If there’s one thing we know to be true, it’s this: there’s no such thing as too many lip balms.
We need at least two for every handbag we own, one in the bathroom cabinet (to apply at the end of our skin care routine), one on the night stand (the precautionary protective second layer before we go to sleep at night), and a handful in the car for on-the-go touch ups with one hand on the wheel.
All of the above would be an unbelievably expensive ordeal if we had to pay full prices for our favourite lip balm formulas, but thankfully they can all be purchased at a discount from our local Chemist Warehouse.
