What Happens in Kiehl’s, Stays in Kiehl’s

I’m back with another lip balm rave. What again? Yes, again. If there is anything you need to know about me is that I am all about the lip balm and hand lotion. Seriously, it borders on the obsessive compulsive. I literally go nowhere without these two items. The feeling of dry lips or hands is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. It’s enough to rouse me out of a sound sleep at least once a night. My husband once told me that he knew he was in love with me when I had left my lip balm and lotion next to his bed. It was like a part of me left behind. Umm, I mean on the porch, I left them next to the porch swing. We would hold hands and read poetry. Yeah, that’s exactly how it happened.

My devotion to Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1 is fanatical. If I were stranded on a dessert island and I could only have two lip balms, this would be one of them. Of course I would be stashing a third in my shoe. There’s no way I could survive with just two. At this moment my purse holds five. It is luxurious, silky and smooth. The last thing I do at night is apply lotion to my hands and feet and a coat of this. It is just so moisturizing and “dare I say succulent”. For the total experience, brush your lips with a toothbrush to exfoliate then apply lip balm #1. Let it soak in for about 20 minutes, then apply lipstick as usual. It just smooths everything out and make your lips look plump and moist. Or most days I just put this on and some mascara. It just picks up the natural pigment in your lips in the most flattering way. I also have the slightly tinted lip balm that is great for a little more color. Still not lipstick or overdone.  They are not tested on animals and have mostly natural ingredients. That’s pretty much all I can say for this product’s “green” pedigree. Not terrible but not purely organic, non-synthetic either. Everyone has a little gray area where their personal standards become murky. This is mine. Lip balm #1, you complete me.
