Lip Balm Question

Post by RGup » Mon Dec 21, 2009 1:33 am

Hey, I am kinda new and I was wondering if someone could tell me the difference between the black label lip glosses and the organic ones. I know that the difference between the regular and the vegans is that the vegan does not use beeswax. Does that make a difference? Which is the most moisturizing? My lips are always chapped and bloody, and I need something that gives good moisture. I'm not so interested in the wands cause I wish to put this on discretely, cause I'm a guy. That also means I am not interested in really pigmented lippies. I was thinking about getting Clear Devil's Food Cake Black Label Lippie cause its clear and smells like chocolate (yum). Thanks for any replies!

Black Label is our ultra luxe lippie formula...it has some really just fantastic, rare ingredients, and that should be the most moisturizing. A few days of that and your lips should be in pretty good shape. After the Black Label- our balms have the highest amount of conditioning oils, and none of them have any color in them. The Organic Glosses are good,but they're mainly a gloss that also has some conditioning properties- the vegan ones are an off-shoot of the organics. IMHO go for beeswax if you can. I think it makes a difference because it has some humectant properties that other waxes just don't have.

On that note: is the Smooth and Full the same base as Black Label, but with the extra collagen stuff? I just can't get enough of it!

i love the smooth and full too- i think it's a tad waxier than some of the others cuz it stays put longer. love it.

The Devil's Food is super delicious. I vote for that one. It's clear and discreet but is really moisturizing and gives a nice sheen without looking like gloss.
