SAY GOODBYE TO YESTERDAY’S LIP GLOSS
Once upon a time, you had to choose between moisture or color when picking a lipstick or gloss. But not anymore. Updated lip hybrids—meaning lipsticks, lip stains, balms, and glosses—provide equal parts moisture and durable color. You can kiss those old lip products goodbye.
