Sante Lipstick Balm: Get Your Smooth On

I don't know what I like better: the smooth feel of Sante's lipstick balm or the fact that Sante's a German company dedicated to providing natural cosmetics to the masses.

I travel to Europe often and am well aware of the quality and variety of natural body products. To be able to buy German cosmetics online from the comfort of my own home is wonderful! (It won't stop me from traveling to Europe every now and then, but...)

I tried the Sante Lipstick Balm in color #5 (Bronze). I am fair skinned and do well with warm colors, and this lipstick is beautiful! It gives my lips a nice pinkish bronze color with a light shine on them. I would definitely wear it for day or night because it's not too strong or dark. Keep in mind that this isn't a traditional lipstick, but rather a lipstick balm. It's basically colored lip balm in a stick. It feels very smooth on my lips (as I want balm to feel), thanks to organic soy and jojoba oils. This balm feels a bit heavier on my lips than my typical balm, but it's nothing that bothers me and it lasts a lot longer than regular lip balm.

Another benefit: Sante's Lipstick Balm also provides SPF 15 protection from pure mineral sunscreen. This is great because most lipsticks don't offer SPF sun protection and most lip balms don't offer color, so I get the best of both worlds with the SPF 15 lipstick balm. Because it's natural, I also get protection without chemicals.

The Lipstick Balm comes in sheer neutral, pink, magenta, red, and bronze.

Eco Creds: No synthetic colors, fragrances, petrochemicals, preservatives, silicone oils; organic; contain natural mineral pigments and plant extracts.

Bottom Line: Natural protection, shine, and color all in one.--N.S. (Feb 2011)
