Our Lips are Expensive

darphin lips.jpgBergdorf is holding a beauty event in stores January 23rd and 24th, to drum up interest in Darphin’s new Age-Defying Lip Balm. If you stand in line like a good kid, you can get your new lippy hand painted by local artist Olivia Wolfe.

The new lip saver sounds like quite the luxe product: It features plum oil, kokum butter, mango butter and sunflower oil to moisturize and repair, organic argan and rosemary oil to defend against free radicals, and Maxi-Lip to improve skin density and diminish the look of wrinkles.

But? It costs $40. The Olivia custom painting may be free, but damn, get these people a newspaper (Or a line of all the people who made the balm sell out on Darphin’s site already…)

Sounds ridiculous but I've spent $45 on La Mer lip balm.

It's amazing though so...I don't miss the $45.

I bought this online and it's totally worth 40 bucks and you don't have to use that much either.
