Many lipsticks brands promise long lasting color and moisturizing properties. Though, by mid-afternoon, your lips start feeling dry, chapped and the lipstick color fades away. Maybelline New York’s Baby Lips is exclusively created for your lips’ winter care. With this lip balm, you can achieve up to eight hour hydration and intense lip repair. They also come in various colors that are both subtle and vibrant. A color to suit every personality!

A multipurpose shampoo, indeed!

3. St. Ives Apricot Scrub
