It’s hard for me not to fall continuously in love with new lipbalms. There’s always new packaging, new scents and new brands. And as an avid lipstick wearer, I’ve got to keep my lips moisturized somehow!
The most recent additions to my collection are the new Softlips LUXE lip moisturizers. Last year they came out with the CUBES, and this year we have the LUXES.
What They Say
- Hydrates – with nourishing butters & coconut oil
- Replenishes – with antioxidant vitamins A, C & E
- Smoothes – Rough, chapped lips with light-weight and non greasy formula
- Protects – Moisture barrier that protects against dryness
- Adds shine – for a perfect radiant finish
What I Say
The Softlips LUXE balms are a very soft lip balm formula. INCREDIBLY soft. They melt onto my lips like butter! Although the product comes in a white bullet, both flavours went on my lips clear (bonus! No whitecast!). They’re quick and easy to apply thanks to the bullet and they leave a behind a moderate sheen that’s fairly typical from a stick balm.
I’ve been wearing them overnight to test them out and I do notice that they seem to heal my lips inordinately fast when they’re a bit chapped. For example, I didn’t apply any balm before bed last night, woke up with rough lips this morning, applied some of the LUXE balm (I’m writing this on November 8th by the way) and within thirty minutes my lips are almost back to normal. I was a bit shocked since I wasn’t expecting fast acting results like that!
If you’re looking to pick these up, it seems the Softlips LUXE can only be found at Walmart with a price tag just shy of $5 CAD.

These sound really great! Although I’ll skip on that coconut scent the shea sounds lovely. Have you tried the fresh balms? The way you describe these they almost sound comparable for a quarter of the price…

I still have not tried the fresh lip balms! The price tag always makes me cringe!
Whoops leaving a second comment for the giveaway 😉 My favourite balms at the moment are both the Fresh treatments (always!) and also loving the Rosebud balm at the moment, I use it before bed every night– I think I’m about to hit pan!

PAN ON A LIP BALM! YOU GO HONEY!
I love the bullet style packaging! I have been liking using up the deluxe samples I have of the Bite BB for lips lately, does that count as a lip balm?
The bullet is really, REALLY nice on this one.
The Bite BB totally counts as a lip balm! I’ve been using the Agave Mask in Maple and oh man… to die for!
In an effort to not ‘incriminate’ myself I will not tell you how many lip sticks and balms I currently have in my purse. I just like them a lot, ok!? 🙂
Meg recently posted…Finding the Light
HAH! I’ve actually got a stack of them sitting in a little container beside my bedside table because I also love them so much as well!
These sound amazing!!! I have a couple cubes and they’re nice, but these sound so so perfect for winter
Jodi recently posted…Review | ecotools Quick Volume Styler Hair Brush
The cubes are fantastic too! I just read on their Twitter that they have a limited edition Salted Caramel CUBE for the holidays… I wonder if I can find that one because MY GOD I NEED IT.
Currently I’m rocking Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1. It has no flavour or scent but man does it keep my lips happy in this dry dry weather.
Danielle recently posted…Ipsy October 2015 Glam Bag
Kiehl’s eh? I’ve never actually tried anything by them. I’ll go take a peek at them online. Thanks!
My balm love is Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin E & Peppermint. It’s one of the few I repurchase, and I have one at work, one in the purse, one (lost) at home, etc. Love it!
In the past, surprisingly, it was Mint Chapstick or the Blistex pot (white not blue). I’m a sucker for mint but love trying new balms. I’ve bought a couple recently thanks to reading your entire blog archive. Kind of enjoying the slight whitecast from the Nivea Raspberry tin. 🙂
I always keep a tube of Burt’s Bees in my backpack! I love the peppermint flavour to it. 🙂 Sounds like you’re definitely in love with that one!
Blistex is definitely one of the best for healing my lips during the winter months – especially when I’m up on a ski hill and need protection from windburn!
I’m so glad you found some interesting ones to look into from my blog! You know, the Nivea one is such an interesting thing. The whitecast can be way too start if you pack it on (which I kind of tend to do when I’m going to bed), but for daytime use, I do like the slightly blanched out look it can give the lips. I’ve not tried the Raspberry one though! How’s that one? I’m almost done with my Macadamia one…
It’s fairly standard artificial raspberry. I quite like it, but keep it in my purse since I usually reach for something that tingles. I like fruity flavours in a lip balm as well though. Doesn’t taste like raspberries, and the smell isn’t too strong or anything.
Your blog has actually been bad for me. I hadn’t worn makeup in years but I’ve picked up some balms, a highlighter blush and am planning a trip to Sephora and Mac. Hubby doesn’t mind, but he is confused when I start busting out my makeup again. I love the looks, just rarely do it and HATE taking it off. What I really want to find is affordable blush/highlighter beads. Your recent review of Flocons Enchantes had me drooling.
If you’re looking for an affordable highlighter, check out the drugstore and look for Physicians Formula. They have a phenomenal highlighter that is really, really well liked by a lot of people!
For me, wearing makeup is about getting the chance to paint on my face every day. It’s a washable canvas so I can create new things every day! If you’re having fun with it, that’s all that matters. 🙂
I’ve tried the Fresh Sugar lip balms and I’m not a fan. 🙁 My favourite lip balms of the moment are the H20 lip therapy treatment- it’s meant for people who run marathons, to protect their lips! And I recently picked up the Tokyomilk Dark lip elixir in Smoked Salt. It smells bad, but tastes good and does amazing things for my lips.
Megan Streich recently posted…Review: LUSH Massage Bar in Each Peach (And Two’s a Pear)
Interesting, although I’ve not tried Fresh, everyone seems to recommend them. What didn’t you like?
I didn’t know that about the H2O lip treatments! I’ll have to look into it. I’ve used Jack Black while running and HATED that it made my lips all gummy (sweat + spit I guess).
Odd that your Tokyomilk one would smell bad but taste good!
I didn’t like how soft they were- I had to keep them in the fridge to stop them from breaking. The flavour of them is like over-steeped lemon tea… bitter and sweet. And they’re a bit too thin for my tastes.
Megan Streich recently posted…Review: LUSH Massage Bar in Each Peach (And Two’s a Pear)
Interesting. Never heard it referred to that way! And soft lip products in a bullet form really don’t work for me…
Right now I’m using ChapStick in Peppermint and Cherry!
Always a great standby product!
Entered and my favourite lip balm is EOS, it really helps my lips stay soft and moisturized!

Any flavour preference? I’m partial to the Sweet Mint one!
I have the sweet mint and like the initial tingle but for me it feels waxy after a bit. I wanted to love it, but it’s just okay. 🙁 Shockingly though, my hubby will use it (at home) because he finds it doesn’t leave a shine or residue like others do. He’s a fussy bucket but at least I’ve finally got him moisturizing his lips.
I agree, there is a waxiness to it that isn’t there in other lip balms. I still use it, but not for deep intense hydration that’s for sure.
I’m not sure I’ve seen my husband use lip balm (good on you for getting yours to!), but I do have him using some Bioderma Micellar water to refresh his face when he’s feeling too greasy. Baby steps! 😀
I have a tub of balms beside my bed and at least 2 in my purse, car, and locker. I like Jack Black for heavy duty balming, and Fresh Sugar or MAC Lip Conditioner when the air isn’t painfully dry.
You and me both! I feel like I’ve got lipbalm EVERYWHERE!
Ouu! I rely on a good lip balm especially during this time of year. I’m currently loving Burt’s bees because of the natural ingredients!
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Lindsey Elyse recently posted…Naked Shampoo and Conditioner Review
Burt’s Bees always has great lip options! Good luck. 🙂
My fave lip balm right now is EOS.
I love their little shapes! Any flavour preference?
I swear by Blistex Lip Medex. It softens and heals chapped lips almost immediately.
That stuff is almost magic, I swear. I love the Lip Medex stuff!
😊
I love lip balm and lip gloss and I’m always trying out new brands. I’m currently loving Friggin’ Lip balm.
I’ve never heard of that! Where do you pick it up?
I think they’re a Canadian company. I haven’t seen their products in store before– I bought mine from their online shop. I highly recommend them.
Thanks so much for the extra info, Angela. I’ll check them out!
My current favourite is the sweet mint eos balm
GREAT choice! I love the Sweet Mint one!
My current favorite is Burts Bees
Always a solid choice. Good luck Florence. 🙂
I’m enjoying the Sugar lip balms. Wish they weren’t so expensive!
I know… the price of those ones have really made me balk at picking them up.
I like that I would be able to see how much I have left really easily… For the price they are totally worth checking out!
Rebekah recently posted…mani monday on a tuesday
Oh that’s true, I hadn’t thought of the visibility aspect of it. I always end up twisting up my tubes to see how much I have left because I’m soooo impatient to know details like that. lol
I like EOS
The shape of them are so adorable!
My current favourite lip balm is one that my sister made in a blackberry scent. It’s really good!
That’s really cool! Does she make a lot of her own beauty product?
She has done a little bit. I think she’s made deodorant as well.
my favorite lip balm happens to be the strawberry sherbert softlips
Ooo good pick!
Right now it’s the EOS mint
The sweet mint one? That’s one of my favourites. 🙂
I’m using Blistex right now, but would love to try these Softlips lip moisturizers!
You really cannot go wrong with Blistex! Every time I used them I’m like “oh wowww is this ever nice!”.
I’m still loving the Watermelon Softlips from the summer
Oooo I never saw that one! Sounds delicious. 🙂
Huge fan of the berry soft lips
I love my Softlips Cubes! Good luck Kelly. 🙂
I like EOS
Any particular flavour you like the most?
Softlips of course
I’ve loved this brand since I was in my teens – they always have great options. 🙂
I really like Burt’s Bees lip balm
I love their options! My favourite is the one that has a minty flavour to it.
I love the EOS Balm
Their Sweet Mint flavour is one of my favourites. 🙂
I like the Burts bees tinted lipblam
I haven’t used those in ages, but I remember loving them!
Soft lips is my fav! 😀 Thanks!
I love a peach mango lip balm!
Oooo that sounds good. Is there a particular brand tick makes one with that scent?
I’m currently testing one from Wood’s Body Canada. I am a lip balmaholic!!
Oooo I’ve never heard of them! I’ll have to check that company out.
Right now I am using a Burt’s bees stick, original.
That one’s been mentioned a lot! It’s definitely a classic. 🙂
Standard Blistex for it’s healing properties during the day, but at night, I use the It Cosmetics Vitality Lip Flush 4-in-1 Reviver Lipstick Stain. Don’t care about the staining part or anything, but it’s thick, a little waxy (but it’s not.. hard to explain) and leaves my lips smooooth in the morning. Otherwise I’m like you, and I have dry, cracked lips. I’ll be out soon, so I’ll have to try these out!
I’ve never heard of the Cosmetics Vitality one! I’ll need to look into it – where do you get yours?
I actually got mine in a swap meetup a while back.

I like Bioderma lip balm for dehydrated lips
I didn’t even know they had a balm!
Not just saying this, but softlips!
They’re a fantastic brand and a lot of people have said the same. I remember my best friend using them all throughout high school, and that was 15 years ago!
I like the lemon flavoured lip balm I got from Bath and Body works.
Oooo I’ve never tried their balms before!
