Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15 (available here) - $22.50

Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15 blends reparative oils and waxes with real sugar, a natural humectant, for delectable and dependable moisture.  Sweet and tart black currant oil, rich in plumping essential fatty acids, cushions the lips while antioxidant grapeseed polyphenols and vitamins A, C, and E provide protection from wrinkle-causing free radicals.  It also provides essential, year-round protection from damaging UV rays.

I got the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment balm as part of a Sephora Beauty Insider birthday gift set (from 2012).  I had tried - and loved - this lip balm in store before, but as always, I put off buying this and stocked up on makeup instead.  Anyway, thanks to Sephora, I finally got my own little tube, a mini-version, but just as effective as the larger full-size version.  Fresh products aren't cheap, and at $22.50, this lip balm is no exception, but it is one of the best I have tried so far.  This gives almost instant relief to dry lips and keeps my lips moisturized the whole day long.   Two things I sort of don't like about it:  The packaging is a twist-open sort of cap, and I still haven't learned to stop trying to pulling it open!  The other thing is the size of this lip balm.  The bigger/regular size tube is a little too big, and I much prefer the mini sizes.  It would be so much nicer if Fresh also made individual mini sizes available for sale (at lower prices, of course).

Do give the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment a try if you are someone who needs a lip balm in every coat pocket and every room of the house.  It is pricey, gets used up quite rapidly, and is definitely bit of a luxury, but it is good!
