Lip Care is Skincare Too! 💕 $8 Dupe
Mallory
Lip care is definitely an important part of any skincare routine! For the longest time I was a big fan of the Fresh Lip Treatments but they were very expensive! One day I found the Physicans Formula Lip Treatment and noticed it felt very very similar to the Fresh one! Then magically it disappeared off the market for a few years and now it’s finally back!

Disappointed: Not a Dupe for Fresh Sugar
Read on here that this was a great dupe for the Fresh Sugar tinted lip balms and it is not even close!
The formula is oily and not as creamy and the tint doesn’t look great on my lips at all (settles weird).
I won’t buy this product again, just splurge on a Fresh Sugar one. They’re worth it!
PHYSICIANS FORMULA - Organic Wear Lip Treatment

Body + Lip Products for the Winter
Since it’s been getting colder, my skin has been craving a lot more moisture. Here’s what I’ve been trying recently, with my honest reviews. I am unemployed because of COVID, so price is something I’m very conscious of. I’m only repeat-buying products that work and are worth the price!
JOSIE MARAN - Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter Vanilla Apricot
This is my must-have in the winter for dry skin. It’s extremely hydrating, a little goes a long way, the pot lasts forever, and it’s one of my all time favorite scents. I received this as a gift last year but liked it so much that I’ve continued to buy it ever since! Josie Maran is expensive, so I might recommend adding this product to a Christmas wish list for the first try if you’re curious and on a budget.
philosophy - Fresh Cream Body Lotion
I love this for every day use. The scent is very warm, which I love for winter, and lingers for most of the day but isn’t overpowering! Not cheap but affordable, and it hits all the marks for a great lotion.
Nécessaire - The Body Lotion
A new purchase which I bought because of the vitamins it contains, and, honestly, all the hype surrounding it. It’s unscented, the consistency is GREAT, and it absorbs well. But although it’s around the same price as philosophy lotions, the fact that it’s unscented makes me want to reach for tried-and-true, cheaper lotions from brands like CeraVe. The ingredients so far have not caused any noticeable changes in my skin so I probably won’t buy this for myself again even though I love how smoothly it goes on.
BURT’S BEES - Almond & Milk Hand Cream
A great drugstore buy that WORKS. It’s slightly more heavy duty than my other hand creams and melts into the skin well. Plus I love the scent, it reminds me of marzipan/almond paste.
fresh - Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Treatment
First of all, this chapstick is super expensive. I’m so scared of losing it that it never leaves my house. But with that being said, it really is an amazing chapstick. If I use this once in the morning and once at night, I don’t really need to think about my lips for the rest of the day.
Awake - Lip Therapy Lip Mask
I received this as a sample and it’s....it’s really good, okay. This is the product that got me into lip masks. It works and it smells great. Even after trying other brands, this one’s still my favorite. And it’s a couple dollars cheaper than other lip masks on the market!

💄give me some BALM 💋
💄 This Sephora Favorites lip balm set is a *kisses fingers* set of perfection! Because of COVID, I’ve been wearing a mask all the time and there’s no point to lip color when no one can see it. And all that humidity makes my lips chapped. This set came to the rescue.
💋 For $29, you get five lip balms ($89 value), TWO of which are full size! It includes
🌸 Full Size tarte - SEA Quench Lip Rescue Balm
$19. A beautifully tinted and shiny lip balm that hydrates and makes my lips soft and shiny. I love this balm and the clean brand Tarte, which uses vegan ingredients and doesn’t do animal testing. It doesn’t have a scent and the color is so natural.
💋 Full Size PAT McGRATH LABS - Lip Fetish Balm
$36. A sheer and hydrating lip balm that I would never pay $36 for normally, but am happy to have. The packaging is so cute and with nice ingredients like shea butter and vitamin E, my lips feel so smooth.
👄 Lil fresh - Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Treatment
$13. From acclaimed lip therapy brand Fresh, this delicious smelling lip treatment containes beeswax, jojoba oil, and olive oil to smooth out lips and heal any cracks.
🌸 Lil Too Faced - Peaches & Cream Lip Balm
$6. Smells like peaches and cream with a sheer pink tint for a natural look! It’s super little and fits right into my purse.
💄Lil Jouer - Essential Lip Enhancer Balm
$8. Jojoba oil, beeswax, vitamin E, and shea butter in a clear lip treatment with a touch of pink that smells deliciously like roses.

fresh - Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Treatment
I want to preface that I’ve tried many different brands of lip products including EOS, Burt Bees, Soft Lips, Carmex, Agave - the list is quite long because I’ve struggled to find a lip treatment that I was ride or die for. most of them were alright but nothing blew me away. however, when I heard that this lip product was one of Meghan Markle’s beauty staples, I decided to give it a shot
this lip balm supposedly hydrates for 24 hours and smooths the look of wrinkles for visibly fuller lips
it quickly became a favorite for these reasons:
+ it doesn’t leave a sticky or tacky residue
+ it hydrates without leaving a thick layer on the lips
+ lightweight, but moisturizing formula / consistency - whenever I apply this at night, I wake up with softer lips
however I’m not sure I can say that I have less wrinkly lips 🤨 also if you choose to pick up the sheer pink version, you’re not getting a great color payoff. because of all these reasons, I’m knocking one star. but I do have the translucent version of this and I love that one so between the two versions, I think the translucent version is better!
overall, I still love this product & would repurchase it - it just hurts my wallet a little every time I put down $26 for this 0.15 oz product 🥵

PHYSICIANS FORMULA - Organic Wear Lip Treatment
PHYSICIANS FORMULA-Organic Wear Lip Treatment
This Lip Fuel from kosas cosmetics is an absolute game changer for me. I have the dullest colored lips so always need a little color but I hate constantly applying lipstick and lip gloss. I've been on a lifelong hunt for a lip balm that adds color but is also super hydrating - burts bees, BCD, chapstick, I've tried them ALL but nothing comes close to this!! It's staying power is great as well.
🖤
Their hyaluronic lip balm is not only super hydrating, but the konjac root's gel-like texture forms a barrier between your lips and the environment. Their marketing message for this line is not *just* a lip balm, but one that ties in sport, drive, perseverance, selfcare, and love all together. I love this idea that a *beauty* product can give you daily motivation to get energized and rise up. Maybe it's just in my head, but just like wearing an outfit I like, giving my lips a little color really puts me in the right mindset.
Kosas-Port LipFuel Hyaluronic Lip Balm
Kosas Sport tinted lip balm
Kosas - Port LipFuel Hyaluronic Lip Balm
Pictured is the Kosas sport tinted lip balm in the shade Rush, a sheer cool pink color. This is marketed as an ultra hydrating lip balm, boasting konjac root to seal in active nourishment, Hyaluronic Acid, lip-smoothing vitamin E, and wild mint to soothe. This product is great for anyone who wants some color on the lips but doesn’t want the heavy feel of a lipstick or the drying effect of a liquid lippie. The ingredients in this balm make it especially perfect for cold winter months when you’re prone to chapped split lips. It glides smoothly onto the lips and the color payoff is really nice, you don’t need to apply many layers to get a decent tint going.
I think the packaging is really cute but there’s just something about it that finds me wishing the tube were circular. It just feels like I have to be a little more careful applying with a tube of this shape. I’ve used this a handful of times in the past couple weeks and I’ve enjoyed it. It’s nice for days when I don’t have time for makeup but want to look more out together. My lips definitely feel hydrated after using and it doesn’t feel waxy or sticky like a lot of balms do. It is $18 a tube, so it is pretty costly, but Kosas is also considered a “clean” beauty brand (no sulfates, parabens, phthalates, etc.) so it all comes down to what’s more important to you as a consumer. I do recommend it, but I think if I buy another I would wait to get it on sale.
Kosas-Port LipFuel Hyaluronic Lip Balm
LITERALLY THE BEST LIP BALM I’VE EVER TRIED
GLOW RECIPE - Watermelon Glow Lip Pop
I love this lip balm so much because it’s a 3-in-1 scrub to balm that treats, hydrates and leaves a tint.
KEY INGREDIENTS:
Watermelon Extract
full of vitamins, hydrates and soothes lips
Coconut Flower Sugar
provides gentle physical exfoliation to remove dead skin, while the coconut oil moisturizes
Plant-Derived AHAs
extracts derived from Hibiscus, Wild Pansy, and Hawthorn to soothe, smooth and hydrate
FINAL REVIEW:
Although it’s marketed as so many products in one, I use it like I would any other lip balm. It smells so yummy, keeps my lips feeling smooth and leaves a beautiful glossy finish on my lips and light pink tint. This balm actually keeps the dryness away and lasts really well!
It’s not a cheap lip balm but it definitely is worth the price tag!
GLOW RECIPE-Watermelon Glow Lip Pop
Overhyped lip mask?
The LANEIGE - LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask is a very famous product on social media & people can’t stop talking about this but... is this really worth it?
This claims to moisturize & smooth the lips overnight & it’s recommend to battle dryness & fine lines.
Now, I had chapsted lips for yearsssss & nothing was hydrating enough to heal them till I tried this! I stared with a sample size of their vanilla flavor (my fav) & used overnight. After a week my lips were so much better! So smooth & soft! I was surprised of how fast this mask worked on my lips.
The full jar for $20 is a great value in terms of quantity of the product inside for me. The sample has lasted me a long time & as you can see the sizes are very different.
The one thing I don’t like about this is how thick this is. Believe me, you only need a tiny amount for your lips & it’s more comfortable to use this overnight as well, because of how thick this actually is.
I do recommend this product is you’re having chapsted lips issues, it works!
