Lauren Luke's best beauty buys: lip balms

By Terry rose lip balm £30.34, Space NK Lauren says This felt special – lovely texture that really does soften lips. Luxurious, long-lasting and smells like Turkish Delight. My favourite. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Photograph: Sara Morris Photograph: guardian.co.uk Clarins moisture replenishing lip balm £15, Clarins Lauren says Has a sweet scent that smells divine – good enough to eat. I liked the easy-to-use tube and really does smooth out cracked lips. ????

Does a great job and good value, too. ???? Photograph: guardian.co.uk Dr Hauschka lip-care stick £9 Lauren says I really like this – it’s easy to use and definitely softens lips. Great to wear under lipstick for a moisturising feel. ???? Photograph: guardian.co.uk Eos sphere lip balm £4.90, Space NK Lauren says Novelty but handy egg-shaped pot. Lovely smell – like mint cake – but not the best texture. Overall fair. Can’t grumble at this price. ???

Felt nice and smooth while on, but it didn’t improve the texture of dry lips once it wore off. ?? Photograph: guardian.co.uk
