Blistex Medicated Lip Ointment By Shiangsta on Oct 25, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Try and imagine this. You have a big date coming up. It's the girl/guy of you DREAMS. For the fellas, you've already called the fanciest restaurant you know, and booked the most romantic chariot ride thta 200 dollars can buy. For the ladies you've had your hair straightened, then curled, and straightened again because you just couldn't make up your mind! You've put on that favorite red dress of yours which makes you look 10 years younger, 10 pounds lighter and just look damn right like a 10. Then suddenly, as you go to take a sip of watever before you leave the door, you feel a tiny stinging sensation coming from the edge of your lip. The familiar feeling that you just can't quite put your finger on, so what do you do? you give the spot a casual lick - saliva heals everything. That's when you realize it's your biggest nightmare, it's worse than a pimple, it's a cold sore. It's the one thing that will not only ruin your date, but ruin that romantic first kiss on the first date that you've been yearning for. You will give anything to get rid of it! Well, I just thought you should know. You do not have to give much :).

Have no fear, Blistex is here. Stop the cold sore before it even starts! It's a 5 dollar tube of medication that you simply place over the area of irritation and let it perform it's own magic. It comes in various minty flavors and makes you feel better immediately. The squeezable bottle may look small but it defnitely lasts you a LONG time (if you manage not to lose it that is). You do not even have to put a lot on, just a tiny drop should help. It also works even if the coldsore has started to enlarge. However, because it's no surgeon, it will only increase the healing process once the sore has developed. Still, if you can catch it early enough, you will save yourself the embarassment of looking like you have been kissing strangers and most importantly, it opens up the option of realizing that fantasy first kiss that you've always wanted... of course it'll only get you so far, the rest u'll have to earn on your own. You can't expect that much from a tube of medicine, but you can be sure that it will help you get rid of that annoying cold sore.
