hi, all the mylotter, i wish to ask that is they anyone will use a lipbalm as a base before put lipstick? or you will just use a moisture lipstick to skip the lipbalm? I will put lipbalm as a base before i put lipstick because my lips very dry... so i need to put lipbalm to moisture it and when i put lipstick, it would be look too dry... but the only problem is since i using a lipbalm as a base, the lipstick come out easily.... so, I wish to know is they anyone here have the same problem as me? if yes, how you solve it?

I have the terrible tendency to lick my lips and chew on them all day long.I just can't wear lipstick. I even tried that kind that isn't supposed to come off. I ended up chewing it off and having sore lips for days. I will stick with tinted lip balm which I can just reapply very frequently. I got one called Terra Tints at Wild Oats at the beginning of the summer and use it the most. I also have a nice Burt's Bees one that I like very well also.

the lip balm makes the lipstick to slide off making it fades easily. To avoid this, try to sandwich your regular face powder between your lip balm and lipstick.

Yes, I usually do this. My lips can become very dry and using lipbalm makes the lipstick stay on longer. What I noticed though, is that when I do this, sometimes, the lipstick easily wipes off. LOL!

Hi my friend! I do put on lipbalm before my lipstick but the problem i found is the lipstick will "disappear" faster if i put on lip balm. That's why when i put my lipstick again after lunch, i will not put lip balm again. The other reason is because I'm lazy. And I also seldom put on lipstick again after lunch. It's only once in a blue moon when i suddenly feel like to put it on again.

Yes, of course! And because my lip color is quite dark...I usually have foundation onto my lip, and use lipstick.
