Lipstick Challenge Day 19: Paw Paw

Suvana Organic Certified Organic Paw Paw & Honey Balm, $14.00

I’ve been mildly aware of Paw Paw as a thing generally and as ingredient a lip balm, what have you for a while. But it never really caught my attention, that was until it became winter, and I moved to a colder locale and my use of lip balm skyrocketed.   Continue reading

For this post, I thought I would round up previous posts about lip balm and lip treatments that I reviewed before the Lipstick Challenge began. These products are so great, that I would hate for them not to be included.  Enjoy!  Continue reading

Lipstick Queen Tinted Treatment in Medieval $20.00

First, I have a super girl crush on Poppy King. I just started her book,  Lessons of a Lipstick Queen, and so far I love it. As a person who has loved and adored lip products more than the average person or Beauty Editor, I can totally relate to Poppy King. Anyway. This is my second time purchasing Medieval, I am really in love with this lip product. It is basically the most perfect tinted balm. Continue reading

Lipstick Challenge Day 12: Lip Moisturizer

malin+goetz

Malin + Goetz Lip Moisturizer $12.00

This stuff by Malin + Goetz is a lip balm, obviously. Its clear, has no taste, no fragrance and is pretty basic right down to its label (which I love). But what gets me about this and gets me to pull this out to show my lip balm enthusiast friends, is the consistency. Folks, wait- its a gel. A gel! Its so cool really, so space age-y.

Lipstick Challenge Day 11: Cheap Thrills

Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm $7.00 in Rose, Tiger Lily and  Hibiscus

I love a good cheap thrill, and these are rather awesome. I hate the original Burt’s Bees lip balm. When people love it, I just know they need to have their eyes open to other greater lip balms that are out there.  I think the Burt’s Bees original is overly waxy and for me it leaves white ring around my mouth if I am not careful. So when I picked up these guys, I was hesitant. Continue reading

Lipstick Challenge Day 6: Keepin’ it Fresh

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15 in Passion & Rose $ 22.50

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatments are pretty rad. The consistency is spot on- somewhere between thick like frosting and smooth like butter. Moisturizing and providing a nice level of SPF. But these colors, Oh these colors, don’t get me started. Continue reading

The Lip Slip by Sara Happ

$24.00

Its getting colder and I am starting to wear gloves. Therefore, I need a luxe lip balm to apply at home that is going to last until I get to my destination so I don’t have to take off my gloves to apply more when I am on the go.

This is that balm. Continue reading

Sprout Lip Balm in Cinnamon

$5.00

More info HERE

Any reader of this blog knows how much I love lip balm. I have not counted my stash of lip products recently, that could be another post, but I know that its at least 100. Nevertheless, when it comes to most lip balms I have not that much to say, they are balms, they are okay. But sometimes I come across a balm that I cannot stop applying. Sprout lip balm did not start out that way. Continue reading
