Fenty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipsticks

IF YOU'RE A LIP BALM KINDA PERSON, YOU'RE GOING TO NEED THE FENTY SLIP SHINES IN YOUR LIFE.

Now, I’m not normally one for expensive or luxurious lipbalms. I’ve found some great options for under $10 (like my beloved Jack Black Intense Therapy!) but every once in awhile I get the chance to try something super swanky, and... Read More
