Power-Full Plump Lip Balm: I totally love a good balm, I'm just not sure this is it. The packaging is fun. Again, if your swiping once an hour, it's fine, but it builds and it builds fast! It turns a hot pink on my lips, which I'm not too crazy about, and doesn't offer much in line with plumping ( if you want that, I'd recommend Two Faced Lip Injection).

Olio E Osso Lip and Cheek Balm no.5: A fancy clean lip balm I've had for years ( and I think balms are my fav over lipstick and gloss and stain). These balms come in a variety of colors, and this one is called Currant because it's subtle, which is a good thing, because it can also go on your cheeks! This is a nice addition for anyone who isn't into wearing a lot of makeup, and doesn't want to be wasteful. This stick doesn't have the gloss and shimmer of Nars' The Multiple, making it a good find for someone who wants some color, but none of the glam ( well, depending on how much you layer, and this color does layer well). I got this to use as a lip balm since the color doesn't look great on my cheeks, but that's just me. 

Smashbox Always On Lipstick in Bawse: Smashbox makes such wonderful lip colors, and I really enjoy their reds. I don't wear red a lot-maybe 5 times a year-but it's always fun. 

Bare Minerals Gen Nude Lip Laquer in Perf: Love the Gen Nude line from Bare Minerals. Tip: If you want to create the lip liner look without using lipliner, you can apply this and then blot the center. It's super smoothing and also works as a nice lip mask because it helps with chapped lips ( unexpectedly!)

Bare Minerals Gen Nude Lip Laquer in Girl Boss. Again, love this line and the colors. The formula is so smooth and doesn't streak at all. I also loved the color " Yasss," which is like a more true beige versus this pink. I've tried a lot of lip products and keep coming back to this one. I will say, a little goes a long way. Too much and it can become a bit tacky ( in terms of consistency). 

Bare Minerals Gen Nude Lip Laquer in Bae: See the other two Gen Nude lippies for a review, but just wanted to include this lovely Fall color, a perfect pumpkin. 

First Aid Ultra Repair Lip Therapy: Affordable and totally gets the job done. I prefer this as a lip mask... it's a bit " grainy" for me as a lip balm. It makes the lips super smooth and is a winner!

Laniege Lip Glowy Balm: A nicely packaged typical lip balm that smells great and goes on smooth. 

Happy Holidays! My kid wanted some chapstick, and we stumbled across this sweet option online. I like how I also bought chapstick from this brand growing up! It's a nice vanilla flavor. Also comes in other animal shapes...like a unicorn!
