I really love lipstick, lipgloss, and lipbalms. I've tried many brands and found what I think to be the best is a $1 pot of Carmex you can find at any drug/discount/supermarket. It stays on the longest of all the balms Ive tried. I think it's better than Kiehl's. I like to wear Carmex at night and it makes my lips feel really soft and plump in the morning. It moisturizes by keeping a barrier from the air. It also has salicyclic acid which is used in toners to bring out new skin, which I can atest to. In the mornings I find that my dry, peeling lips are smooth because the old peeling skin just rolls off. I really can't stop raving about this product. It's also used for cold sores(salicyclic acid) so it has a double benefit. It's really minty (menthol). In short I would say it's a waxier long lasting version of Kiehl's (gives the same results) for a cheap price.
