’Tis the season of dry and crusty lips thanks to quickly dropping temperatures and exceptionally dry air. And, sure, you could just reach for your trusty Aquaphor or Vaseline, but there’s something to be said for owning a nice-smelling, nourishing lip balm that gives your lips a little bit of color. Enter: the Fresh Sugar Lip Balm, a favorite of To Paradise author Hanya Yanagihara, who told our friends at the Cut that she keeps a rose-tinted one on her at all times. You can grab that one — along with four other scents — in this mini lip-balm set now on sale at Sephora. It would make a good gift for someone who’s constantly misplacing their lip balm (even they would find it hard to lose five whole tubes!) or a nice treat for yourself.
The set is currently on sale at Sephora, down from $38 to $25, and if you’re a member, you’ll receive an additional 20 percent off. That makes it just $20, or $5 a balm. If you’re keeping up with the math, that’s only a little more expensive than a tub of Vaseline.
