I am a lip balm fanatic. It's a beauty staple that I am very dependent with. I can live without lipstick but not without lip balm. I am born with very dry lips despite of hydrating myself often. I've tried and tested various lip balm brands and only a few suit me well.

Moreover, lip balms that pass my standards have the following criteria:

1. Effectiveness

A lip balm's primary function is to make the lips free from dryness, chapping, and cracking, making them smooth, plump, and soft in no time. Smooth and soft lips look younger, fresher, and healthier. A lip balm also aids in making any lipstick especially the one with matte formula glide on smoothly, leaving lips moisturized and not dry at all.

2. Safety

Whenever I shop for lip balms, I check their ingredients. Are they made from natural and safe ingredients? Are they free from harmful or carcinogenic components? If yes, I go for them. I am now in a state that I am more conscious with what I apply on my face and body.

3. Great Taste

I always opt for a fruity lip balm with a hint of mint and vanilla or a just a plain minty one can do.

4. Light Consistency

I don't want my lips to look like I've just eaten greasy food. I want a lip balm that leaves a thin layer of gloss on my lips, not too shiny or greasy. 

5. Affordability

I am a frugal person. I believe that it doesn't necessarily mean that if a product is expensive, it's safe and effective already. Why spend more on a good product if you can purchase a better and cheaper alternative?

6. Availability

I am a loyal product user if it satisfies me and serves its purpose well. It breaks my heart when I ran out of a certain lip balm brand that I love and I can't readily purchase it in a nearby mall, drugstore,  or online. Online shopping may be an option. Additional shipping fee adds on the expenses but for me it's okay as long as the product is really worth purchasing. I admit that I am "kuripot" and I am not ashamed of being one. I don't mind adding an additional fee for shipping because it saves time, a thing that is always lacking due to mom duties, it's hassle-free, and convenient. I don't need to go out anymore because the product shall be delivered right on my doorstep.

7. Reliable and Convenient Packaging

For hygiene purposes, I prefer a tube type lip balm packaging than the tub type. I don't want to apply lip balm using my fingers because it's messy, unhygienic, and inconvenient. I love a lip balm packaging that is very light and not bulky so that I can slip it easily in my pocket, clutch, or small makeup case. I don't want something that takes so much space and weight of my bag. I also find a lip balm packaging reliable where I can read the detailed product information including claims, ingredients, manufacturer, distributor, batch number, manufacturing date, expiration date, and other important details that consumers need to know.

8. Amazing Staying Power

I am a type of girl who doesn't like retouching makeup often especially lipstick or lip balm because I find it inconvenient due to my not-so-conscious and on-the-go personality. The staying power of my lip balm matters to me. The longer that it stays on my lips to keep them smoother and softer, the better.

In line with this, I have discovered another lip balm brand that I've added to my top choices, and that is GEMZ LIP BALM. 

Gemz Lip Balm naturally moisturizes and smoothens my lips. It's enriched with Shea Butter, Vitamin E, and Jojoba Oil, three of my most favorite beauty product ingredients. It is infused with antioxidants and SPF 15, keeping my lips protected from harmful UV rays and other harsh environmental elements.

Just recently, I tried and tested the following variants: Citrine Lemon, Ruby Strawberry, and Peach Moonstone which I really, really like especially Ruby Strawberry. Their tastes are not too sweet or overwhelming, and very, very light. It has three more variants: Emerald Pineapple, Blue Amethyst, and Mint Zircon. I wonder how they taste? Hmmm...
