What We're Sweet On: A Lip Exfoliator That's Unrefined

Rough, peeling lips underneath your favorite matte lipstick (or any lipstick for that matter) are never a good thing.


Rough, peeling lips underneath your favorite matte lipstick (or any lipstick for that matter) are never a good thing. Enter your salvation: Fresh Sugar Lip Polish ($23). Unlike most lip scrubs, Fresh's formula doesn't shy away from coarse crystals. The brown sugar granules slough away dead skin, giving your lips a smooth finish, while shea butter, jojoba oil, and grapeseed oil lend moisture. Plus, an extra burst of vitamin E helps protects your reserves of collagen and elastin. And if you haven't tried this lip scrub's body polish brother, then you've yet to discover how sweet an exfoliator sugar can be.

Manhattanites: Get a Free Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment

If you live in New York City, there could be a free Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment in your future.

If you live in New York City, there could be a free Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment in your future. As part of its Kiss & Tell campaign, Fresh will be sending this adorable truck to four locations in the city on June 23 (that's tomorrow!) and June 25. All you have to do is go by the truck to get a free full-size balm of your choice. Inside the trucks, you'll also be able to enter a Facebook contest to win a $2,500 shopping spree on Fresh.com. All you have to do is tell the story of your sweetest kiss, and the entry that garners the most votes will win.

I'm a little jealous that there won't be trucks like this out here in San Francisco, but I'm holding out hope that Fresh will start hosting more events like this all over the US. In the meantime, if you'll be around for the New York events, you can check out a map with the truck's exact locations when you keep reading.
