I found this bronzer two years ago and have been using it ever since. With this bronzer you won't get that orangey look with a lot of others I've tried.

If you don't already use this you're missing out! It glides on as a glossy lip then after time it leaves a gorgeous stain to make sure you always have nice color on you lips! I personally love the color Hydra Honey!

Very comparable to the Dior Lip Oil but wayyy more affordable! It feels so good on the lips and in my opinion not sticky like other lip oils I've tried.

This is a newer product to the market and a total game changer! The applicator is so useful and glides on well to the lips. I love the color options they offer! I think this is a competitor for Summer Fridays!
