Hot Mamas Know; Lips o’ Butter

Welcome to the first ever episode of Hot Mamas Know! Where real women share their best secrets for looking and feeling our finest. (catch up on the full details here)

Here’s my tip of the month…

Lips o’ butter

A friend and I were in Munich several years ago, walking down the street, when we passed by a drug store. My friend (literally) shrieked and jumped 5 feet in the air.

“Labello!” she screamed.

My friend is always amusing to travel with, but I couldn’t imagine what could be so scream-worthy. Whatever it was, it had to be GOOD.

“Huh?” I asked.

“Labello! The BEST CHAPSTICK EVER!! We must get some!”

Chapstick? Seriously?

Now I enjoy soft lips as much as the next gal. But come on, what’s there to get all hot and bothered about when it comes to chapstick?

And then I met Labello. And was promptly and whole-heartedly addicted to that little blue tube.

Soft… smooth… creamy. No waxy finish like the American brands. No oddly sweet flavors. Just pure, dreamy, lip-smackin’ velvety goodness. My lips crave it. Seriously.

Which posed a problem when my blue tube o’ delights ran out, because you can’t GET Labello in the US. And so, like a junky, I found myself begging and pleading with everyone I know who’s visiting Europe, knows someone who’s visiting Europe, or knows someone who knows someone who’s visiting Europe. “Can you pleeeeeease pick me up some Labello?” I wheedle and whine. It’s pathetic, seriously.

Until now! I recently learned that you can get Labello this side of the Atlantic at this site. It’s rather expensive ($15 with shipping), but it’s soooo worth it.

Oh, and if you’re in Europe? You TOTALLY have to get me some.
