WHAT: Glossier Balm Dotcom
WHY: Lip balm preferences are a very personal thing. Inflaming, even.
I know there are ladies who will give up their Carmex when you pry it from their cold, dead hands. Ditto Vaseline. And Aquaphor. And Burt’s Bees. And (deep breath) Chapstick.
But truly, there is something about the pillowy softness of Balm Dotcom that changes the way you will rate lip balms.
The packaging is brilliant - you have the option of a finger-smear application, or a straight-from-the-tube swipe to the lips, and there’s an abundance of different flavors and hues, including our favorite, Rose, which seems to be the most moisturizing and soothing.
It features lovely ingredients like castor seed oil and Cupuacu fruit extracts and rice bran and rosemary leaf extracts, so you know it’s doing some very exciting stuff to your lips.
And, most importantly, you have the unspoken but very real feeling of coolness, knowing a tiny tube of Instagram-frenzy lurks in your very own purse.
PRICE: $12
