A couple of months ago Chapstick kindly surprised me with an adorable package that contained their latest lip balms called Day & Night by Chapstick. I couldn’t have asked for a better gift given I had just polished off my Elizabeth Arden and Maybelline baby lips, two products I had been using as part of my skin care rotation.
I’m just going to go out there and say that I -love- these two products and may or may not have already purchased back ups…
These are both very similar in consistency and texture, as well as finish. They lean on the greaser side of balms and can be applied either directly from the tube or using your fingers. I strictly only use these at the end of my night time and morning skin care routine and so I prefer using my fingers since my hands. During the day I tend to opt for something that can be applied directly from the tube for hygiene reasons.
The formula leaves my lips feeling incredibly smooth and soft, I wake up in the morning with lips already prepped for lipstick and in the morning I don’t experience any chapping. I can say this duo has had a highly positive impact to my lips (as strange as that sounds).
You’ll notice that the day time balm contains almost double the amount that the night time balm does, I’m assuming that’s because if you were to take this with you, you’re more likely to reapply the day time balm more often than night time. Really great idea, and I love when brands consider these scenarios.
And at only $7AUD, I can’t recommend these enough. Unless you hate greasy formulas or applying balms with your fingers, then give these a whirl! They are amazing 🙂
If you’re interested, I’ve found them online at Priceline for just $6.99AUD.
