I need your help!! Dry lips..

I have never really had dry lips before but recently its been taken to a whole new level..! I don't know whether its been the cold weather or the 8 hour cream not working for me anymore. 

This probably doesn't make sense as my last post was me saying how much I love the 8 hour cream on my lips, but in the last few weeks my lips have been SO dry and cracked no matter how much of it I apply!

I need your recommendations on what you use on your lips too keep them moisturised and smooth. 

I find vaseline slides around on my lips too much once its warmed up to the temperature of my lips and ends up half way around my face! 

Please leave any of your favourite lip masks or balms below as I'm looking for a new one to try. (desperately!)

Thank you! X

Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream review


I got the Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream for Christmas and have been using it A LOT since! 
I have mainly used it on my lips but as you can literally use it anywhere! It says on the back of the product that you can use it to; shape brows, revitalise shine, soothe dry hands, smooth cuticles and can also be used on symptoms of; chapping, peeling, minor burns, sunburn, windburn, scrapes, abrasions or cracked lips. Its a gel-like formula that is orange in colour.

I have recently (the past several months) noticed my lips seem to crack much more than they ever used to. I wanted to try this because I've heard amazing things about it for your lips.
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who has cracked and sore lips because its helped me a lot. I would, however say that it doesn't leave my lips feeling the most moisturised as its more of a healing balm that a moisturising lip balm, but i don't mind that because i know i won't have sore lips for long once i use this.

I would recommend using this before bed as it can take a while to soak into your lips. However, i have used a tiny amount before applying lipliner then lipstick recently and it did work ok.

The only negative thing i would say about this is the smell of it. I can't describe what i actually smells of, but its just not nice! I can just about put up with the smell because the end result is worth it. But i would recommend testing this and smelling it before you buy as its a lot of money to waste if you decide you can't handle the smell!
