Rummage through anyone's beauty stash and there's one lip balm that you're bound to come across: Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm ($3). This tiny, always-reliable tube is a true classic, and Allure discovered that it's sold once every single second. That equates to over 30 million lip balms a year!

Like many of the brand's products, this balm is made with real beeswax, a natural moisturiser that soothes, protects, and heals even the driest of lips. That formula is also infused with fruit and herbal extracts. You can reach for the classic, nonflavoured balm, or try it in grapefruit, pomegranate, honey, citrus, vanilla, or cherry. Honestly, this is one of those situations where you might as well collect them all and keep one within hand's reach at all times — at your desk, in your purse, and on your nightstand.

It all just goes to show that sometimes the tried-and-true, wallet-friendly option that everyone swears by is the way to go.
