What will be on my lips this summer

by Kena Paranjape on June 15, 2008

Let's face it. We all impatiently wait for summer to arrive but as soon as Toronto's true summer hits, we secretly curse what the hot sun and humidity do to our make-up and hair. The lip glosses we wear all winter seem to melt and create a sloppy, gooey look that is not all that attractive and doesn't feel so great either. A heavy lipstick isn't the solve - who wants to wear a thick layer of anything when we are all about feeling light and free and showing some skin for a short few months? My recent discovery solves all of the above and more: Aveda's SPF15 Lip Tint.

It is what will be on my lips all summer. It is moisturizing, has SPF15 to protect the delicate skin on your lips, comes in 8 sheer shades to suit all skin types, and has that herbal good for you - good for the environment smell that Aveda has become famous for. At $17.50, it doesn't come cheap, but if you believe in quality over quantity like I do, this one tube can replace all the half empty lip balms you have lying around. One in your bag will last you all summer!
