The Best Lip Gloss is a Lip Balm

With summer quickly approaching, it’s time to think about lip gloss.
You knew that, right?
OK – quick lesson. Lip balm or lip gloss is perfect for summer makeup looks because it’s light and mainly sheer with just a hint of shine. Full color lipstick is usually too heavy of a look for summer.
Lesson over.
If you’re like me – and most women – the bottom of your purse and cosmetic bags are littered with lip glosses you’ve tried and half used tubes of lip balm. And that’s OK.
A girl can never have too much lip gloss, after all. And because it won’t last all day, most women like to keep a tube of lip gloss close by at all times.
The problem with most lip glosses is that the stuff that makes it shiny can also make your lips sticky and dry. In fact, that’s why a lot of women go the lip balm (a fancy word for chapstick) route – because their lips need the moisturizing and they can’t stand the dry feeling of lip glosses and lipsticks.
I have found the perfect solution in the form of the world’s greatest (and my new favorite) lip balm.
