The Bite:
imageChapped lips got you talkin' smack about your gloss? Bad mouth. Pucker up to Green By Nature's locally made Lip Glazes in cherry, strawberry, orange, and (mmm...) peppermint. These clear, slick glosses have mint oil in 'em, so your lips feel soft and make out-able (and, we have to say, it keeps our breath deceptively fresh)...at least until you lick it all off. And unlike conventional types, GBN avoids nasty chems like hormone-disrupting phthalates and potentially cancer-causing parabens - good thing, since women ingest an average of 4 pounds of gloss during their lifetime. The NY-based line's also got body washes and lotions in tropical scents like Banana Shea and Almond Cocoa...for when you're done mud-slinging.
Wanna Try: 
Green By Nature, available online or at Target, 7101 Tonelle Ave., North Bergen, NJ. Map It (201-520-1701). Lip Glaze, $5.

Cocktail Fact

Lip Balm Anonymous is an organization designed to help people recover from their addiction to lip balm.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 NY Biters opt for paraben-free lip gloss instead of the conventional stuff, we'll avoid ingesting the weight of 210 politicians in unhealthy chems during our lifetimes.
