The Lip Butter That Slays in Negative-Degree Weather Having grown up in the Midwest, I know there's pretty much nothing worse than chapped lips -- especially in the negative-degree winter months. The blistering cold opens up doors (literally, the wind is that strong in Minnesota) for chapped, angry lips, and for us Northerners, it's not uncommon to have a lip balm stashed in every pocket and handbag compartment for when the cold strikes. Having tried hundreds of lip balms in my life (high-end and drugstore), you can guess I'm more than a little picky about them. Nivea Lip Butter Cocoa Butter, $2.99, meets all my requirements, and then some.
First and foremost, the scent alone is to die for. The sweet cocoa aroma is accompanied by a smooth buttery texture, which melts into chapped lips with soothing ease. While the lip butter smells divine, it doesn't come with a synthetic, chemically taste, unlike some flavored and heavily scented lip balms. The real star quality though? The lip butter is infused with supermoisturizing shea butter and almond oil, which instantly hydrate dry skin and leave lips looking luscious and full. Not to mention the butter's ability to withstand howling winds by acting as a hydrating buffer.
As for winter go-tos, this lip balm is a must. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the Stark family used it in-between makeout sessions in the North.
