Am I the only one who aspires to keep possession of a tin of lip balm until I have used up all the precious lip protection?
I seem to have always had this crazy obsession with hanging onto the tin or tub of lip balm. Previously, I was a Carmex guy. Couldn’t get enough of it. Was really, really irked when they switched from porcelain containers to plastic. (Did that bother anyone else?)
So, I am proud to say that after what must be close to two years (just guessing by the wear and tear on my lip balm tin), I am so very close to finally achieving what I have only done once previously: emptying the lip balm container.
For those of you who may be digging the rugged look of my lip balm tin, here’s one more shot for you to savour:
You are clearly very environment-friendly.
Nowadays, one gets so much lip balm (in toiletries bags) while travelling that you’d think we are suffering an epidemic of chapped lips!
However those Neutrogena or Molton Brown tubes are minuscule in size so this feeling of cleaning out can be enjoyed frequently. 🙂
Try it, you won’t regret it and imagine how many posts could come out of it! 😉
Hi Shefaly: Re-reading this post and your comments has made my lips go dry. Are chapped lips really just psychosomatic?
Since this post, I have indeed emptied the tin and filled it up again.
Maybe I like the weathered look of the tin? It’s the closest I’ll ever get to being rugged.
