How many lip-glosses do you carry in your purse on a daily basis?

If you’re embarrassed to say, don’t worry – we won’t ask you to admit it in writing.  Truthfully speaking, I usually have at least five or six at any given time. Seeing as how I technically only have one pair of lips, I should only have around one or two – max three. What ends up happening is that I use one gloss on Monday then toss it into my purse then I’ll use a different gloss Tuesday and toss THAT one in my purse – do we see a pattern here? It’s rare that I find a gloss that I can use throughout the whole day. Sometimes I want gloss, something just some lip balm – it’s a terrible cycle.

Just recently I found a gloss that’s just been added to my must-have usual rotation. This lovely find is USDA Certified Organic, has a brush tip applicator (my fave!), and gets an A on consistency. Did we mention it’s packed with “anthocyanins?” They’re what give cranberries, blueberries, and purple corn their striking colors. So your pout gets a shade that’s 100 % au naturale. Along with the additional benefits from intelligent ingredients like Acai oil, coconut oil and butter, shea butter, and rose hip oil.

After reviewing it for the last two weeks, Intelligent Nutrients Lip Delivery Antioxidant Gloss is a keeper in my book.  A mildly fruity scent comes out of the tube but it’s not bad at all. It’s a gloss so don’t expect any extra stay power but the way it made my lips look more than made up for it. When it did come off, my lips felt super moisturized and hydrated.

Like a true (and proud) beauty geek, I did my research on manufacturer, Intelligent Nutrients, and was pleasantly surprised at how big a part science played in the creation of the antioxidant-rich beauty product. Available in three shades – Sheer Cranberry, Soft Blueberry, Purple Maize, and a Clear Frosting, look out for them at Barney’s NY and online in September of 2011. I believe they’re well worth the modest $24 dollar investment.
