The satin-smooth formula featuring 4K high-def spheres illuminates, perfects and enhances our radiance all the while hydrating our skin for better makeup application. Add micro-fine amber and bronze pearls and we’ve got a warm glow that will do more than attract the fireflies.

Did you hear? When it comes to lips, matte is out and shine is back. Add the soothing comfort of an oil to the shine of a gloss and you’re what we like to call totally kissable. This pure plant oil formula features a blend of mirabelle plum, jojoba and hazelnut oils to instantly soothe and nourish sun-kissed lips while forming a protective layer of transparent color to help lock in moisture for deep hydration. 

Wear it alone for a natural, beauty look or over lipstick to amp up the shine and moisture factors. PS. We’re wearing Honey Glam (shade 07) this week. Which one will you choose?
