I dropped by Sephora this weekend and grabbed my birthday gift - Fresh Sugar Kisses Mini Lip Duo and a mini Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion.
The mini Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion is currently not being offered on Sephora.com or Sephora.ca so you will have to go in store to grab it. I am running low on primer so this was perfect.
What I was really excited to try is Fresh's Sugar Kisses lip treatments wit SPF 15. The mini duo set came with a regular lip treatment is clear in color and the other was a rose tinted lip treatment that went on as a glossy rose red as you can in the swatch below.
They go on very smoothly and my lips stayed hydrated for a good 4-5 hours until I needed another application providing that I also didn't eat something during this time. Drinking or sipping water didn't really take the product off. The scent is fabulous. Smells like lemon and sugar!
I am super stoked that the lip treatments are paraben-free and also does not contain
- Sulfates
- Synthetic Dyes - the color tinted lip treatments do contain dyes but the clear one does not*
- Petrochemicals
- Phthalates
- GMOs
- Triclosan
*If you want to find out more how synthetic dyes are bad for you, check out David Suzuki's website. here. And just so you are aware, a lot of makeup with color contains synthetic dyes even including my favorite O.C.C. lip tars.
The Sugar Lip Treatments are great for those who wants something more hydrating and long lasting. There are less expensive alternatives out there that are also paraben-free like Rocky Mountain Lip Butters (all natural ingredients, $4.50 CAN) and Burt's Bees ($4.89 CAN). It all comes down to preference and how much you're willing to spend. In the meantime though, if you're a Beauty Insider or VIB, you can get the mini duo set as your birthday gift from Sephora. It's a good way to try before you decide.
