Ever see a candle. Some are beautiful expressions of art and some are simply a waxy stick that last forever unless you light it. And then it melts and melts and melts into an oily blob that eventually dries back into a waxy heap. And that's the way most cosmetics, especially lipsticks, are. They're wax based so there's really no shelf life to them. |

These ingredients definitely have a shelf life
and, like vegetables in the marketplace, time is critical. Ever eat a carrot
right out of the ground...or an orange just after it's been picked from the
tree? Ever have a fresh cucumber facial? If you have, then you know that it's
hard to go back to supermarket "fresh" fruits and vegetables or "simulated
cucumber cream"! And that's just the way it is with LipInk. The fresher, the
better and nowhere can you get fresher, all natural cosmetics than from Studio
Direct. |
