The true sign of a beauty editor: at least 10 loose lip products lingering at the bottom of every bag, three in each coat pocket, and a stockpile of roughly 30 in a vanity drawer. I’ve tried just about every formula and shade in existence; lip balms, glosses, lipsticks, oils, liners—you name it. I have my fair share of favorites (as does my 56-year-old mother Mindy, who has a habit of not-so-stealthily stealing them), with brands like Charlotte Tilbury, Sisley-Paris, and MAC taking top spots. But this past weekend, my mom and I agreed on a new go-to that, frankly, puts every other gloss to shame. The product in question: Sarah Creal’s No Further Questions Peptide Lip Gloss.
The $40 gloss is available in six shades: soft pink, merlot, rose pink, nude peach, nude sparkle, and a bronzy mauve shimmer. As with all of Sarah Creal’s products, the gloss is designed with women over 40 in mind, which means it was created to provide a cushiony finish for lips prone to fine lines and dryness. But does it live up to the hype? Mindy and I put it to the test.
