With time on my side, I have ways to go before I start worrying about fine lines, wrinkles and other crooks that weren’t there since birth BUT I am all about preventive care. If you can work on stopping something from happening now, there’s no need to worry about it later on, right?
Cue in Orlane Laboratories B21 Extreme Line-Reducing Lip Care ($75)*.
Now $75 is a bit pricey for a lip cream, but given the history of Orlane and the high standards it, as a company, sets for their products I won’t argue with it. Think of it as an investment, if you will, protecting your lips from those pesky lines that develop as you age. I’m no finance whiz but I’m pretty sure the long term benefits outweigh the cost.
Extreme Line-Reducing Lip Care promises to preserve the delicate lip area’s soft and feminine contours. It contains the Bio-Energic Vegetal Complex, Memoxyle Complex, and light refracting technology all to smooth, firm and moisturize the lips, reprogram the skin’s anti-wrinkle memory, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and create the illusion of more youthful, plumper lips with sophisticated optical diffusers.
I’ve been using this product religiously for about two weeks now (morning and night) and I absolutely love it as a lip primer. Its silky, gel-like consistency allows lipstick and lip gloss to glide on my lips without settling into any wicked lines I currently have due to my insanely dry lips. The color goes on smoother and more evenly without any bleeding.
I pair this with Orlane’s lipstick ($35)*, which also contains B21, and moisturizes my pout beyond repair! I will definitely be using this lipstick throughout the Fall (or whatever Mother Nature decides to throw at us this season).
Orlane products are available at select Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s and other fine specialty stores.
