Breaking up with Carmex

Yesterday's best effort…

I've been die-hard Carmex user since 2004.  It was thick, felt almost-medication like, and made my lips feel fabulous.  Tastes terrible, of course.  But I got used to that.


I've tried other chapsticks and lip balms in the last few years and they've all left my lips dry and gross feeling.  EOS, Burt's Bees, etc.  I haven't had any luck.

Lately I've found myself using my Carmex (I keep several tubes around the house) somewhere around 6 times a day.  Inconvenient.  If I don't use it, my lips feel awful and then I'm in a bad mood. On Tuesday, I lost one of my Carmex tubes and then I forgot my spare on the bathroom counter and I was pretty miserable all day.  I was constantly using another kind of gloss/balm and it was doing nothing for me.  Of course, I had that one laying around in my purse.  

So, I come to you all.  Tell me your favorite chapstick, please.
