Further expanding its collection of uniquely designed lip balms, Lip Smackers introduced its Lippy Pals line, which consists of five different animal-shaped products that provide users with long-lasting hydration and comfort.
The five animals in the collection are a panda, unicorn, fox, bunny and a kitten. All of the designs utilize bright colors and each boasts a scent and flavor that's inspired by the animals that make up the packaging. For example, the bunny-shaped balm boasts a carrot cake-inspired formula, whereas the kitten one, which is accented with fruity designs, has a "Water-Meow-Lon" formula.
Once applied, all of the balms leave the lips feeling moisturized, soothed, and with a subtle but long-lasting level of shine.
