New HG Lip Balm? Jack Black

I won't bore you with the repetition that I am a lip balm junkie...but I am, there you go. So far, Babylips are my HG (Holy Grail) balms. But recently, I shelled out $7 (yikes!) for the Jack Black Intense Therapy lip Balm in Natural Mint.

 
This has a SPF 25 which is awesome and feels cooling on the lips, as well as has a strong mint scent that other people can smell and will keep you feeling fresh. It is more glossy on the lips than Babylips, and is in a squeeze tube. It moisturizes my dry lips very well and the feeling is addicting.

 
Everyone has always raved about these, and they do live up to the hype. However, $7 is expensive for me to spend when I am already almost done with the tube (in about a week and a half). Yes, I regularly balm my lips up, but that is still scary.
 
Overall, Jack Black is in the running for my HG lip balm. But my mom laughs and says "Isn't that for guys?" well yeah...mom, I need industrial strength stuff! Haha
 
Are you a Jack Black fan?

Holy Grail Chapsticks!

I love finding Holy Grail products, products that are my go-to everyday. I can usually tell they are winners because I go through them like hot-cakes.

So today I would love to introduce you to my two HG chap sticks, the babies that save my lips and grace them on a daily basis.


The first is the cult fave LipSmackers in Dr. Pepper. It smells lovely, gives a subtle red tint to lips, and is moisturizing. Plus it has the cute factor. This guy has never let me down and I have been using this for years. Since high school.

I love the sheen, and the little bit of color. This retails for $3 at drugstores, I get mine at Target.

If you have been reading my blog for a while, you know I was kinda obsessed with Maybelline Baby lips ($3) for a long time. I still am....but I have chosen a favorite. Peppermint.

The purple and green tube is my lifesaver. I use it all day, everyday. I also use it as a night-treatment, and when my lips are so chapped they hurt. The peppermint oil in it calms me down and feels soothing. I love this thing.

I love it so much, here is a picture of it at the end of its's rope. I bought a new one, but I am peeved because the recent Baby Lips have a sticker on the cap instead of the clear tube with letters. Fail.

But I still love them both. And there you go, my HG chap sticks!

What are your HG chap sticks? I would love to hear!
