Fresh Sugar Lip Balm

For many years, my lip care collection consisted solely of drugstore Carmex, Chapsticks and the occasional Bonne Bell Lip Smacker; I could never have imagined paying over $20 for a lip balm. But I’ve learned that sometimes when a really fabulous product comes along, a splurge is completely justified, and Fresh Sugar Lip Balm is one such product.

The quality is absolutely superb. It has a fabulous soft, waxy texture…
