Like any 12-year-old girl worth her weight in pink, we love a good unicorn. Add on a decade or two and we’re still that person. So obviously we gravitated towards Truly’s Unicorn Fruit Lip Plumping Balm like it was our job.
The awesome name and the balm’s iridescent swirl of pink, purple, blue and yellow colours aside, this product does what it claims it will: plumps up our lips. And no, not in an inflated Barbie kind of way, but rather a hydrated and more enhanced version of our real selves. Squishy and bouncy to the touch, the balm’s formula is loaded with shea, mango, kakum and cocoa butters; coconut, sweet almond and jojoba seed oils; vitamin E and a garden’s worth of botanical and floral extracts—all to nourish, moisturize and boost up our lips.
It absorbs quickly too, leaving a soft, sweet and lingering scent on our mouth. And it’s sheer and without colour, so we can easily apply a gloss or lipstick over top. As for the unicorns, well, we can definitely feel their magic every time we twirl open the lid and dip inside the little glass jar.
Truly Unicorn Fruit Lip Plumping Balm, $18.99 each, available at Shoppers Drug Mart.
