Aveda Nourish-Mint Rehydrating Lip Glaze in Raspberry Tea

$18.00 for 0.24 oz.

Not a bad Tuesday, to be honest. I don't think taking a shower in the morning has felt so refreshing in a long while, meaning I was either too stinky for my own good or I got decent sleep last night. I'm hoping it was good sleep because otherwise my boy is way too nice on Valentine's Day. So what is the best thing I wore on V-Day--why it's this gloss right here!!

Yes, it rehydrates, and better than any gloss or lipstick I've tried ever. I hadn't even noticed how frequently I was reaching for this until I found a tiny bit of transfer on almost all of cups and mugs I had to wash of this very color. And as little transfer as I ever saw from my glosses too! It's insane how quickly this gloss (or glaze, as it's called) is just my go-to without any effort. Supposedly this will thoroughly recondition your lips in eight weeks...but I'm pretty sure it's done that in less than two for me...

 The color of this is a fantastic totally neutral rose that has semi-opaque to opaque coverage, depending on how much you use and if it's over lipstick or bare lips. Raspberry Tea lasts for about 4 hours on me and I barely notice when it's gone because my lips feel hydrated for roughly two hours afterwards. That never happens. Nourish-Mint Glaze is a non-sticky gloss that (as I mentioned before) has very little transfer compared to all other glosses I own.

Um, it's perfect really, just perfect. The packaging is nice and simple, you aren't paying an arm and a leg for a brand, and you are paying for super-quality that actually does what it claims to do. How is that not a win? You are also getting roughly a quarter more product (0.24 oz as opposed to 0.2) for a high-mid-range price, making the cost around $13-14 for the normal amount of product, I suppose. Still a win.

I can honestly see myself owning every single color of this, just so that I can mix color up with the same great results for the pucker. That sounds like I'm peddling the product, but I only buy makeup with my own money, and I will be collecting colors over a good long while.
