lip service

Chapped lips are the absolute worst. Not only are they terribly uncomfortable, but they can be really unsightly under your favorite lip color.

Just in time for cooler weather, here are two wonderfully hydrating lip products guaranteed to keep the "ick" out of your lipstick. Go ahead, toss them in that bag!

Smith's Rosebud Salve

C.O. Bigelow's Rosebud Salve has been providing relief since 1895. Not only does this product heal, but it also doubles as a prettty, natural looking gloss. Isn't this old fashioned branding neat?

Kiehl's Lip Balm #1

This classic lip saver has it's critics. "It's just glorified Vaseline!" they say. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Kiehl's simple balm soaks into the lips leaving them mosturized and soft (even Gwyneth agrees). I love smearing a little on right before bedtime.

Now, pucker up!
