I am like addicted to lip smackers lip balm. It's not even because my lips are dry because they hardly are and they are never chapped. I just love the feeling with it on and it gives my lips a nice pretty shine and i can "taste" the scent on my lips which I love. I always have a tube with me and I apply it either once the previous application has gone (can't feel it anymore) or if i have the urge to lick or bite my lips. Is putting lip balm on this frequently bad for you? And are any of you addicts?

I thought I was the only BonneBell addict on here.But,seriously I love all things BonneBell,and I also love most other lipbalms and lipglosses as well.
My parents get kinda tizzed when I ask for more lip balm/gloss,as I already have quite a bit of it.
But,I love the stuff!
Unlike you,though,my lips do sometimes chap,which is why I keep Blistex's Lip Medex around,too.
I don't think this is bad for you at all.It has never hurt me.
It's definitely not bad for you! I put lip balm on every morning and evening before i go to bed - not sticky lip gloss but just nice smelling lip balm. If you use lip balm regularly you will find that you're lips will be softer which feels really nice. :) I have lip smackers lip balm but i prefer the ones from the body shop because there are so many different flavours!
I was on a medicine that caused my lips to become very dry, chapped, and cracked and my dermatologist gave me a chap stick with hydrocortizone in it. It was an $8 dollar tube of chapstick and I was buying one every month. They finally told me I couldn't buy anymore because they were concerned that I was addicted. So the answer to your question, it is very possible to become addicted to chap stick. The problem for me was that it was a chap stick that had medicine in it and it was not good to apply any chap stick more than three times a day as they told me. Also, my dermatologist told me that most chap sticks that you buy in the store contain alcohol which causes your lips to dry. Then you are tempted to put it on again and again because it is drying you lips instead of moisturizing them. If you must have chap stick, look for one that contains NO ALCOHOL. They exist even at places like Walmat. You just have to look for something that says it has better ingredients or even better is less ingredients.. Hope I helped.
No, of course it isn't bad for you unless you end up digesting all of it. And yes it can addict you by the psychological feeling you feel when you experience the ritual of putting it on your lips. Certain brands are said to be more addictive to others, so you might think of switching brands (try Neutrogena or any other unflavored balm) if you'd want to kick the habit.
If youre interested in any lip balm, lip color, eyeliners, or make up in general, you should check out a store called sephora. I think everyone is locally available to one. They have top of the line everything! Though the sad part is they can get a little pricy, but usually are worth the buy.
Yes, i'm addicted to lip balm and flavored lip gloss(:
I constantly apply it. Because it's delicous. Lawl. But yes, it actually can be bad for, same concept as eye drops, if you apply it too often then your lips won't keep themselves hydrated anymore and will be dependent on chapstick for moisture.
yahh somedays ill find myself reapplyilng chapstick all day and rubbing my lips cuz i like the feel of it, so yah somtimes i'm an addict. haa. but i wouldn't think its that bad for you, it might lead to some lip tissue problems that are on ur lips though. so i wouldn't get too addicted to this, maybe focus on something else like chewing gum, and try applying chap stick down to like 5 times a day, because putting it on over and over again, ppl will probably think ur weird, and it seems like a nervous habit.
I'm a COMPLETE addict its cool though lol, nothing happens and you lips will always be lush : )
I am definately an addict, too. It's not bad for you. :) My mom always sigs when she sees me pull it out becasue I put it on constantly.
no it isn't bad for you your just like me im addicted to eye drops every time i feel like there dry or they might be red im there with my eye drops.
