Default Lipstick for sensitive lips

Hi
I am really wanting to get some nice lippy, but whenever I try any on I get a reaction, and end up with dry bumpy lips.
Are there any ALL or near all natural options out there?
I can use normal foundation powder, eyeshadow, mascara etc, it's just the lipstick.
I watched a programme a while ago which was quite informative and foud out that although alot of health and beuty products say they are natural, they still have chemicals in them, so i'm not really sure where or what to look for.

Take a look at Gale Hayman's Sheer Tint Lift Lip on QVC. It has excellent reviews and the good thing is if its no good - send it back for a full refund

if you lend someone £20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it

Hi aston's mummy
I used to have an ezcema condition on my lips (bizarre!) and had to be really careful with lipstick - I found the only ones that didn't give me a reaction was Almay and Clinique - I haven't had the condition for years but still get really dry lips so have used No7 moisture surge for the past 3 years and that seem to do the trick

What about using some vaseline in the little pots if you just want some shine. The aloe vera one is really good.

I do sometimes use vasaline if my lips get really dry, but i try not to as in the long run it makes my lips dryer iyswim, it's as if it stops my lips naturally moisturising themselves.
I use it when i go out, but i really want some colour, as i've got quite nice luscious lips so wanna enhance them

Thanks guys x
