Chapped lips getting you down this winter? Same, girl. Allow us to introduce you to E.L.F. Lip Exfoliators, which have suddenly moved from the grungy bottom of our makeup bag to the tippity top.
The first ingredient in the E.L.F. Lip Exfoliator is sucrose, a.k.a. sugar, and it's that gentle roughness that sloughs away flakey patches. But you don't just rub it onto your most ragged lips, which if you actually know the pain that is really chapped lips, is a terrible idea. The idea is that you first wet your mouth with a damp sponge, then, working in little circles, rub the bullet along your top and bottom lip. Because you've likely loosened dead skin cells, the next step is to use that very same damp sponge to do a little clean-up. When blotting and smoothing, don't worry that you're just reversing all the good you've done. The bullet also has a slew of heavy-duty hydrators (shea butter, jojoba, grape, and avocado oils) that soak into your lips almost on impact.
The E.L.F. Lip Exfoliator launched in 2011 with the unscented Original, but added two additional flavors: Sweet Cherry, which has a nostalgic icy fruity scent and the fresh and bracing Mint Maniac, last spring. This month, they released three new additions: Coconut, which is sweet and nutty but not cloying, zingy Pink Grapefruit, and Rose, which is soft and heady. Coconut is my personal favorite because there's nothing like swiping something tropical on your pout in the dead of winter. If you're a true E.L.F. fan (hand raised), you might be wondering if the Lip Exfoliator tube has the same hidden compartment as the lipsticks. The scrubs unfortunately don't offer the same secret stash. Le sigh.
The exfoliating bullets are a one-shot chapped lip cure, but they also are the ultimate way to prepare lips for dark, seasonal lipsticks. (Just saying, merlot, burgundy and raisin sing on a smooth and evenly quenched canvas. Gathered in fine lines and clinging to flakes? That's not really the look.) In case we're getting you inspired to take a walk on the darker side, here's our round-up of our favorite winter lipsticks from the drugstore.
