Crossing streets and avenues, surpassing thick layers of concrete, steel and glass; moving beyond interwoven crossings amongst dwellings, passages and passersby…
With lips stocked, moving forward, tuning in and zoning out thanks to the aid of mobile media and sunglasses in tow, we’re able to declutter the mind, nourishing our own vision and experiences in public, privately.
Breaking en route to your lunch hour escape or post-work haunt, find an open space, sit back and create your own experience… in the words of Salvador Dali*,
‘The best cinema is the kind that can be perceived with your eyes closed.’
*In case you missed the Dali exhibit at the MoMa in NYC, stay tuned to future shows and events at DaliNet.com.
We would again like to extend our many thanks and support to writer and editor Stancie Wilson, Co-Founder of Fig+Sage and contributing writer to Feelgood Style- an informative eco-lifestyle blog with an exploratory and expansive vision:
‘Style is and has always been a reflection of our dreams, imagination, and aspirations for our selves and our world. In a time of growing consciousness about how our choices literally do change the world, style is more important than ever. Ultimately, it is not simply awareness and concern that matters - it is our inspiration and our willingness to embrace intriguing new ways of caring, living, and being that will create our future. Feelgood Style is about sharing that inspiration and dreaming with joy about that future.’
‘LIPSTOCK: For On-The-Go Pampering… Have I mentioned I’m a lip balm addict? Yes, I do confess; but you won’t find me recommending every organic lip balm on the planet. Because well, I do have my standards
‘But make no mistake, it’s not a balm or gloss, it’s LIPSTOCK and it’s a Lip Conditioner designed for on-the-go pampering. When you’re in a suit or a cocktail dress, do you really want to be seen pulling out your ninety-nine cents tube of (petroletum filled) Chapstick? I didn’t think so. Why? Because (like me) you want something better, something nicer; something you won’t hesitate pulling out of a good looking handbag. (And something you don’t mind consuming, because if it’s on your lips you will be eating it!). Or perhaps you’re a stay-at-home mom who would gladly welcome a little pampering in your life amongst the dirty diapers and showerless days.
‘Arriving wrapped in recycled paper like candy, housed in a non-descript modern tube, I had the pleasure of discovering a pure assortment of nurturing oils. I don’t recall ever seeing such nourishing ingredients like watermelon seed oil, cranberry oil and black raspberry seed oil in a lip product. Not only that but the organic shea butter, avocado & beeswax are all USDA certified organic. It’s not greasy, nor is it thick and it won’t disappear with a lick or kiss. With no added flavor or fragrance, it twists up like lipstick and is great for smoothing lips so your color can glide on flawlessly. And you can be sure these tubes haven’t been sitting on a shelf for months because they are made to order and arrive fresh!
‘Plans are in the works to launch a color line next year. I can’t wait to find out more when the time comes…and you can be sure I’ll fill you in on the details!

Break the force of habit: out-dated beauty rituals…
Pumping your mascara - pushing in air causes the formula to cake and clump
Rubbing fragrance - friction encourages the loss of the scent’s natural undertones
Applying lip balm constantly? - an unneeded force of habit amongst many
No need to apply a lip conditioner every few minutes. Unlike common petroleum based lip balms of yore, LIPSTOCK CHAPSTOCK is designed to be applied one to three times daily and developed to be non-addictive. Balancing light and intensive, natural and organic ingredients; like a face cream, the formula is creamy and penetrating upon application, providing lasting, softening results throughout the course of a day’s speeches, sips and kisses.
If old habits die hard, then new habits live with LIPSTOCK CHAPSTOCK - softer lips, anyone?…

Note: LIPSTOCK CHAPSTOCK can appease a bad habit over time, but it just can’t quite seem to cure a new common one: BlackBerry Thumb(do we feel this!)
Teen Vogue’s Beauty Director, Eva Chen, made a sweet mention on their blog of the LIPSTOCK CHAPSTOCK cream lip conditioner, calling it ‘just fantastic’… and we just found out, a month after their posting! (Note to self, subscribe to this feed.)
As per Eva, ‘for all you lip balm addicts out there…I recently discovered a new lip balm, Lipstock Chapstock Cream Lip Conditioner, that is just fantastic. No bells and whistles, just an ultra-natural (no fragrance or preservatives), good-natured (it’s cruelty free and has lots of organic ingredients) balm. Check it out at lipstockist.com for $15…’
A belated thank you to Eva and Teen Vogue! [Also, thanks to our friend Jessica for the tip!]

LIPSTOCK HQ would like to share and send a special thank you to writer Yvonne Lynch, creator of the information-packed and tremendously inspirational eco-beauty and lifestyle blog, Flawless Beauty:
‘a good solid Lipstock… Tired of reapplying your chapstick every five minutes? For lips that can’t quite seem to remain soft and supple, Lipstock is a wonderful cream lip conditioner definitely worth trying out. Made with all natural conditioning ingredients such as Watermelon seed oil, Organic Avocado oil and Shea butter. Your lips will gain everything except for that annoying feeling of dryness that comes with using the standard petroleum based lip balm.’
Here’s to those full summer weekends enjoying time with loved ones… traveling, savoring wine, having dinner with friends, and temporarily swapping the city for the beach. Revitalization and wellness need not be only for those times when our calenders are (finally) open. They can be obtained from anywhere, at any time:
book a last-minute spa appointment on a hot summer weekend, when most spa-regulars have been primed in time for their escape to the beach
if you have 15 minutes, play a yoga DVD, and bring yourself to the mat
or grab your favorite Yogi Tea and allow wellness to overflow with every sip
Just be careful not to spill your tea…like we did.
First released in 2007 at one Manhattan spa, to positive client feedback. Created out of a desire to have an effective lip conditioner that felt balanced in quality. To create a formula that was neither greasy or watered-down, clean and simply formulated with legible ingredients; free of fillers, and toxins. After 31 prototypes, the product was leaked for consumer feedback. Responses included a feeling of mobile-pampering, restoring and luxurious as a trusted face cream, as well as an appreciation for the simple, clean lines of the modern design. To the delight of clients, the product name seemed the obvious twist for a lip conditioner under a brand named ‘LIPSTOCK’.
LIPSTOCK CHAPSTOCK provides a cream texture and a satin finish. For bare lips, create a soft, luminous effect by applying the cream lip conditioner over the entire lip area, slightly surpassing the contour of the natural lip shape. For color-lovers, apply once to prepare lips prior to shade application, then apply midday when refreshing existing lip color. As part of your morning and evening beauty rituals, apply as little or as often as desired to maintain healthy lip care. Request a Free Sample
