You guys. I have found the most perfect lip balm, ever. And it is made by the most unassuming of brands: Jack Black. It's actually a brand that's targeted towards men ("the grooming label for the guy's guy"), and it's a brand that I never really looked twice at, 'cause it always reminded me of... Jack Black. And, you know, it's for dudes. But I digress, because their Intense Therapy Lip Balm will render all other lip balms and lip scrubs and any other lip smoothing product or device completely redundant. I've been using the lip balm for about a week now, and I only use it twice a day: once in the morning, and once before I go to sleep. And I have not worried about chapped lips or flaking skin or anything since.
I bought it in two flavours: Natural Mint and Lemon & Chamomile. And they are both fabulous. The mint one, as you can imagine, smells and tastes like mint, which I like more for day-time use because it makes your breath seem fresher and your lips slightly plumper. The lemon one, however, smells and tastes just like a lemon cupcake, which just makes it over-the-top awesome. And you can get yourself a tube of this ridiculous awesomeness for just $8.50 a tube at Sephora. You really have no reason not to try it. You won't even bother looking at another lip balm. For serious.
I totally wanted that before! Is it really awesome? I'll ask my sister to get it for me when she goes to Singapore!
ReplyDeleteYessss, tell your sister to get you like, eight tubes. It's AMAZING.
ReplyDeleteLOL at your response to Irene. But you've convinced me! I'm going to pick some up at Sephora, too!
ReplyDeleteBTW got most of your Illamasqua stuff. Alcone had NOTHING, sorry. :( But the girl said there's another store that might have more OCC stuff so I'm going to see if I can check it out for you.
Haha, Sydney -- buy TONS OF IT. It's $1 cheaper in the States, too! :D
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you so much for grabbing my stuff! I'd really appreciate if you could check out the other store for the OCC stuff, but no worries if you can't. :)
I was gonna put in your MAC order today, but the online store is out of Studio Fix Powder in NC40. :( I can wait until it's back in stock, or I can just order the rest of the stuff for you... But I have an extra brand-new NC40 at home, if you want it (it's too dark for me!). I can give it to you when we see each other next, or I can mail it to you. But I figure we're gonna have to do a goody exchange soon. ;) LET ME KNOW! Have fun in NYC!
You're welcome! If you could order the other stuff sans the missing item, that would be great. If you don't want the NC40 I'll be glad to take it off your hands (I can pay you for it).
ReplyDeleteThe name of other place is Michaelangelo's Wonderland or something like that, on 13th St. Hopefully they have SOMETHING in stock!
I bought these months ago thanks to Temptalia's rave reviews and now I use it EVERY night before bed. Best lip balm ever. And you're right, I have not looked at another lip balm since.
ReplyDeleteHi, Kahyen! What kills me is that I've spent triple the price on lip balms that didn't do the job as well (like the one by Fresh, which costs $25 a tube!). I'm totally going to snatch up some of the other scents. I'm interested in the Vanilla & Lavender and the Grapefruit & Ginger. :)
ReplyDeleteI think I bought the Fresh one based on your review. I still like it! Love the fresh lemon scent. And it's prettier to pull out of your purse to apply.
ReplyDeleteI love the one by Fresh, don't get me wrong, it's just not worth $25, especially now that I've found these ones, lol.
