best for coldsore sufferers
Dr. Paw Paw Original Balm Original Balm
€7
I’ve never had a coldsore (please God don’t curse me with one now!) but my mam has always suffered from them. She swears that since she started using Dr. Paw Paw a few years ago she hasn’t had a coldsore since. A big claim, I know. But you know if it’s Irish mammy approved it must be good!
She puts it on every night before bed and says it’s the best.

the natural one
EOS SMOOTH SPHERE ORGANIC SWEET MINT LIP BALM
This used to be so hard to get in Ireland! A cult-favourite in the US for a reason, the EOS lip balm is moisturising without being sticky or annoying.
It comes in lots of different flavours, but I just love the mint one – it’s very refreshing and comforting.

Unlike most lip balms, Pro Kiss’r has an ultra plush doe-foot applicator that treats lips to an addictively luxe experience with every swipe. Made with rich yet non-greasy shea and mango seed butters, this lip balm soothes and nourishes while making lips instantly softer, smoother, and ready for lipstick application.

best overall lip balm
Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm
€4.72
I was told that this was the bees knees (lol) by a Beauty Buyer with almost 2 decades worth of experience. She ONLY uses this.
It’s a bit more expensive than other lip balms, but it lasts longer on the lips and is way more soothing.

my personal favourite
ROSEBUD PERFUME CO. Rosebud Salve
$7
My number one lip balm for years now is the Rose co. I HAVE to stock up on it in Sephora every time I’m in the US.
Why am I telling you about something that you can only buy in the US? Well, it’s the best, and I also randomly came across it in an Irish pharmacy a few years ago, but then it disappeared. If anyone knows where to buy it in Ireland please help a gal out and let me know!
If you’re lucky enough to be heading State-side pick one up. It last for ages, feels lovely on the lips (not sticky) and is really moisturising.
