Question of the Week: What lip balm(s) do you reach for when your lips are in dire need of moisture/hydration?
Answer: A timely question! I’m picky about my cruelty free lip balms. A lot of the popular balms, I find to be either too waxy or too greasy. But I just discovered Tom’s of Maine Organic Moisturizing Lip Balm and am a little obsessed. This brand new balm from Tom’s is super hydrating and feels great on my lips. The peppermint scent is a fab bonus!

I tend to be picky with lip balms. I hope this one is good for me.
