If you asked me what one beauty product I could not live without, my answer would have to be CO Bigelow's Mentha Lip Tint. I discovered this little tube of Heaven for My Lips by way of my sister. We were at our Mom's house when I had reached into my purse for my lipgloss. The lipgloss was missing.

"Here, use mine." she said, as she handed me the lipgloss.

I took the lid off, applied it to my lips and for just a moment, time stood still. My lips began to tingle and then, I heard angels singing. Ok, that part is a lie, there were no singing angels, but there was most definitely tingling of the lips.

"Lick it." My sister said.

"Lick it?" I replied.

"Yes. It tastes like gum! It's like a breath mint!"

And so, I licked my lips and what do you know! It was fresh and minty!

I was instantly hooked. As soon as I left my Mom's house, I drove straight over to Bath and Body Works to buy myself a tube of that minty, shiny, tingly goodness for my lips.

Confession: There was a time in my life where I wouldn't think twice about how much a beauty product cost if I loved it. "$25 for that gloss? GIVE ME TWO!" But three kids and a whole stack of bills later, I am very hestitant to spend money on beauty products for myself. In fact, to be honest, I think more than $4.00 is a bit much for lipgloss (Thank heavens for Burts Bee.) So, I wasn't very happy about the $7.50 price tag. However, I was so amazed at how wonderful it felt on my lips, that I was willing to buy it. And it was worth every penny.

This gloss is so amazing that it makes me want to say things like "It's changed my life." or "It's made me a better person." I just love the way that it soothes my lips. And the tingling feeling is quite addicting. I carry it with me wherever I go (in fact, since I've written this, I've applied it twice. TRUE STORY.)

It's tinted just enough that you can wear it on it's own, but it's also light enough to wear over lipstick if you prefer a bit more color on your lips. And, Bonus! You will not panic if you run out of tic tacs so long as you have this lip tint in your purse. The mint-infused goodness will get you through any embarrassing breath emergenies.
