I used to have chapped lips. As in really dry and flaking. I've tried a number of balms and creams, and these are the ones I've found most effective in healing, softening, and smoothening my chapped lips - Skinfood's Cocoa Lip Blam, The Face Shop's Lip Care Cream, and Kiehl's Lip Balm #1:

Received my J.Lynne samples and lipcreams in less than a month! Yay!

First off, the foundation was great. Smooth texture, silky finish, and great coverage. Good oil control, too. It took several hours before I needed to use a blotting paper. Light Golden was a bit too light. Medium Golden was the best match; a tiny bit too tan if you look close enough under natural light, but hardly noticeable. A mix of the two is perfect, but I'm not a fan of mixing shades so I'm getting a full size of the Medium Golden when my samples run out. To adjust the color, I can always put a light dusting of yellow finishing powder, which J.Lynne thankfully has. I can definitely see why this brand is the HG of many girls!

I love the lipcreams even more! I needed to rub the stick a few times on the back of my hand to warm it up, but afterwards, it glided on easily and smoothly. Sheer, very pretty colors with a lovely bit of shimmer that isn't overpowering at all. I got Judy (described on the site as "neutral rose with brown undertones"), Mae ("neutral rose with russet undertones"), and Sophia ("soft, neutral pink"). I wish I had gotten more. I also discovered that they had the added benefit of making my chapped lips smoother. I just might get all the shades on my next purchase!
