I remember the first time Fresh Sugar Lip Balms came into Sephora, when there were only two colours and my first world problem was deciding when I should just dump $26CAD on one- and I had took that plunge, on multiple shades too (oh spendy, young Whitney…) Over time, I fell out of love with them but their holiday sets always caught my attention; so pretty and not a bad deal considering the cost of one of those! Although I am not a huge user, I know that these balms are the holy grail of many and there are some pretty sweet value sets you can find at Sephora this Christmas; the Nude Lip Lovers Mini Kissing Trio ($33 CAD) and the Sugar Lip Delight ($65CAD.)
2015 Lip Balm Update
Hello all! I’ve been playing too much Hearthstone lately which has slightly caused some procrastination on my blog. One of my first beauty posts on here was a massive breakdown of 10 lip balms and I still get traffic on that 3 year old post with horrible photography. Fast forward to now, I still have just as many lip balms scattered between bags, boxes, and drawers but I want to feature my top favourites that have yet to fail me.
Annabelle Lipsies Lip Balm
The Lipsies Lip Balm from Annabelle Cosmetics may be the next cute and scrumptious companion in your purse. I carry no less than 3 or 4 lip products in my purse, and there’s always a niche for a tinted lip balm.
