The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 21 July 2020 4 Comments

From TonyMoly's new Minions collection, Strawberry Banana Lip Balm. "Don't be fooled by the cute packaging! This limited edition deliciously scented lip balm smells like a freshly blended strawberry banana smoothie while providing nutrition and deep moisture to treat dry and fatigued lips. Adorably pocket-sized, this balm features an exclusive Minions charm and key chain..." $12, and the matching hand milk is $10 for 45 ml.
