Hello Lovelies, When Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics came out with their Lip Tar, I was SO excited. Upon trying them… I was disappointed because they left my (already dry) lips feeling and looking super duper dry. To make matters worse, the Lip Tars have such great staining and staying power, I couldn’t get them off! I… [Read more…]

Have you heard? Maybelline launched a lipstick called Color Whisper for Spring 2013! I picked up 2 colors (Mocha Muse & Made It Mauve) and they instantly reminded me of Revlon’s Lip Butter (review here). Whisper (in my opinion) is a hybrid: mostly lightweight lipstick and part balm. The Color Whisper line comes in 20… [Read more…]

Contrary to common belief, lip balm is not the best way to combat dry chapped lips. Exfoliation is the 1st (and critical) step in fighting chapped lips! Exfoliating your lips twice a week will help rid of dead skin cells leaving lips soft and smooth, which allows moisture (aka lip balms) to penetrate your lips!… [Read more…]

It creates a protective barrier that allows air in with MicroAir technology while keeping contaminants out. My Overall Thoughts: The Abreva… [Read more…]

Waaaaay before Buxom Creams, I’ve been in love with Buxom Lip Polishes. Been using the polishes for years (probably on my 12th bottle, no joke) and now the lip gloss gods have answered my prayers with Buxom Creams. Basically, Buxom Creams is everything wonderful about the Polishes minus the glitter. Don’t get me wrong, I… [Read more…]

I wrote Lip Saver in hopes of finding a solution to my chronically dry lips, or at least to start a discussion of what other people have experienced. Never did I think it would lead me to Boob Cream.

For most of my life, I’ve struggled with irritated, peeling, chapped and severely dry lips (as well as the skin around my lips). In case you’re wondering: I never lick my lips, so that is not the cause. Channeling Lady Gaga when I say: “I was born this way.” My lips are so painfully dry… [Read more…]
