If it's any consolation, I'd dearly love some sausages from a shop in Mosman, but they won't ship to me.

In stick form: Dr. Hauschka Lip Care Stick. Smells good and moisturizes well.
In balm form: L'Occitane Lavender Mini Pure Shea Butter. Pleasant lavender smell and moisturizes better than their Lip Balm Stick.

Another Bee Vote
Burt's Bees! I feel desperate when I leave the house without it. I've also gotten my husband hooked on it too.
I've got some of the Burt's Bees Lifeguard balm with SPF too, but it's definitely not the same and it turns your lips white. Not too cool if you're not really a lifeguard!

The oils really soak in and moisturize.. totally don't get that feeling with the waxy chapstick.

For all those who directed me to Labello, I salute you! Through a generous individual, I have obtained Labello Active in Australia. Exactly what I am looking for since it:
1. Keeps lips moisturised
2. Does not gloss
3. Odourless
4. Stick form is so much easier to use compared to the REN tub
To my generous friend, thanks! I'm hooked on Labello...
PS I did try Kiehls but the application method and smell didn't sit well. Personal preference I guess.

When I was a regular (and pretty good) trumpet player back in my school days, particularly during marching band season in college, we would use either Mentholatum or Carmex in the tub. Did a wonderful job protecting and/or healing chapped lips. When lips were pretty chapped, bruised, and tender from overplaying, we'd use Mentholatum. The menthol seemed to releive the pain but still allow enough sensitivity to play. Carmex was the preferred preventative.
