About those overpriced Louis Vuitton lip balms. I bought one.
On my trip to New York, I wandered through the Louis Vuitton store. This was my chance to finally try that obviously overpriced makeup. I gravitated to the lip balms, the LV Baumes. I swatched every shade except for clear. I found they were way more pigmented than I was expecting and may more satisfyingly…

I guess this is a meta-review of the Bioderma lip balm
I was in a pinch. I had traveled all the way to Austin and forgotten to pack a lip bam. I went into the drug store, scanning the aisles for something new to try. Then, I saw it. How about the Bioderma Atoderm restorative lip balm? I bought the tube and added it to my…

The winter lip balm mistake you can avoid
New year, new me. To demonstrate my dedication to getting fit, I started going on on walks now in the dead of winter. So of course, I wanted to hydrate my lips. Mistake. As the cold air hit my face, I could feel my super glossy lips starting to stick together. I could see the…

My lip product hunt continues: Farmacy Lip Smoothie
As a member of the semi-perpetually dry lip union, I am constantly on the hunt for products that keep my lips juicy and plumped (without having to evaluate my hydration habits). Now, I’ve been using the Honey Vanilla Lip Smoothie from Farmacy for long enough to give my personal review. It’s called a lip smoothie,…

I had heard of plumping glosses before. Between the idea of walking around with lips that looked inflated and that hurt, I decided they weren’t for me.

I’m glad I tried this lip oil from Merit
On a day I had decided I would wear a little makeup, I realized I had nothing on my lips. So I went to my stash and remembered I had a brand new Merit Shade Slick still unused. I cracked it open and swiped it on. Whereas the Dior lip oil doesn’t feel true to…

The Dior Lip Oil is genuinely good
Sigh, I hate when products go viral. Mostly because, I have this thing about not wanting to appear to be just going with the crowd. But I have to admit, the Dior Lip Oil is popular for a reason. As someone who is perpetually on the hunt for products for my perpetually dry lips, I…

The Biossance lip balm.
In my quest to find the best lip balm for me, I turned to the Biossance Squalane + Rose Vegan Lip Balm.. My thought, “Meh. Not as moisturizing as I thought it would be.” The product is thick and waxy. I wouldn’t describe it as a lip gloss at all. Perhaps it would work best…

Have you tried the Cay Skin lip balm yet?
One of my new hobbies is trying to find the best lip balms for my way too often dry lips. On one such trip to Sephora, I was studying the options, scrutinizing labels and consistencies. I was ready when the Beauty Advisor came by and asked me what I was hoping to find: I need…
