My Lips' Best Friend and my Face's New Enemy!

I keep losing my Chapstick Original so I ventured to Wal-Mart to buy a few more lip moisturizer to stash in my room and purse.  It took me 20 minutes to find the right product for my lips partly because I did not know where the pharmacy section was (new Wal-Mart nearby), and partly because I was distracted by the other beauty products on display.  I compared ingredients, cost, and amount.  Conclusion:  Vaseline Lip Therapy in a tube is the WINNER!

Why is Vaseline Lip Therapy the winner?  Because
1.  Cost:  .92 cents for...
2.  10g of product in a tube with...
3.  the least amount of ingredients:  100% white petroleum and flavor

COMPARED TO
Chapstick Original with SPF 12 protection
1.  3 pack for $2.94 which is 1 stick/.98 cents
2.  only 4g of product in a stick
3.  has other ingredients that may irritate my skin

The cause of my upper lip allergy and perhaps the random psoriasis spots on my face:  very expensive Laneige products!
All four I bought for approx $150.00 at Amore, a reputable Korean beauty shop at H-Mart.  I have been using the products for less than a year on and off and never had reactions until April.  On April of this year, I developed dry and crusty upper lip skin which I thought was due to my 3-day trip with no clean water and stress.  I tested the products twice again this month, and they yielded unforgivable results.  My upper lip felt a burning sensation, showed redness, and developed white and yellow crust.

Lip therapy to the rescue! As you can see, I have the "burns" on my upper lip.  Vaseline Lip Therapy calmed the irritation.  I applied it last night multiple times and the last time I moisturized was at 10PM last night.  10 hours later, smooth and calm but still red.  I am expecting the irritation will disappear by Wednesday of this week.

On another note, I will continue using the Chapstick Original because it is still usable.  I have one that is unopened and the other I can use for backup in my purse.  I have plans for the empty stick after.  I will update when it comes.

Peace .<
