Osmia Organics $18 Lip Glosses are powered by beets!
Osmia Organics’ Lip Glosses beet up dryness somethin’ fierce! They’re veggie-rific!
OK…sorry, that was just terrible. I’m not 100% awake yet.

At any rate, these lightweight, non-sticky lip glosses by Osmia Organics ($18 each), a boutique organic bath and appeal line based in Colorado, are a lot more like balms than glosses, really.
They represent my maiden voyage trying the brand, and I see that they also make all kinds of neat-looking soaps and body products.
The glosses consist of beets! Isn’t that cool? Presumably it’s for color, but I’m not absolutely sure.

I am weirdly stoked about the whole idea (because you know me and root vegetables — we’re tight like that).
Shimmer (an orange), whisper (pink) and appeal (a red)
As someone whose lips are nearly always hella dry, I’m always on the market for a new vegetable…
Wait — I indicated “new moisturizing gloss.” and my lips have been a little less uneasy considering that Shimmer, whisper and appeal entered my life.

Some thoughts on the three Lip Gloss shades from the perspective of a perpetually dry-lipped girl…
Moisture — Off the hook! The hydrating ingredient-ology includes Cupuaçu butter (related to cacao), and GMO-free vitamin E oil, both of which are high on the ingredient list.
Finish and coverage — all of them are quite sheer. I can’t deny that I was hoping the colors would be a lot more intense, and distinct from each other, but all three of them look a lot more or less the same on my pigmented lips.
Flavor and scent — Hmm… Waxy and earthy? I can’t say it’s my favorite scent, but it does seem natural, I guess.
Formula and texture — utterly adverbially excessively great. just lots of “ly” words to the extreme. They feel light, slick, non-sticky and smooth on my lips, but that lightness of the formula may also be why they don’t last very long. I get less than an hour of wear time from them and have to reapply often.

I don’t feel the need to carry all three of them with me wherever I go, considering that they are quite sheer and do look similar on my pigmented lips, but I like the moisturizing formula enough to roll with at least one tube in my tas.
If your thirsty lips do like organic appeal products and don’t mind a limited wear time, they’re a good option.
PRICE: $18 for a 0.04-ounce tube

Do you remember the red and blue cat dress I drooled over at Anthropologie a while back?
Love this dress!
