I woke up this morning with a huge and painful zit on the edge of my lip. It doesn't happen often, but it's enough to be annoying, so I checked the label of my favorite lip gloss (Mentha Lip Tint from Bath & Body Works). It's 2% peppermint oil, which is listed as a no-no for my skin .

It was almost empty anyway so I tossed it and reverted to my summer standby, Chicken Poop (no it's not really poop ) It smells nice and feels good, but... I need something that hydrates better for the harsh Kansas winter. Does anyone have a (CHEAP) alternative?
