Your Best Lipstick/Gloss?

[kittygrrl]

I'm always looking (& curious) for something amazing and would love to hear what's working out there. Currently favorite is "Desire" by MAC but open to something new..please share:tea:

[kittygrrl]

Mac Viva Glam IV for years and years.
Omygosh, is it still available? I am trying to find the original MAC "Velvet" from several years ago..so missing it :spruceup:

[Hollylane]

Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipstick, Smitten 310
Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipstick, Euphoria 360
Blistex Complete Moisture

[starryeyes]

Smashbox glosses. They have a 6 pack you can buy for $25.00 I think? I love all of the colors!

[moxie]

Smashbox lip glosses are great, they aren't tacky and are smooth. I like to wear them when I am not wanting a lot of color.

I prefer the Buxom glosses from Bare Escentuals. They deposit more color, are smooth and not tacky, plus they are tingly but not too much.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Laura Mercier Redwood liner with Persimmon lip glace [which has been discontinued! <sigh> I guess I'm looking for a new color, too . . . }

[Onyxena]

Personally, I have to go with just a cheap classic Wet 'n Wild Red lipstick. I like all the expensive stuff, but something keeps me going back to Wet 'n Wild.

I prefer the Buxom glosses from Bare Escentuals. They deposit more color, are smooth and not tacky, plus they are tingly but not too much.

I tried those (Smash box) long ago, they are nice but tend to be so pink (these days) and my lips are not pretty enough to look good in pink..Bare Ecentuals has some nice colors..I always go for the black honey..it's plumps them up a notch..I was not born with a sexy pout :( so I have to kinda cheat :)

[Fanciface]

By far, MAC has the absolute best lipsticks and gloss but I have a great find that was given to me by a MAC makeup artist. Try NYX lipsticks; while the quality is not as great as MAC, the colors are many and the price is amazing. I also love the BUXOM line from Bare Escentuals but do get complaints if you kiss anyone who doesn't like their lips to tingle!lol

[Sparkle]

My favorite every day lipstick is Benefit Silky Finish in "Good-to-go-go" (a plum nude colour) or "Rocket Pop" (natural pink nude colour). The lipstick is so creamy and soft! The downside is it isn't long lasting colour, it is definitely a re-apply lipstick - but it feels lovely and hydrating, it is sheer but has good colour. It doesn't get cakey or feathery.
http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/silky-finish-lipstick

I'm a big fan of Shishiedo products and I love their lipsticks because they're so lush (without being heavy or cakey or feathering) they go on and stay creamy looking. I like "Blush", "Roseate", "Sweet Pea" and "Dragon"
http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P233108&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=5337


And I just tried this product by Urban Decay recently...it is SUPER concentrated colour lipstick in a pencil form. I have "Fbomb" :)

Personally I love the tinted lip glosses from Bath and Body Works..I especially love the mentha ones..and He loves that they are all flavored! ;)

[Princess]

Cover Girl Outlast Lip Stain, in every shade of pink :) Can't do without it!

[Babyangeleyez]

Is there a thread for foundation? I've been looking for years for a good one and haven't found one I like yet. Any suggestions??

If we are talking liquid foundation, Sephora perfecting cover foundation is really amazing, and if you are more of a compact girl, Mineral Compact Foundation at Sephora as well. :)

Thanks Princess. I will have to check that out. I just hate having that "melting" look at a couple of hours. Seems no matter what I use it happens.

Thanks Princess. I will have to check that out. I just hate having that "melting" look at a couple of hours. Seems no matter what I use it happens.

try using a make up primer or makeup base! my face tends to get kind of sweaty when im wearing foundation, so i understand the melty look. the silicone in a makeup primer helps to hold the foundation in place...i use the base and then a powder over that for days like that...the powder doesnt melt off as quickly :)

[kittygrrl]

Not really red:

now that's pretty, kind of a hue of raisin. Is it matte?

[Hollylane]

now that's pretty, kind of a hue of raisin. Is it matte?

It has a little bit of shine, and a tiny bit of sparkle. It is the shade that I was wearing in my gallery photos. I almost want to run out and buy more, because I know how they love to get rid of my favorite shades/brands.

[Sparkle]

Thanks Princess. I will have to check that out. I just hate having that "melting" look at a couple of hours. Seems no matter what I use it happens.

Do you have oily skin?

I do. I use this sheer matifying powder. It's oil free and has SPF. It lasts for most of the day, but if I go out in the evening I have to reapply it. I like it because it is very lightweight.

http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P257311&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=5337

[kittygrrl]

Just reading all your posts inspired me and I purchased something I've never tried a MAC product called Dazzleglass..the colors are Love Alert & Sugar Rimmed..they look yummy and the names are really catchy..omg very slick marketing, but the colors are really amazing and are not anything like my usual which is usually dark reds rusts etc..this could get dangerous :)

Holly, I am definitely checking out your gallery! thanks!

[kittygrrl]

by Lancome. Does anybody know anything about these glosses? There is a set at Nordy's for $29

O yes, I love that bitten look, but you have a point about the kissing..Kissing is always a problem with just about any lipstick or gloss and I haven't found a long wear lipstick that doesn't dry me out or have colors that look good on me..Part of the point is that your lips look very kissable..at least that's a biggie for me :)

(imo)glitter is verrrry necessary! how does it taste and is it sticky?? thanks :)

ps..just learned this from a make-up specialist she said if your lipstick or gloss tends to slip off, try using a lip pencil to color in your whole lip, then apply your gloss/and/or lipstick

[midwest chick]

Clinique or Elizabeth Arden foundations work well for me, but can be a little pricey.

I've owned Juicy Tubes in the past. I liked the colour, but found it a little sticky. If it was too windy, my hair would stick to my lips.

I usually wear MAC Red these days. I've also liked Russian Red and (of course) Ruby Woo. :)

Just a hint of vanilla for flavor. Very shiny, the glitter is more like a shimmer. And yes, slightly sticky before it sets.

I do not care for any kind of gloss or lipstick from Lancome. The lipsticks tend to get overly dry and their glosses are too sticky for my taste and leave an odd feel on your lips.

My personal favorite gloss of course is MAC and a tie for
http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/166/1765/Dazzleglass/index.tmpl in love alert

and

http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/166/14179/Wonder-Woman-Lipglass/index.tmpl in wonder woman.....hint hint if you like this one buy a few cause it is getting discontinued soon.

As for Lipsticks I love MAC as well and my faves are
http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/168/19171/Glitter-and-Ice-Lipstick/index.tmpl in such flare

and
http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/168/310/Lipstick/index.tmpl in MAC red!!

http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/168/966/Viva-Glam-Lipstick/index.tmpl in Viva Glam l

The pigments are top notch and really rich as with all MAC products. The only other make up line I think holds a flame to MAC is MUF (make up forever) and some urban decay/smash box products as far as pigment and durability.

I use maybelline lip stain and then put Kiss My Face mint chapstick over it. The mint is so melty it's almost a gloss so it has some sheen and keeps my lips soft. It's easier to apply with a fingertip than straight out of the tube.

Warn your butch lover before they try to apply it like regular chapstick and end up with globs of chapstick around their shiny lady lips. I made this mistake with my ex once. He was not a happy boi.

love a red or raisin stain, but it's been hard to find one i'm happy with..its definitely worth a look..thanks!

[kittygrrl]

if you're not happy with the shape of your lips, this is a great little tip to make it a bit fuller. Get a very good creme based concealer and very carefully redefine and make the perfect defined outline (for a fuller lip), concentrate on your cupid bow, take a brush and blend concealer into foundation then set with translucent powder,, then use a brush with your lipstick and fill then in (a brush gives you more control) and/or then a lipglass..it's amazing..no rilly, try it!

[pinkgeek]

I'm a devotee of Urban Decay. I love their glosses and lipsticks. I also have some SmashBox.. Gave up my Mac to a friend - their reds just look funny on me..

[kittygrrl]

I've used it in the past but can't find it anywhere here..I've heard their eye shadow primer is rilly good..I'm definitely getting it:bolt:

[grenade]

revlon colorburst in gold dust is my new fave.

[twist of lime]

mac's liner in chutney is a lip staple. I use it all over like a lipstick and add a dab of gloss.

*smack*

lovely.

[pinkgeek]

kitty - online.. sephora.com and the eye primer is AMAZING..

I've used it in the past but can't find it anywhere here..I've heard their eye shadow primer is rilly good..I'm definitely getting it:bolt:

[Rivkeh]

'Benefit' lip stain and gloss over, really pretty lasting color. Also, 'Becca's'http://resources.shopstyle.co.uk/pim/b5/d1/b5d125eb4f0aa5609ff070c4216226ad.jpg lipsticks are really well pigmented and moisturizing as well :)

[Sachita]

The absolute best lip balm I've ever used is one you can easily make. You can buy her kit if you like or purchase you're own items in bulk. You can even buy the tubes or if you add more coconut butter (this is fantastic for your skins and lips) its softer and you need a little tin pot.

In the video she talks about lotion bars. Rubbing these in your hands or on skin. You can always add essential oils and if so inclined perhaps add color. At least its all natural. safe, won't dry your skin/lips out the way mineral oil based products can and no animal testing.

Trust me once you use this you'll fall in love.

[Gemme]

I have to say that I tried this product a couple of years ago and didn't like it as it dried my lips terribly, but they've made improvements to it that help with dryness so I thought I'd try it again.

Covergirl's Outlast. The stain is more like a gloss now in texture than a stick and the moisturizer sticks can be bought separately if you go through it quicker than the actual stain.

I've got three or four colors, but I really, really like Natural Blush. It's enough color to let the world know I have it on, but it goes with everything.

The trick is to catch and wipe off any smudges or ooopsies right away, as it seals in the color in less than 60 seconds.

I love this, Gemme! I'm a big fan and love how it doesn't dry my lips out yet it stays put all day. :)

[socialjustice_fsu]

I really like Lancome's Color Design lipstick in the shade "Poodle Skirt." The color name is ridiculous but it is a shimmery, frosted pink that stays on a good while. It has great moisturizers in it and applies nicely.
It is a little pricey but well worth it.

[Talon]

For lipstick my fav is YSL Rouge Pur lipstick...goes on like velvet, smooth and creamy, yet stays put.

For gloss, I really like Loreal..it's dense, yet sheer and shiney. :lips:

[Sky_femme]

I'm a bit of a lipstick/gloss maniac, I have so many! :)

Currently my 3 favourites are:

Revlon Just Bitten (Lip Stain) - it's not as bright as a lipstick, but still leaves a nice colour and stays put for long. I have it in some kind of fuchsia colour.
http://www.revlon.com/Revlon-Home/Products/Lips/Lipcolor/Revlon-Just-Bitten-Lipstain-and-Balm-By-Colorstay.aspx

Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush. The colour is not particularly special, but I love this lipgloss because it smells amazing and tastes sweat and fruity. I'm always looking for lipglosses that actually taste sweet- they're very hard to find! (although my lovers never seem to like it I think) ;)
http://www.victoriassecret.com/ss/Satellite?ProductID=1265788961352&c=Page&cid=1332988399125&pagename=vsdWrapper

Barry M Lip Laquer. Not sure they stock them in the US? They're bright, very glittery and super girly- love it :)
http://http://www.barrym.com/lip-lacquer-crayon (http://www.barrym.com/lip-lacquer-crayon)

P.S.: it would have been good to use "swatches" on skin to show how they look in real life..

I have this in cherry red. Love it! So easy and precise to apply. Not many colour choices though.

[Amber2010]

I loved MAC Poppyhop but of course they stopped making it :(
It sure looked great on the beach in the summer.

[deedarino]

I make my own lipbalm that is awesome...but I don't color it. Maybe I'll start working on that...

My favorite lip/color/balm is Neutrogena Revitalizing Lip Balm. It is spendy but really worth it! Just a touch of color but leaves your lips in beautiful condition.

[smilingfemme]

totally agree!

[Nadeest]

It may sound silly, but I love Wild and Crazy fruit lipglosses, primarily because of the way that they taste to me, once they are on my lips.

[Canela]

My favorite right now (cuz I go thru seasons) is by Smashbox, Star Fruit. It only comes in the starter kit with some other items (really cool eyeshadows and blush) so its not available unless you purchase the kit. I'll be looking for a new one soon.

Best lip balm, BeautiControl's Lip Balm/Lip Mask duo
Best lip stick, Estee Lauder's, Ripe Papaya...looks like a lip gloss too.

Nadeest, those are so great too, you mean the roll on ones right?

[blush]

I like burts bees for a lip balm.
Too Faced in Strip Tease for gloss.

[Nadeest]

No, these are not roll-on ones, per se. They come in a glass tube, with an applicator that you just put on your lips, and slide it along them, to apply the gloss. I hadn't known that they have roll-on ones, to be honest.

[Sweet Bliss]

Any new tips?

[girl_dee]

honey, i got some honey/glycerin mix from someone i know that makes it, i love it!

She said it's 2 dollars plus shipping. If you send me your info i'll get some and send it to you :)

[LexiLove]

I love so many different lipsticks but I looooooooooooove Korres lipsticks the best. They are like a gloss/lipstick in one. The color is a little sheer but you can build it. No drying or upset lips. I have eczema and sometimes get in on my mouth and the Korres lipsticks are the only ones I can wear when that happens.

[LipstickLola]

My favorite lip/color/balm is Neutrogena Revitalizing Lip Balm. It is spendy but really worth it! Just a touch of color but leaves your lips in beautiful condition.

I love these as well. Also, Nivea makes (at least I have one), a cherry flavor that isn't too cherry and has a touch of color, the feel is light, not goopy. BUT, I went to purchase more and now I can't find them anywhere. :blink:

Walgreens has it, you might want to call first, they are going fast. I can grab one for you next time I go if you can't find it. They are on sale, half off second tube.

I will check out the Korres brand. Never heard of that.

Hurraw? Will look this up also.

Thanks for posting!

[candy_coated_bitch]

I really love the new Urban Decay lipstick they have out. They've had different formulas at different times in history, and then they didn't have any lipsticks for a while and I was a very sad girl.

Well, the new revolution lipsticks are AMAZING!!!! I got F Bomb which is a blood red. It's not an every day color, and it IS pricey, but worth every penny.

For every day I really do like tinted lip balms, I will have to try some of these suggestions. :)

[candy_coated_bitch]

http://i.huffpost.com/gen/370038/MAYBELLINE-BABY-LIPS.jpg

I also *LOVE* these. They are sheer, but have a nice color and are very soft/moisturizing on the lips.

I make my own *diy femme here*

This is my latest obsession in lip gloss. Clinique Black Honey! Goes on fairly sheer but with a hint of deep plum. Super glossy, lasts a long time:

And I am apparently one of the last Femmes on Earth to get on board the Mac "Ruby Woo" train. I've loved this color on other Femmes for years but never would try it for myself.

It's not a stain but Covergirl makes their Outlast line, which does stay pretty well and comes with a gloss stick to moisturize. They have a ton of shades that are barely there. Check it out the next time you're in a store.

I came here to post about Outlast lipsticks! They stay on perfectly for 4-5 hours and then "well enough" for another couple of hours...

I use them for liner (kind of-- i create the line, but then i fill in with Outlast also, then layer on Cover Girl "Continuous Color" solid stick, then finish with the gloss stick)

(the applicator is not pointy but my fundamentals of painting professor drilled it into us that we should be able to create precision lines with any size/shape of brush just by controlling pressure)

Outlast: 740, 595, 559, 549, 512, 521

Continuous color: 505, 540, 415, 420, 435

Combination of Outlast 549 and Continuous Color 415 is a nice neutral pink

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Does anybody know a really good lip stain that looks natural and stays put? I'm fair/light skinned with cool undertones and I'm trying to find a nice pink that isn't bubblegum pink???

They have stopped making my favorite lip stain - Revlon Balm Stain. Now it is just Revlon Balm. I don't know if it still has the properties of a stain and it was just a name change, or if it was a formula change . . . but it makes me so upset! That stuff was truly "stain"ing.

It's not a stain, but I do like Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in Plum. It also comes in a Peony color which is very natural looking on me. It has considerably more color and moisture than what I expected from what is essentially chapstick. In fact, I would put it way out of chapstick's league altogether.

Burt Bees Plum here!

I found ELF Gotta Glow lip tint and it's pretty good. It stains your lips a natural looking pink after you apply and blot. I applied a few more coats to experiment and the pink color after the shine wore off was a kind of rosy pink that my bff and coworkers said looked good on me. I saw a lip stain by ELF but it was red and it looked too intimidating to me. I love red lips on other women but I think I'm too pale?

The above color sample is nearly the same way that Suede Splash appears to look on my lips. I like the natural look of this shade.

I like and use the colors: Rose, Suede Splash, Peony, and the no-tint basic lip balm.

I've been trying this one out lately. It's a velvet matte. Stays on nicely and nice, deep color!

Y'ALL.

100% Pure is AMAZEBALLS.

The liquid lipstick is glossy and stainy, so while it 'rubs off' I end up with a great color still on my lips.

I love the Ganache, Cherry Cordial, and the Sorbetto colors. Am not yet brave enough to try the Red Velvet, but one day...

I think the very best lipstick would be free lipstick!!

I don't wear it but just read that this Saturday, July 29th, is the:

FREE M.A.C NATIONAL LIPSTICK DAY!

https://media.allure.com/photos/5979fd00cb7b307a76a8280a/16:9/w_1003/Mac-Free-Lipstick-Instagram-2.png

If there's one thing that's better than M.A.C. lipstick it's free M.A.C. lipstick. I mean, who would pass up a tube of Ruby Woo or the new and chic Bright Aqua Blue, especially when there's no price tag attached?

And if you're anything like us, we probably had your attention at "free M.A.C. lipstick," so get ready: the makeup company is celebrating National Lipstick Day on Saturday, July 29 by giving away free tubes in stores.

All you have to do is show up at a local M.A.C. store or retailer to pick up your free full tube (read: not a sample size).

And in case you're wondering if this is too good to be true, there's no catch or fine print. (This isn't the first time M.A.C. has offered their #MACLipsLipsLips campaign; they gave away free tubes last month too — and it was glorious.)

oh and for gayandgray lipstick queen also makes a lip tint (the rose one looks amazing)

[kittygrrl]

I have this new shade "femme fatale"..the color is beautiful, but..pretty sure it can't deliver on "fatale" :eatinghersheybar: it will be fun to try

[candy_coated_bitch]

I've recently discovered NYX butter lip balm. It's tinted and does go on like butter. The color looks great, it's not heavy, and stays on almost like a lip stain.

[LaDivina]

I recently bought an Urban Decay shade called Ladyflower, at least halfway because of the name. :blush:

But it's also a really pretty sheer pink.

I almost never wear lipstick but liked this one so much I just looked it up online.

There is a Lolita and a Lolita II.

Is this lipstick I or II?

:)

[candy_coated_bitch]

If anyone is interested in a less expensive brand, I highly recommend NYX butter lipstick. It's like five bucks and tons of quality for the price. They also sell liquid lipsticks and I have one of their matte liquid lipsticks and love it.

Just something to consider. You can find them online, in CVS, Target, etc and at Ulta. Heart their brand.

[candy_coated_bitch]

PS Love the Kat von D Lolita color!

[kittygrrl]

Anya it's the original ..but something i've found with Kat lipsticks, they look slightly different on everyone. Probably due to your personal chemistry. It's a gorgeous rosepetal pink..and Candy, definitely!! NYX makes very nice color and lip feel lipstick.:tea:

I do like some shine sometimes, but I still love my Maybelline Baby Lips, for the yummy flavors, slight tint and how well they moisturize without being a sticky gloss or a chalky chapstick. I run out of these quickly as I use them just a bit obsessively sometimes.

I love Nyx too. I still love my "Doll" color. (I also keep buying their Doll mascara because it is the only one that doesn't smudge on me, but that's another topic.)

I'm sure they were targeting a younger audience. And while it isn't the most sophisticated looking packaging, the product is the perfect solution for all types of people. And on top of it they are pretty cheap considering, so overall can't go wrong.

Ohhhhkkay.

So I got the very bougie Louboutin lipstick in the color of "Mexicatchy". It's a sheer voile red and I do really love the color. Great texture and smells nice.

But damn, $90? I have some lovely Urban Decay lipsticks that are similar in texture that I love just as much and they are so much less expensive.

This is the real pic (pardon my manicure!)

Bite. All of Bite's products.

Lipstick and liquid lipstick -$30 cdn

All are made 100% food safe. That means you could eat it. Because, frankly, you do.

No fragrances. No crap. Ingestible. Amazing moisture on the lips, never drying. It's been cleaning up at beauty awards through 2016 and 2017.

They are now starting to make "beauty sticks" (multipurpose for eyes or lips or cheeks) as well.

I bought their Agave Lip triad a sephora because my lips were falling off and I loved it so I bought the travel set of lipsticks. Will buy them over anything else now.

I bought them for a friend who is allergic to everything with scent and can rarely find any kind of make up to wear. She can wear them.

So, I'm thrilled. Canuck company, made in Canada (factory exceeds minimum wage with very good benefits package) with Canadian concepts of food safety, award winning, fabulous results, great colours, small batch production, not tested on animals, very good colour payoff, staying power (4 hours), non-drying.

"Bite is made by Bite: Every one of its lip innovations is handcrafted in its Canadian facility, and made with natural, organic, good-for-you, ingredients. Bite does not contain gluten, sulfates, parabens, phthalates or petrochemicals (not even silicone)."

Those things are important to me if I'm going to pick a brand, I'm very fussy.

The lip balm and lip sticks are not vegan. Lip balm contains lanolin, lip stick contains bee's wax. Liquid lipstick is vegan.

I was feeling cheeky today so I wore my Kat Von D "Hellbent" all day and had several compliments. It's got a lot of brick red undertones and a bit of brown so it's a super red but also classic:

Is MAC really worth the price? I want a nice red and everyday nude and everyone has recommended MAC but damn if I’m cheap and MAC is pricey.

In my opinion, absolutely.

I've worn Mac for years and find the formula (especially the mattes) to be very long-lasting, not drying, and super pigmented. They have a bit of a vanilla smell and seem to stay put pretty well.

I actually just picked up a new Mac color ("Chili) I've been wanting to try and the folks I work with are in LOVE with it. It's a retro red with a bit of burnt sienna undertones and goes well with my red hair and freckles:

I'm pretty partial to Sephora's own Cream Lip Stain (https://www.makeupalley.com/product/showreview.asp/ItemId=143570/Cream-Lip-Stain-(all-shades)/Sephora-/Lipstick) in Always Red. It's a punchy red, matte, and smells so good!

https://i.pinimg.com/564x/55/ed/b6/55edb6d291767adde865ea15f9f65c8a.jpg

It is a bit drying, as stains are wont to be, but the staying power is pretty amazing and to me, that's the more important part. It's a true red and I think it's flattering on nearly all skin tones, but especially darker or caramel ones. Has kind of a retro 1950's housewife feel to it and depending on your personal style, I think it could work for everyday if you're more rockabilly femme or to punch up an evening outfit. It also pairs nicely with a lighter eye and casual wear if you're just looking to give your outfit that little extra oomph!

And very reasonably priced (I think) at around $12 USD, or $15 CAD.

Love Burt's pomegranate! Except I avoid Burt's now that it's no longer all natural and was bought out by Clorox. Just warning you if you care about that kind of thing.

[VintageFemme]

My favs are Kat Von D's Foiled Love in Adora (red) and Valentine (pink). They are discontinued though so I try to stock up on what I can find on eBay and Amazon. They're both still pretty easy to find. They have a wonderful metallic shine to them but it's not overwhelming, just enough to make you sit up and take notice. And the pigment is gorgeously intense.

[Lyte]

Huh?! I had no idea! I thought Burt's was all natural! I finally weaned my arse off Strawberry Chapstick... that stuff is addictive ... and now Burt's bad too??? :(

Can you recommend something else? Umm... preferably sans gloss please! :p lol

My absolute fave these days are Revlon's "iced amethyst" and Burt's Bees "evening glow".

I used to be a clinique girl, but I read a few articles that demonstrated to me that I didn't have to break the bank to acquire the same look. I wonder if I could manage a link here...I'm such a luddite!

Isn't she just precious? :stillheart: :stillheart: :stillheart:

I love how she say's she asked herself, when asked who gave her permission to buy her own lipstick and where she bought it. She's simply a darling little girl.

Any new tips?

I use extra virgin olive oil for beauty treatments or when I cook food at home and I even use a teaspoon of it in my first cup of hydration for the day.

Here is a link to learn how to use extra virgin olive oil and a recipe for your own DIY evoo lip balm. EVOO has many healing properties. :)
