“It’s the Balm!!! These oh so cute lip glosses will be a staple in my beauty arsenal! With the catchy color titles like ‘Shopaholic and Shoe Fetish’ you are destined to find a color and phrase that represents you. One of the great things about this product is the casing which is reminiscent of a float art pen. The character in Shopaholic walks through the store leaving with concierge in tow holding the copious amounts of products she purchased during her spree…too cute! The gloss smells amazing and looks great while moisturizing. Once the gloss is done, the float art side comes off to form a key ring…LOVE it! -Natayle; Atlanta, GA
Best Can’t Live Without Product: Mojo Cosmetics Titan and Bullet Combo Lipstick $45 www.mojocosmetics.us
“This is definitely one of the BEST products out on the market. This innovative product has got me screaming it’s name from the roof top. First, the Titan (the unit holding the lipstick) is heat resistant. You’re probably thinking, so? It means everything! How many times have you grabbed your favorite tube of lipstick, put it in the car and forgot it? We know how that story ends! There’s no worries with this casing! Secondly, the top is twist-off; so, forget about the top coming off in your purse…ever! And lastly, it has a stainless steel key ring so it can be attached to your keys or purse! The Titan is refillable, so your pout will be as versatile as you are! I can go on and on, but the only thing you need to know is get this TODAY!â€? —Natayle; Atlanta, GA
