School & Lip Balms

I'm halfway through the spring quarter at my university and like always it has come to the point where I'm stressing over anything and everything. Weekends are pointless for college students (may be just for me), they just go by doing homework and prepping for the coming week. Even when there is no work, I stress over by thinking that eventually there will be. Bleh. 

Besides school, I thought I would share some of my most loved lip balms. I always invest in good lip balms because since I've started using lip balms, I've always had very dry lips. I've tried chap sticks, vaseline and nivea lip balms but they have irritated my lips and made they more dry. 

1. Christian Dior, Crème de Rose` thick-light pink colored balm that comes in the most beautiful packaging. The balm smells like fresh rose petals (not those artificial rose scents) and after just one apply, the lips look healthy. Also, it has SPF 10. $27 

2. Marc Jacobs, Lip Lock Moisture Balm` clear-moisturizing lip balm with mint flavor for everyday. The main reason for this purchase was the high SPF 18. It isn't very thick but still gives enough moisture for the lips and the mint infusion gives a refreshing feel on the lips. $24

3. Bite, Agave Lip Mask` the most amazing overnight lip balm, thick-clear vaseline consistency and has light floral scent. After just one apply, the lips look so healthy (like I've been drinking glasses of water). Since, it is very thick and has no SPF, the mask is perfect for night (also, it has 99% natural ingredients). $26

4. Befine, Lip Serum` it is one of the most natural lip serum/balm I've used. It has chamomile and beets as the ingredients. It is has no fragrance or parabens. The serum is clear and moisturizing, it can be used day or night. All befine products are based on vegetarian proteins. $25

5. Christian Dior, Lip Glow` as the name suggests, it is a "color reviver balm". The balm itself has a light pink color and packaging is just what you would expect, beautiful. It works as a lipstick but by changing it to the users lip color. It revives and moisturizes the lips original color without looking like a lipstick. Also, the balm has floral scent and SPF 10. $32

6. Korres, Lip Butter (Mango)` this lip butter works just like the Dior lip glow but smells likes mangoes and looks orange in the pod. Before getting the mango shade I was a little afraid that it would be too pigmented. But after giving it a try, the color actually comes off as light orange-pink shade on the lips and it moisturizes the lips just like the other favorite balms. It has no SPF but it gives beautiful sheen to the lips and has no harsh chemicals. $12
