I exchanged my lipstick habits with lip gloss about 5 years ago. It started when I found the best lip gloss I’d ever owned,  The Body Shop Born Lippy Lip Balm in watermelon, and evolved to the mango peach.

The Body Shop’s Born Lippy Lip Balm products were the very first Body Shop products I had ever bought. Of course I went back and bought pretty much everything else there including eyeliner, foundation, powder and on and on, but the lip gloss was my favorite. At the time I write this article I have 4 different types of Born Lippy in my bathroom and handbag; Body Shop Raspberry Born Lippy Balm, Body Shop Strawberry Born Lippy Balm, mango peach and watermelon.

Born Lippy even comes in Body Shop Cooling Mint Born Lippy Balm

My mango peach flavor I received from my sister-in-law about 3 or 4  years ago for my birthday and its still great. I  use it all the time. Its the best lip gloss to wear on romantic evenings. The Born Lippy glosses have a great flavor which make kissing even more fun.

Pros:

Tastes great – Since I lick my lips, and kiss my husband, a lot I notice the flavor of lip gloss. The best lip gloss has a tolerable flavor, Born Lippy has a great flavor.
Smells incredible – I love the frity flavor smell of the berry Born Lippy glosses best, but the mint gloss has a lovely fresh smell.

Nice sheen – the gloss effect is very subtle and light. There is no color just a soft sheen and the gloss doesn’t feel heavy or greasy.

Environmentally friendly packaging: While most customers do not take advantage of the refill policy that attracted me to the Body Shop in the first place, I believe the fact Born Lippy is in environmentally friendly packaging makes it the best lip gloss on the market.

Positive humanitarian and global policy advocate – The Body Shop sends a strong and important message through its global and humanitarian advocacy policies. The Body Shop lobbies extensively for their causes: Protect Our Planet, Defend Human Rights, Support Community Trade, Activate Self Esteem and Against Animal Testing.

Cons:

Refillable container – The need to use my finger in the container confines this particular gloss to casual social engagements or nights at home. I sometimes use a lip brush if its just dinner with me and my husband out, but I tend to use an applicator brand for business or non-casual social engagements.

You can buy the Born Lippy Lip Gloss at The Body Shop and it by far the best lip gloss for me.
