Current Obsession: Fresh Sugar Rose Lip Treatment

fresh sugar rose lip treatment

As a lip-balm loving girl, I can’t seem to get enough of the new Fresh Sugar Rosé Lip Treatment.

It has all the same amazing qualities as the cult-favorite Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment (ultra-moisturizing butters, SPF 15, incredibly yummy smell…) but this version has a hint of color!

Not just any ol’ color, mind you. Sugar Rosé is a sexy, barely-there, just-bitten shade—the kind that looks great on everyone.

If you’re like me, you’ll be reapplying this all day, every day.

Fresh Sugar Rosé Lip Treatment is available online at Fresh.com for $22.50.

Tender are the tones

MAC Tendertones

Of all the hot collections hitting MAC counters this summer, we’re most excited about Tendertones .

We fell in love with this lip balm posing as lip gloss in May 2007 when it first launched. With four popular shades brought back (Deep Sigh, Hush Hush, Take a Hint and Pucker ) and six brand new ones, how is a girl to choose? We want them all.

Tendertones are super moisturizing with a delicate strawberry-kiwi flavor. Keep one on your desk and see how fast it disappears (you’ll be applying and re-applying ALL. DAY. LONG.).

  • Tread Gently Soft lime green with yellow pearl
  • E-Z Baby Sheer milky pink
  • Honey Bare Rosy blue pink with white and gold pearl
  • Hot n’ Saucy Soft cherry red
  • Sweet & Nice Sheer red grape with red pearl
  • Take A Hint Sheer peach with white pearl
  • Hush, Hush Sheer gold with yellow gold pearl
  • Sweet Tooth Sheer coral with white pearl
  • Pucker Sheer berry with red pearl
  • Deep Sigh Sheer grape brown with red pearl

Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1—Flavored!

We use Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1 every night before bed.

It’s kind of like an addiction—we can’t go to sleep without it. Once, on a business trip, we forgot our beloved Kiehl’s at home and experienced a night full of cold sweats and dreadful visions of waking up with chapped, cracked lips. Thankfully that never happened, but now we take extra care to ensure that it never does—it’s one of the first things we pack when getting ready for a trip.

Now our best-loved balm is available in flavors! Our favorite is Pear, but it’s also available in Mint and Cranberry. Yum!

Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1icon flavored lip balm is $8.50 for a 0.5 oz tube.

In the meantime, have you seen the new creamy lipcolor by Bourjois?
