MBFW Survival Pack: Aesop Tuberose Lip Heal & Rosehip Seed Lip Cream
I could make a series of stupid jokes about air kissing causing irreparable lip damage, but that’s cheap and easy and besides, I’m 99% certain that Twitter has driven that joke into the ground already.

Maybelline New York – Baby Lips SPF20 lip balm
Ok, ok, so I know I’m a little late with this tube of Maybelline Baby Lips SPF20 lip balm. In my defence when I swung by my local Priceline last week they had nothing but this NYFW-liveried limited edition version of Baby Lips and none of the usual tubes available. I’m sorry! From what I ...

The Hunt for Red October – Clinique Chubby Stick in Chunky Cherry
Will you forgive me if I repeat myself a little vis a vis Clinique’s Chubby Stick in Chunky Cherry? I did, after all, devote a few words to Whole Lotta Honey a few months ago and my opinion of texture, application and what have you hasn’t changed since April. START LAZY CONTENT RECYCLING Chubby Sticks ...

Sukin – Nourishing Lip Treatment
Meet my little lip life saver. For the last week and a bit I’ve been babying the mother of all cracks in the corner of my lip. Oh me, oh my, what a (literal) pain that was – every mouthful of food was highlighted by a pinprick of pain, each enthusiastic laugh given a little ...
