Say hello to our mini holiday release for 2024! After our huge lip balm launch this past summer, we wanted to do some moody tones for the fall and winter, and this was the perfect opportunity for us to add some brown tones to the mix.
 
Enter Crash Cadence, and Distance Depths. A duo of neutral, slightly rose brown lip balms that come in a regular tint (Crash Cadence), and ultra sheer tint (Distant Depths). 
 
They will stick around until at least the New Year. Meaning if they sell out, they will be restocked. Depending on how these shades sell, we might consider adding them to our permanent roster but nothing is set in stone just eyt.

Purpose: A stick lip balm that provides rich nourishment in a variety of sheer shades designed to be "my lips but better" tones that aren't too vivid or saturated. 
 
Texture & Finish: A gelled wax that melts into a plush, grippy, and cushiony layer that hugs the lips. Becomes one with the lips, so there is no distinct layer of pigmented "stuff" that sits on top of the lips. Provides very natural hydrated luminosity, without looking heavy, thick, or overly glossy/goopy. If you like hyper shiny and pigmented lip products - this is not it. 
 
Tips & Directions: 
The first few uses will feel a little waxier and take more passes to melt onto the lips. Once the top layer has been worked through, the lip balm will melt, layer, and glide on much easier.
Twist up the stick the smallest amount when using it to minimize risk of breakage during use. Gentle gliding motions work best. No need to drag and press hard.
If you're someone who likes to swatch things, the lip balms swatch much easier once they've been broken into and used on the lips. Tugging them brand new across the skin to swatch them can lead to higher risk of breakage
 
Shade Descriptions:
 
Distant Depths (Ultra Sheer): an extra sheer brown, reminiscent of a gently brewed cup of black tea. Adds this whisper of moodiness to the lips that slightly deepens and mutes down their natural tone.
 
Crash Cadence: a wearable mid-tone brown that is neither too cool, yellow, or warm. Contains a slight rosy hue in its undertone that brings just enough liveliness to the shade. A very wearable brown, and reads more and more "natural", especially as skin and lip tones get deeper. Very reminiscent of a 90's brown lip but a bit more fresh and rosy.
 
Made and handpoured as always by us in Vancouver, BC. If you see a small air bubble or two in the stick - that's normal and what happens when you don't use big machinery to fill lip balm molds.
