Lip Ink
The Bite:
Just kidding, we'll spill the beans right off: Lip-Ink's trusty new eco tool kit is ready to give you some lip lovin'. Three parts: an Off Solution that cleans and helps exfoliate; a Lip Shine Moisturizer that hydrates (put it on before and after the color); and a tingly lip stain that lasts (choose from 56 hues). We slapped on L-I's Blush shade, and our lips stayed berry hued even after our postdinner make out sesh on V-Day. Chock-full of organic ingredients, L-I doesn't contain parabens or petrolatum-based (made from…wait for it…petroleum) ingredients found in most conventional lipsticks, and comes in a recyclable container. So, yeah, we'll stop flapping our gums...

Lip-Ink International, 105 Eucalyptus Dr., El Segundo. Map It (310-414-9246); and Cinema Secrets, 4400 Riverside Dr., Burbank. Map It (818-846-0579). Sampler Kit, $60; Mini Kit, $40; Trial Size Kit, $16.50.

Cocktail Fact

According to the Mayo Clinic, mouth breathers run a high risk of chapped lips.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 LA Biters opt for a petrolatum-free lip color rather than a conventional one, we'll conserve the weight of two makeup artists in nonrenewable resources.
