Lip balm with tinted pigment Volupte Liquid Balm, YSL, 2 620 rub.
At first, as a fan of nude matte lipsticks, I was scared that the balm would be too bright - in the package it seems that it is straight raspberry. But in fact, it is almost transparent and only enhances the natural pigment of the lips, makes them a little brighter and more voluminous. I liked that the balm holds firm (it survived coffee quite well) and after it the lips become smoother. The only obvious negative for me is the perfume fragrance. I don't like it when cosmetics smell so strong.

Lip balm Berry Lip Fix, Skyn Iceland, 999 rub.
Awesome balm. Firstly, as soon as you apply it, you feel a slight tingling and chill. Secondly, it moisturizes and smoothes lips very well. And the most important thing is that you do not feel it, the balm does not lay down with a greasy sticky layer, but is absorbed quickly enough.

Moisturizing lip balm Eau Thermale Stick Levres Hydratant, Uriage, 563 rubles.
It is applied very gently to the lips and does not create an unpleasant sticky feeling. For those who, like me, suffer from chapped lips every autumn and winter, it is simply salvation. It will not remove all cracks and dryness in one night, but it will definitely relieve discomfort. I use it before going outside to avoid further chapping, this balm does an excellent job.

Revitalizing lip balm Cicaplast, La Roche-Posay, 424 rub.
Perfectly moisturizes and nourishes the lips. For me, this is just salvation in the cold season, and especially for those with dry lips, this is a real must-have. Life hack for lovers of bright lipstick: you can apply a little before makeup, then the color will become richer and last longer.
Alina Grigalashvili, fashion editor
Tinted lip balm French Kiss Tinted Lip Balm Seduction, Caudalie, 1010 rub.
This balm is suitable for those who do not like to feel lipstick / gloss / hygiene on the lips. I do not belong to this type of people. For this I love Carmex and Lucas Papaw - I smeared it and you get high. This one has a completely different structure - light and not oily. Hence - no moisture. And why does Rosie Huntington-Whiteley only love him?

Night restoring lip care Nightly Lip Treatment, Dermalogica, 4850 rub.
Although Dermalogica's Nightly Lip Treatment is nighttime, I used it in the morning and afternoon as a regular balm. Firstly, I liked the slightly beveled metal applicator - it is very convenient to apply the cream. Secondly, the product is instantly absorbed and smells slightly of menthol. As a result, after a few days of application, my lips stopped drying altogether (and they usually peel off a lot in autumn). And yet, it happens that after applying the balm after some time in the cold an unpleasant white film forms (and you walk like this until you see yourself in the mirror). So, with this tool I have never had this!
Alexandra Osipova, editorial assistant
Weleda Everon Lip Balm, 287 rub.
The smell of the balm is not very pleasant - it gives off some kind of oils. It lays down too thick, but moisturizes for a short time. In winter, my lips dry very much, and I did not like this balm at all. In the cold season, I advise you to find something more nutritious.
Nika Bulgakova, senior news editor
Lip balm "Raspberry and White Chocolate", Faberlic, 99 rub.
I liked the smell of this balm, but the quality is not very good. I do not like too liquid textures of glitters and balms, but he is just that. Another drawback is that it is quickly absorbed (or maybe my lips are too dry). In general, if you need a good moisturizing balm for the cold season, it is better to look for something else.
Marina Kharlamova, beauty department editor
Moisturizing and regenerating lip balm Hydra-Essential, Clarins, 1600 r.
It has a very pleasant sweetish aroma. It is not felt at all on the lips, it is instantly absorbed, making the skin soft and velvety. An additional bonus - gives the lips a slight push-up effect.
Oksana Kravchuk, editor-in-chief
Lipstick-balm with tint pigment Volupte Tint-In-Balm, YSL, 2620 p.
The pigment of this lipstick is not so pronounced, so you should not be afraid of it. It is applied easily, it immediately moisturizes the lips and smells great. And it looks luxurious.
