The Secret Art of Chapstick

One would think that just picking up any random chapstick would do the job properly. I am here to say that it's not that easy...especially for someone that has a snout as sensitive as I do.

Either its too waxy, too perfumey, or it has too much of an after-taste.

When I was home visiting, Lesley allowed me to use her orange flavoured Labello. It was fantastic. I then tried to find it at the local Super Drug Mart - they didn't have that flavour, so I assumed grape would do the job. We all know what happens when I assume things. Something about your ass and me. Twas perfumey and grody to the maximum dude.

My all time favourite is mint flavoured Chapstick. Not Blistex. Chapstick. It's perfect. The correct consistency, not waxy, not perfumey. Just minty goodness. As well, the Blistex Lip Medex in the blue container is good. Some say it tastes like Vicks Vapo-Rub, but I think it's swell.

There IS an art to chapstick......don'tcha know.
