Savory Lip Balm & Other Products I'm Loving RN

Shiso cute and hydrating!

I must admit my head has not been in the game — the abelskin game — this month. Between helping launch Nicki Minaj’s new line of press-on nails, Pink Friday, and dealing with a parental medical situación, I needed a little passion-project-break.com. But I’m back to bring you some under-the-radar and over(???)-the-radar product recommendations, including, but not limited to, a night serum that enhances my baby-faced skin.

Blunt Puffer Lip

You know how some people have a comfort lip balm? I never really had one before because I’m typically into cycling through hydrating lip tints. However, I’ve recently become obsessed with keeping Blunt’s Puffer Lip on my person at all times and swiping it on whenever I’m anxious or feeling blah. We were very attached yesterday.

This $9 lip balm is SHISO-flavored!!!! Most lip balms are minty or sweet, so I love this herbaceous twist. Shiso is such an unexpectedly calming and fresh flavor that I never expected in lip balm form, and now, I don’t think I can go back to any other balm. The formula is also so divine. It leaves lips feeling super soft and hydrated without feeling heavy, waxy, or mineral oily. The past couple of days in NY have been windy as hell, and Puffer Lip has def protected my lips from the elements.
