At Saffron Rouge, they evaluate every ingredient so you don’t have to. All the products you see on their website are made without the plastics, silicones, petroleum, artificial fragrances, dyes, and other unsafe ingredients found in most beauty products, and are guaranteed to give you results. (But I would still Always read the label just to double check).

If I had to pick One make-up item I would not leave the house with, it would have to be lip color.  And I just found a natural lip stain today while watching my favorite make-up artists' most recent video on her June favorites:)  

I stopped using creamy lipsticks almost a decade ago and switched to lip stains, which last all day and don't rub off on anything (unless you put make-up remover on it or a petrolium jelly...which u don't want to do anyways). And I'm so happy to know there is a natural lip stain that isn't made from...well, from whatever my current ones are made of, which I really don't want to know. So I was super excited when the product found me because I wasn't even searching for it today. There are actually 2 lip applicators that open from each end, one is the lip stain and the other is the gloss to put over it.

Rise & Shine- natural lip stain & lip-enhancing lip gloss

The gel-based lip tint imparts a natural rosy glow that stays all day, while the lip-enhancing
gloss gives the appearance of fuller lips, for a pout that's pretty and polished. So even after
gloss wears away the lip tint remains!
