Did you know the skin on your lips needs extra TLC? Unlike the rest of your body, your lips don’t have oil glands which makes them more prone to dryness.

Destined to buff away dead skin cells, this sensorial and soothing staple resurfaces and refines uneven texture and dryness while conditioning delicate skin.

Infused with a nourishing blend of berry wax, shea butter and hyaluronic acid, this mask deeply hydrates your lips, ensuring you wake up to a healthier-looking pout.

Vieve Poutder Lip Mousse

Remember the matte make-up of the '90s? That’s right, deep browns and plums and cakey textures were de jour. We've certainly come a long way since then.
