Buy now with Skinstore US Caudalie French Tinted Lip Balm - Seduction
Buy now with free deliveryWhen it comes to thirsty skin, your lips are probably one of the first places you’ll feel the dryness taking its toll. Especially if you’ve got a habit of licking your lips—that really only does more harm. Tossing a lip balm into your bag gives you a glamorous option to keep your pout nice and hydrated!
Lipsticks can be messy, especially when pit stops are few and far apart. Keep that tease of color while at the same time nourishing your lips with ingredients like beeswax, aloe vera, and sunflower oil. If a bubble-gum pink isn’t your preferred hue of choice, take a look at Innocence for a frosty pink, or Addiction for a raspberry red.
Let this product double up its benefits for you and use it as a blush for an easy pop of color to the cheeks!
Lastly, just skip the mascara. Nothing is going to be more uncomfortable—or less glamorous—than black lashes that wear and flake off under the eyes. The key to travel glamour is comfort.
