Our fave lip balms!

Forget vampy red lipstick or a chic lip-liner, luscious lips' best accessory is the almighty lip balm. They're the real superstars making your lips oh-so-kissably soft. You don't need anything too fancy, you just need one of these solid stand-bys.

We absolutely never leave home without our Strawberry Lip Balm by the Rosebud Perfume Co. ($7.) And if you still have doubts, just know that the Rosebud Perfume Co. has been beautifying broads since the 1800's.

If strawberry isn't your flavor -- how about buttercream? Remember to use Lush's Honey Trap ($8.75) on your lips -- not eat the whole tin. Of course, for a refreshing and old stand-by go for Lipsmacker's most desired flavor -- Dr. Pepper ($1.75.)

Leave the sweets behind, though, if it's something more heavy-duty you're after, go for Philosophy's Kiss Me Exfoliating Lip Scrub ($15.) This is shimmery smooth lips in a tube. And for a balm that is truly the bomb -- theBalm to the Rescue ($16.) Not only does this little compact rescue your chapped lips, all its proceeds go to "Pug Rescue."

My favorite lip chap is Burt's Bees replenishing lip balm with pomegranite oil. It gives your lips a slight color, moisturizes, and tastes amazing!

I always wear unscented, unflavored chapstick (obsessively!) and don't wear anything else on my lips. I love kissing my husband, and he's not so much into the taste, stickiness, gunk, and shimmer of other products (which I didn't consider when I was single). Plus, ya don't need a mirror for application. If I am realy wanting some extra color, I use a lip stain by the body shop when I do my make-up in the morning and it doesn't wipe off on anything :)

Philosophy products are wonderful. How about MAC's Tinted Lip Conditioner? I LOVE that stuff. It makes your lips super soft and adds some nice color as well.
