Do you use any of this for dry lips and does it really help ? How long have you been using this and do you feel that you have become addicted to the stuff ?

I've used lipgloss for years - probably since I was a teen in the dinosaur days. I only started using chapstick in the last few years, when I moved back to the north and cold winters. (Thanks...there's yet another reason I hate living in the north.)

I use blistex but I'm not entirely sure it helps. When my lips are really chapped, in the winter mostly, blistex feels like it's helping because it kind of tingles, but I'm not sure exactly how much good it really does!

No i used to use chapstick and sometimes blistex but it is not something i buy anymore. I will buy it in the winter when my lips feel dry. I do use lip gloss though cause I like the way it makes my lips shine and I like the feel of it too. I am not addicted to id though cause I only use it when I want to and it doesn't bother me if I don't use it all the time. I like to wear it going out but wear it around the house sometimes if I have people coming over.

This is too weird, I have tried several times to use chapstick when my lips get real dry especially in the winter time and it never fails I always end up with a cold sore so I threw the whole works in the garbage.

Proabably best for you because I swear they put something in them to cause you to become addicted especially in the blistex ones . I don't know if you have ever tried a little vaseline when your lips are dry but they recommended this once when my daughter was really small and her lips were crapped so bad they were bleeding . Thank you for your response .

I used Carmex when I was younger...now I just use chapstick..no flavor though...I just like it plain.... There were times I thought I couldn't live without it...My husband would say, "Okay already, do you think you have enough on?" Then we laughed until our sides ached...I told him I was just making sure....LOL

That is the same one I am addicted to as well . I have so many of them around the house because it is so bad that if I am even running low , I end up with a headache because I know that if I don't have any that my lips will burn so bad . My little's ones think it is a lot of fun to put it on because they see Mommy doing this and my husband doesn't want them using it at all because he doen't want them to become addicted like me . My youngest is terrible for finding one and wasting the whole jar on her lips if I forget and leave one lying around where she can reach it . The last time I went and bought some , I wanted to be sure I would have enough for awhile because they don't always have the blue jar ones when I go in and I am not as fussy on the white jar ones and it ended up costing me thirty five dollars . I thought I was going to have a heart attack when I left the store , I really need to get away from this stuff :) Thank you for your response .

yes i use lip gloss and yes, i am addicted to it. i now hate the feeling when my lips are dry and i have also heard that cheap lipgloss is so not good for you because it leaches nasty chemicals into your system, so i am careful what i buy.

I know what you mean , I buy the blistex all the time and wish I had never started because I am so addicted to it now that I am unable to go without my lips chapping so bad that they bleed . Thank you for your response .

I only use it when my lips are chapped really bad. I normally use Chapstick or Blistex. I have some Carmex too. I hate lip gloss. I don't think it really helps chapped lips.

Hi. samtaylorskykierajen. I use all of them. But I use chapstick and Blistex more. They really work into making my lips look supple and moist. The Blistex has SPF15 in it too. It works on healing my chapped and dried lips. I love chapstick because it is a life saver.

I rarely use this stuff, and I really don't have dry lips often, but I am very fond of lipsticks.

I use lip gloss whenever I feel like and I mainly use it during the winter time out here.Otherwise I prefer to be natural and use lille bit of lipstick when I go out. Regards
