Rarely do I suggest products on this blog, but sometimes something is just too good to not share with you!
First it was how to smell like stripper. Who doesn’t want to smell like some hot chick on a stage?
Then it was the perfect $50 vacuum for hard floors–no carpets allowed.
Now it’s how to have the world’s softest and most kissable lips!
Living in the 4,000,000 degree hell that I do, my lips get all dry and icky sometimes. Especially in the summer. But I’ve found a cure! Woo hoo!
I went from this:
To this:
with the swipe of a little bit of lip balm.
For $9.00 I now have the softest dang lips on earth. And, the corners of my mouth aren’t splitting any more.
I’d tried everything. Neosporin, Vaseline, Chapstick, Burts Bees. You name it, I’d tried it. And I was fed up! Stupid non-working crap. So I did a ton of research on medical sites, chick sites, blogs, etc…and this one fromΒ kiehls.com got a top vote often enough that I thought I’d give it a shot. Within 10 minutes my lips felt better and when I woke up the next day they were smooth as a baby’s butt. This stuff is awesome! I got the mango favored one and it smells so yummy. It costs $9.00, which seems like a lot but isn’t because IT ACTUALLY WORKS! I’ve cumulatively spent a hell of a lot more than that trying to find something that doesn’t suck, so I’m happy to pay 9 bucks. I think the unflavored one is only $7.00.
I have no clue if it’s sold in stores; I ordered mine from kiehls.com. They have unscented or you can pick from 6 scents. They have an SPF one. They also have one in a tube that looks like Chapstick that isn’t glossy (for you boys who don’t want to have shiny, delicious, just-glossed-looking lips). The only one I’ve tried is the Mango one and it is a miracle worker.
I just thought I’d share this with you as I’m sure that while this is a summertime problem for me (as it was 116 degrees yesterday and dry as fuck), I’d imagine others of you have this problem in the Winter. Now you can be prepared.
So there. I’ve done my good deed for the day. π Hope you’ve had a great weekend. Damn things are always way too short!
Mine are always so dry! I freak out if I don’t have chapstick but in reality, that doesn’t actually make a difference. =/ So this is good to know!

Ever since I move to AZ, my once-dewy lips are always dry. It’s awful! But this stuff is awesome! If you get it, let me know what you think. I love it so far. π

I came back from Huntington Beach this morning, it was very humid for that area, and 80 degrees. Arriving back home in Vegas, it was 113 but saw 122 in Baker, Caly. Do you need to drink more water? My feet were cracking from lack of water. Making a point to guzzle a few glasses each day took care of that. Just a thought. π Are those your red lips?

I wish it was a water thing. I drink water like crazy. It’s usually only during the summer when it gets over 110 and is dry as can be. My poor little lips. I hope your feet feel better.
Are those my red lips? Oh goodness, no. π I’d be a mouth model if that set belonged to me! π

I love this! I feel like I’m on a lifelong quest for good lip products so I will absolutely check this out! I’m also very intrigued by the stripper scent post as well. I’m not sure if I want to smell like a stripper (although they do smell good) since I do such a good job of attracting creeps as it is…but I’m interested enough that I might just try it out anyway!

I’m so glad you liked the post. π I tell ya, that lip balm is awesome. And it’s all shiny and pretty.
You should totally try out the stripper perfume. I love it. I also bought the hair perfume. Every time I wear that scent, people tell me I smell delicious. Some people think it smells like cotton candy. Others say sugar cookies. And others say vanilla. I gotta admit, it does make me hungry when I smell it. If you try either the perfume or the lip balm, let me know what you think. π Have a great night! π

I’m thinking of inventing the 5 day weekend and two day week Jodi, do you think it will catch on? If I can get a patent, I’m going to sell it to the Government as the perfect way to end the employment crisis too since there will be plenty of work available on a rotation basis then. Actually it means that every day will be someone’s weekend so Ill have invented the 7 day weekend really. Pleanty of time to apply the lip balm then.
Huge Hugs xxxx

I love products of kiehls although I haven’t tried this one–will go looking forward it. If you are near a Nordstrom Rack they always have some kiehls product there for less than other retailers. Glad you are loving your lips! Happy Nesting–may it keep you cool this summer as well.

Good luck with beating the heat, I hear its just continuing today. We finally cooled down a bit here in Seattle. The boys and I were fighting for access to the bed area cooled by the fan. No one here has air conditioning since it rarely gets above 85 for very long.

I’m so jealous you are in Seattle. The hubby and I want to live (or at least summer) in the Pacific Northwest. That would be awesome. I hope it cools off for you too. 85 without A/C isn’t all that pleasant. Yuck. I live in 68 degrees in the house. Heaven! Screw outside. The sun is overrated! π

Summer in Seattle is wonderful. It makes up for the damp cold the other 8 months of the year. This year, it warmed up in May though and I had to start watering in June, so we’re having a really nice spring and summer so far. Summer lasts into early October up here.

That sounds absolutely delightful. I’d love to summer up there. Our hope is to become some version of snowbird in the next decade or so. I’m quite sure I cannot do 118 degrees when I’m 50. Plus, I love rain and clouds–so, yeah, I live in the desert. Duh…. π
