Must Try, Beauty Buy, You Decide

Must-Try:
My dermatologist has always warned me NOT to lick my lips in the winter because it will intensify the dry, itchy feeling that entices me to bite and run my fingers over my cracked, little lips. Not a sexy smile!

This winter, there's a secret, super-inexpensive, multi-tasking moisturizer that is safe and gentle enough to use on your lips. Aquaphor Healing Ointment helps to soothe and protect dry, irritated lips and seals in moisture. This multi-tasking drugstore treatment also works well to heal chapped skin on the arms, knees, heels...you name it! It's also fragrance and preservative free - love that!

Beauty Buy:
There's one lip love in my life that has never lost its charm, or it's effectiveness! Rosebud Salve is a cult-classic lip balm that conditions, calms and cools my dry and irritated lips upon contact. It's also one of those mutli-tasking skin savers that has been used to soothe everything from burns to diaper rash! I can't testify to the two above uses (burns and diaper rash), but I can say it keeps my smile smooth and dry skin soothed all winter long!

It also has a light scent, which I love! Not to strong, not to faint! It's a perfect rose.

You Decide:
How many steps would you take to achieve lovely lips in the winter? Layers of creams, exfoliants, lotions and potions? Benefit Lipscription is a dynamic duo that smoothes and soothes lips, and then enhances volume and plumps them up. This two step process begins by buffing the dry skin off of the lips with jojoba-enriched scrubbing beads. Rub lightly, no need to scrub away your lips or irritate the area even more! Once the dead skin has been removed, slather on a layer of soothing lip balm that hydrates and plumps simultaneously. As a on-the-go girl, is this lip enhancer worth the steps and the fuss?

Is this a winter must buy or a product you'd pass by?
