I am addicted to lip balms. I bring a tube with me to meetings, to class, and have no fewer than three or four tubes scattered around my car. I cannot go to sleep at night unless I know that there's a tube of soothing something within arm's reach on my bedside table. But if I go without my lip gunk, after a few hours I would have Cryptkeeper lips.

Kinerase is renowned for their eye treatment, so I had high hopes for their lip stuff, and the C. Cox-worthy brand did not let me down. The treatment is super emulsifying and has a light sweet taste as it absorbs into your lips. It's not the lip treatment to stash in your ski parka, as it's gone within minutes, but it leaves your lips way softer and less likely to chap.  Plus, after a week of use, my lips were definitely plumper. Now I need a new balm to protect them. Any suggestions?
