By Terry Baume De Rose Lip Balm

“My lips often become dry and chapped through the winter months, but this Eve Lom lip balm is already prepping my pout for summer. It has a nourishing texture that instantly softens my dry skin, leaving my lips both ultra-smooth and enhanced with a very subtle pink tint.” – Penny, senior beauty writer

Max Factor Lipstick and Lip Liner Bundle

“I’ve been looking for a smooth satin lipstick and matching lipliner to ease me into spring with a warmer tone. The ‘Nude Rose’ shade of the lipstick and the ‘Brown n Nude’ lipliner match my natural lip shade perfectly. Plus, it’s infused with a blend of vitamin E and shea, avocado and aloe butters, so I don’t have to worry about chapped lips.” - Ella, beauty writer
