I am looking for a lip balm that has SPF and does not contain petroleum. Petroleum seems to make my lips break out. I asked Kizz for help. She seems to know her SPF shit. I told her I used Burt’s Bee’s lifeguard stuff but it made my lips white. I look silly with white lips. This is what she says to me;
“I’d suggest regular chapstick but that’s probably petroleum based. I know this is SO not what you usually do but Burt’s does make lip balms with a little (totally harmless!) color in them so maybe you could try one of those.”
My response to Kizz was” I’ll check out the Burt’s Bees. My friends won’t know what the hell to do with me if I start wearing something with color!”
I went to Target today and this is what I found. Does this look like a “little” color to you?
For shits and giggles I decided to call the SLMs and ask them what they thought. #1 answered the phone.
” What would you say if the next time you saw me I had lip gloss on?”
After she stopped laughing hysterically but while still laughing she said “Oh my God!”
”Don’t worry I am not going to do it. Put your wife on the phone.” I asked #2 the same question. At first she laughed too but then stopped and said; ” I would tell you to wash that fucking shit off your lips!”
In the next email Kizz said;” It’s good to keep your friends on their toes.”
I think my friends would either punch me square in the nose or have me sectioned for a psych evaluation if I put that stuff on my lips! So there you have it! No shimmering lips for me! Thanks for trying though Kizz, I do appreciate it. Let me know if you come up with anything else!
How do you protect your lips from the sun?
