14 Moisturizing Lip Products That Aren't ChapStickThe anything-but-basic balms that will get you through winter |
There's no denying that lip balms are a staple in every beauty lover's bag. Even the non-beauty obsessed know that a winter without lip protectant guarantees one thing for sure: a cracked and irritated pout. Even in other seasons of the year, especially summer, this soothing and hydrating formula comes in handy.
While we won't knock standard-issue lip balms in stick form, in all their lip-smoothing glory, we will admit that they add another step in our beauty routine. If we're looking for color and shine, we have to first apply a layer of ChapStick, then apply a lip shade, be it matte or shine, and then add a gloss. That's a lot of product to carry around to tend to just one feature of your face. Thankfully, cosmetic companies are catching on and creating multi-tasking lip products that offer the same level (if not more) of hydration and soothing that you'd score from your average lip balm and fusing it with all of the other lip products you'd plan on applying after (think shades, textures, shine and more).
To keep your pout pretty, crack-free and moisturized, we put together a list of the products that hydrate and keep your lips from chapping but don't come in a basic tube.
