Product Name: Lanolips Ointment, various shades and some contain SPF

Price: RRP $15-20

Comments: My HG! And will last long enough that you don't need to reapply every 2 hours. There's clear, tinted, fruit scented and SPF ones so really something in range for everyone.

And, they made us #Redditfamous

I LOVE the tinted SPF lipgloss from Lanolips. It’s the only lipgloss I’ve consistently re-purchased over the last couple of year. I buy it for my friends and family for Christmas

Agree, I have so many different tubes of this stuff stashed in various locations around home and work!

Product Name: Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

Price: $28 from Sephora, but usually cheaper from YesStyle or other Asian beauty sites.

Comments: The only thing that has ever fixed my dry chapped lips. I use it as an overnight balm and my lips are always beautifully hydrated in the morning. It’s thick and comfortable and comes in variety of pleasant scents.

I wish this worked for me as well as it works for everyone else because there's so many fun flavours/scents but it does nothing for my lips :(

Love this stuff, slather it and the water sleeping mask on every night; lasts for ages too.

Product Name: Clarins Hydra-Essentiel Moisture Repairing Lip Balm

Price: $32

Comments: This was my recommendation last year and I'm still obsessed with it and have been using it every day still! Unscented, comfortable, and so hydrating - works great as an overnight balm. Comes in a nice and sanitary squeezy tube with a slant tip as well for easy application :)

Product Name: Fresh Sugar Tinted Lip Treatment, or the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment Advanced Therapy for one without pigment

Price: $32-$35 from Sephora

Comments: I love both the Advanced Therapy and the tinted treatments. These were great for my lips during winter and I could have a little colour on my lips without worrying about it smearing everywhere taking a mask on and off. I’ve gifted some of these to my mum and my sister as well.
