I purchased this also in a beauty supply store and just about lost my mind when it did everything it said it would do. It is truly lip therapy._x000D_

I sell cosmetics and lips are my specialty, but in order for your lip color to really look rich or natural, you simply must start with healthy hydrated lips. We have all seen those ladies with lips that look like little razor blades with lipstick on them! it's gross and nasty! _x000D_

With Ruby Kisses Hydrating Oil, your lips look even better bare. One more thing that may be important for others like me. I sleep with a C-PAP mask on my face that use to dry my lips out terribly, but with this product my lips are still moist in the morning. But the real litmus test is the fact that I live in Colorado, one of the driest states ever. The major complaint here in chronic chapped lip and nosebleeds at night because of the dryness._x000D_

I don't have that problem anymore. It is truly economical because it last so incredibly long. I have used one tube for almost 9 months. Use a generous amount before bed, and just a dab only to lightly coat the lips before lip color. You are gonna love this stuff.
