dehydrated (so not a good look), but these two little pots of goodness are emollient enough to keep my pucker nice and moisturized, in a way that little tubes of lip balm have never been able to do.
Until now. Just absolutely loving the Organic Lip Therapy from Consonant ($12). It has a fresh, pepperminty scent and in just a few days it got my lips back into decent shape (lately, they’ve been particularly dry and flaky — so much so that I’ve had to break out the old toothbrush to buff them gently using some balm – a trick that really works btw). Organic Lip Therapy’s packed full of essential fatty acids, vitamin A and E–not to mention being totally natural and organic–which also earns it bonus points in my book.
Forget buying a vowel, Pat. I’m buying a Consonant.

I agree! No other lipbalm can beat it. AND it lasts once it’s on!

I’ve been using the Organic Lip Therapy from Consonant and quite like it.

Purchasing it based on your recommendation … I’ll let you know how it works out for me!

Please do let me know! So individual a choice, though! I know people who swear by Carmex (and I love its retro packaging and scent) but it makes my lips all tingly and irritated!
