the lip slip

Last week I told you about the new lip scrub i bought from Beauty Mark and mentioned that I really wanted to try Sara Happ's the lip slip.

One of my favourite things about Sara Happ's line is that the packaging is just so precious. I love the little boxes and ribbons. You can't really see it in this photo, but the box is a beautiful metallic pink colour...kind of the same as the Alexander Wang Fabiana.

As for the lip balm itself...it is glorious. It's thick and silky (though a little bit sticky). I don't need to apply it often (it stays on my lips forever!) and it doesn't smell or taste bad. It is extremely hydrating and I don't have that itchy lip balm addict feeling I get from other products (this is apparently due to the use of camphor in other similar products).

So all in all, I'm definitely hooked on Sara Happ.

the lip scrub

Last week at the Beauty Mark holiday media event, I picked up some much needed lip scrub. I had been exfoliating my lips the old fashioned way, with either a facecloth or a combination of sugar and lip balm, with little results. And as a gal who likes to wear bold lipstick, it's super important to have that nice smooth base so that you don't end up with chapped lip chunks in your lipstick (you may not see them, but I know they're there!).

I had been putting off a visit to Sephora to find something and I'm glad I did.

I picked up the lip scrub by sarah happ in creme brûlée from Beauty Mark and I absolutely love it! The granules are just right - big enough to be effective, but not so harsh that they make your lips hurt - and the flavour is yum! Beauty Mark carries a wide array of the available flavours.

Sarah Happ is also the creator of the lip slip - the "perfect" lip balm - and I can't wait to go back to Beauty Mark to pick it up!
