The 'Transfer Plan" - Now THAT Sounds like a great plan!


Does anyone else find that they have to rotate lip balm as it loses effectiveness?

Okay, I don't get the fascination about Burt's Bees. I bought a tube about a month ago because I'd heard it was great. I thought it was just like regular, plain ole' chapstick. I pitched it.

Hmmmm... "lose effectiveness". You mean, wearing off quickly? Or gradually allowing chapping even when reapplied often?

DH says if we were stranded on a desert island the first thing he's gonna ask is if I have my chap stick and how much. He says as soon as its gone, hes swimming!

Well, I like the Pomegranate type which I wouldn't have tried if a co-worker hadn't given me a collection of five different balms for my birthday last year. It's silky and has a light pleasant scent.

Burt's Bees "Lip Shimmers" in the skinny tube are terrible though. My co-worker picked a shade she thought would work for her and she looked like she was dearly departed. Awful. (Looked terrible on me too.)

The latter. Seems like when I use one particular brand of lip balm for an extended period, regardless of the brand, it loses effectiveness. Once I switch, it's fine.

My lips "get used to" the lip balm? Seems kinda odd, but it's true.​
