With this post I am just proving that I am slightly crazy and obsessive (previously discussed here) as I own every single Lanolips lip balm (except the new Lemonaid one, just because I am a little scared of citrus flavours of any description). When I say that I own every single colour, I mean that I have bought every colour myself. Please don't judge me too harshly!
The main reason I think Lanolips is so darn good? The balms are natural, ultra medical grade lanolin. The 101 ointment is pure lanolin, while the coloured balms contain lanolin, sweet almond oil coconut oil, Vitamin E, grape oil and Shea butter for moisturizing, plus SPF 15 (perfect for summer, because we cannot forget that out lips can get skin cancer too!). No petrolatum, mineral oils, or nasty parabens to be wary of!
You know how some lip balms make your lips hurt even more when you put it on, so you have to keep reapplying? Lanolips does the complete opposite of that, making your lips more moisturised and soft then you have ever felt before in your life!
The balms are quite thick, but they spread very easily and are not sticky at all. I hate sticky lip balms and glosses, so I do think that is another one of the reasons that I love these balms so much.
Plus, the colours that they come in are gorgeous and sheer. I personally think that all of the colours would suit everyone depending what mood you are in, but like everything it depends on the person!
I use the 101 ointment as my before bed lip balm, I slather on a thick layer and wake up with repaired lips. For day, I choose one of the coloured lip balms (for the SPF), depending on my mood, or which ever lippie I am wearing.
Here are the lovely lip balms:

My pick of the colours for summer? Sunshine, the perfect bright coral!

I am a little scared of lemonaid, I hate the smell of citrus anything but I know that everyone loves it so I kinda want to give it a go!
