So your lips are exfoliated, moisturized, plumped, and primed — it is time for color! Whether you prefer a bright red stain or a nude pink gloss, this is the fun part. In a recent article I read, the author was purporting to need One Lipstick. Personally, that sounds lovely in theory but I am […]
We have now scrubbed and moisturized, but what if we want to take our lip care to the next level? In addition to lip scrubs and lip balms, we can also treat our lips to plumpers and masks and oils and serums and primers. Until recently, I did not even know some of these products […]
