Strip Those Lips!

Written by Danielle

Is it me, or is it impossible to apply lip balm any less than one hundred times in a day during the winter? My lips suffer from eternal dryness, and it seems as though there are some days that not a single treatment will suffice in getting rid of that cracked, chapped feeling. So while testing some lipstick at Sephora one day, the make-up artist helping me suggested I use Laura Geller’s Lip Strip to buff away the dead skin on my lips, making for a smooth lipstick application. I was skeptical, of course, having been defeated in my pursuit of a quick fix to this persistent problem. To my pleasant surprise, this cooling lip scrub not only did the trick, but it tasted and smelled deliciously (its ingredient list includes Brazilian organic sugar, Peppermint and Spearmint Oils)!

I’ve integrated Lip Strip into my daily beauty routine by using it every morning, and I have gabbed incessantly to my friends about how it’s my must-have of 2009. You can pick it up at any Sephora or at Laura Geller’s website for just $18, a total steal for a staple that has lasted me for a few months already! Try it out ASAP – you can thank me later.

  • If you gently buff away with your toothbrush (the keyword is gently!) you can get ultra smooth lips. Don’t forget to use an spf on top though.
