Tatcha's lip balm is as good as gold

Some people can’t fathom spending a lot of money on a lip balm, and I totally get it. No, there’s no NEED to drop a bundle of cash on something you (should) have multiples of, but in some cases a splurge is worth it—especially if it sparks joy every time you use it. Tatcha’s Camellia Gold Spun Lip Balm is the perfect example.

Just when your expectations are exceeded with the super-luxurious packaging, which is a lovely box with ribbon pull, you actually lay eyes on this gilded treasure. With pieces of gold leaf interspersed throughout the balm, it's a glittery treat—and it feels fantastic on your lips and has no taste or scent. It’s totally clear but leaves a slight glossy finish, making it perfect for wear on its own, or over lipstick. And this balm is more than eye candy... It contains super-hydrating camellia oil and squalane, along with a bunch of vitamins and antioxidants. 

My husband even took notice when he happened to be by my bathroom sink one evening, and it was a great chance for me to reiterate my love for anything gold (hint, hint). So if a new gilded bauble isn’t in the cards, treat yourself to this beautiful balm and you’ll enjoy a bit of sparkle every time you use it.
