Steal My Beauty :: Lips

Holy freaking crap it's Friday again already.

It seems like just seven days ago I dipped into my magical bag of tricks to reveal unbelievable truths that are probably still shocking you to your core. While may be derisive, personal hygiene is serious shit. People spend a great deal of time and money investing in beauty and I feel -- as your trusted gay -- it's my job, nay, duty to share my secrets.

So far, we've covered washing your face and smelling good. I never claimed this weekly update was going to break new ground. I merely suggest that the best beauty secrets are surprisingly everyday items everyone can get on the cheap. If you're spending more than $25 on a single product, believe me, I've tried just about everything and you're probably overpaying.

When it comes to this week's product, it is my oh-so-humble opinion that it may in fact be the most overpriced beauty item on the market. I've seen $50 containers of lip gloss that are nothing more than repackaged Vaseline. Read the labels, people!

Blistex Medicated Lip Balm :: $2

Now, I know, when you think beauty you don't think the checkout counter at Target. But for real, Blistex! This stuff is the bomb I swear. It's basically bees wax with sunscreen. It glides on and really seals in moisture to prevent drying. Nothing beats and/or prevents chapped lips better.

Additionally, this stuff works wonders when you have a cold. Got dry, chapped nose holes? Slap on some Blistex Medicated. It also works as a sexual lubricant in a pinch. Okay, that last part is a lie.
