Abib Protective Lip Balm Block Stick SPF15 Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Stylevana. I hope that most of my readers already know about the importance of SPF for the skin. A quick recap - sunscreen protects against skin cancer, premature aging, and even helps the pores look their best. I’ve been using SPF daily for decades, even before it was mainstream, because I’m so fair and burn very quickly. However, one area is typically neglected - the lips! A few years ago I had a huge panic moment when

Rohto Mentholatum Lip Fondue Review

This post contains affiliate links. I think I’m in love with Rohto Mentholatum lip products. Everything I’ve tried has been AMAZING!

I chose Rohto Mentholatum Lip Fondue, available on YesStyle (reward code KBHOBBIT), Amazon, and Stylevana (code INF10KBH). This is a nourishing lip balm with jojoba seed oil, honey, and royal jelly for soft, smooth, glossy lips. The fragrance free

The History of Whoo Luxury Lip Rouge Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Jolse. When I was little, my mom had only two lipsticks. One didn’t have a brand name on it at all (it probably rubbed off), and the other was a cheap Kiki brand (if it was even real, could have been a knock off). Our lives are totally different now, living in the USA and actually getting paid fairly for our work, so it’s time to upgrade our makeup too. I decided to try a more luxury lip product this time, and got one fo

Sioris More Than Lip Balm Review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by BeMused Korea. I’ve been looking for a good lip balm ever since my DHC lip cream ran out. I had the one by Whamisa on hand, but it’s better suited for hammering nails into the wall (review here). The Sioris More Than Lip Balm came just in time! It’s available on BeMused Korea (save 15% on any regular priced items with code KBH15), YesStyle (reward code KBHOBBIT) and Stylevana (code INF10KBH). The balm is made with 12 org

Whamisa Organic Seeds Lip Moisture Review

This post contains affiliate links. Whamisa Organic Seeds Lip Moisture advertises itself as a nourishing lip balm made with nourishing vegan waxes, oils, and butters. I’m giggling as I type this… keep reading. It’s available on Amazon and YesStyle (reward code KBHOBBIT). This product is vegan and cruelty free. That’s all I got for “pros”... My impressions Why is this called lip “moisture”? Is it a practical joke? There’s nothing moisturizing about this balm. I struggle even c

Rohto Mentholatum Melty Cream Lip Balm SPF25/PA+++ - Matcha Green Tea Review

This post contains affiliate links. I’ve taken my SPF game to a new level this year, expanding my efforts from topical creams to UPF clothing. Lips also need protection, but facial SPF is typically not ideal for that task. Thankfully, the world of Asian skincare has some lovely lip specific formulas. One of my favorites has been the Japanese Rohto Mentholatum Melty Cream Lip. It’s available on YesStyle (use reward code KBHOBBIT for a discount) and Stylevana (save with discoun

Rohto Mentholatum Water Lip Balm SPF Review

This post contains affiliate links I’m an avid SPF user - I apply it daily, usually multiple times a day. I wear UPF (sun protective) clothing like driving gloves and sleeves, and put on a hat before watering the garden or going for a walk. If you are interested in a list of sunscreen favorites, arranged by filter and skin types, look here (must be a member of my private Facebook group to view).

Klavuu Nourishing Lip Sleeping Pack review

This post contains affiliate links. Product provided by Oshen Skin. Even though I am an avid fan of skincare, there are certain areas I tend to neglect - hands, body, and lips all fall into that category. I’ve been trying to do better, especially since mask mandates are lifting and I can finally wear lipstick again! I was never much into lip makeup in the first place, until I couldn’t really wear it for a year. Now I’m all about it. I’ve been using Klavuu Nourishing Lip Sleep

Brillie 3 Step Lip System Review

Most days, I feel like a skincare dragon - I have so many wonderful things that I could pile them up and sleep on them like dragons sleep on their treasures. But there are only so many facial skincare products one can comfortably use, so I was beyond excited when by Sophie beauty box sent me lip care. Now that is something I can absolutely use! My lips are dry, chap easily, and can even split at times. Brillie 3 Step Lip System contains three products meant to keep lips in to

La Muse Deep Color Lip Balm Review

This year has been challenging for so many people. I’ve been finding small pockets of joy in seemingly insignificant things - a hot cup of tea, a good book, pretty lip colors (even if it’s just at home). One of the recent By Sophie beauty boxes included three La Muse Deep Color Lip balms. Watch the unboxing / swatches here. These are sold on* YesStyle (use a rewards code KBHOBBIT for an extra discount), Amazon, and eBay. I have three colors - Petal, Lusty, and Bud. These lip

MISSHA Essential Lip Oil Review - Berry

Last week, the temperature outside was -15 F (- 26 C), and with windchill it was “feels like -40C”. I’m personally not a stranger to this type of weather (having grown up in Russia and all), but most people around here were shocked. Schools closed, businesses had a late start, the roads were empty. Unfortunately, the skin takes a real beating with not just the cold, but also the dry heated indoor air. And one of my most problematic areas when it comes to dryness are my lips.

Korean Beauty for a Young Princess

I have a little princess at home, who’s 4.5 years old and needs to have everything just like mom. She’s been asking for lipstick since she was 3, even before she could completely pronounce the word “lipstick”. And she regularly borrows my beauty blenders, brushes, powder puffs and so on - anything she can reach, really. One time she gave herself a peanut butter “face mask” while I dared to use the restroom alone - never a dull moment. So last Christmas season my dad asked wha

Aritaum Ginger Sugar Lip Scrub Review

In the last six months or so I’ve been more into decorative lip products (some studies show that people pay more attention to what you say if your lips are painted, and I need people to pay attention haha) and it’s incredibly important to have a good base for lip makeup in the form of healthy, hydrated lips. I’ve written about hydration before (loving this lip oil and this lip mask), but what about exfoliation? I decided to try the Aritaum Ginger Sugar Lip Scrub. It’s availab

Laneige Special Care Lip Sleeping Mask Review

I have struggled with dry lips for as long as I can remember. I’ve made my own lip balm (pretty good, but I would really rather not spend my limited free time melting coconut oil and wax together and then using a dropper to get that into tiny plastic tubes until my hands cramp) and tried many store bought versions. The world of Korean skincare has brought numerous lip products into my life and I couldn’t be happier. Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask is well known in the skincare enth
