LIPSTICK TRACES
A makeup favorite gets some mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Among the many bathroom mirror rituals, one stands out:
It’s a three-part routine that starts with a layer of lip balm, followed by a coating of colorful lipstick, and then topped off with some SPF gloss.
Sure, it gets good results, but it also takes about three times as long as it should.
Especially considering that there’s now an alternative.
For spring, Rimmel introduces its Moisture Renew lipstick. Think of it as a chapstick on steroids or a lipstick with superpowers—among them, long-lasting color, SPF 18, and a moisturizing formula that instantly smoothes lips.
And unlike your run-of-the-mill balms, the British beauty brand offers up 24 different colors to choose from (we love Red Alert and Pink Chic, in particular).
Only problem? You’ll need to find a new excuse to take a five-minute bathroom break.
