Philosophy Kiss Me Tonight Review & The Lip Slip Comparison I Know You Want!

Philosophy Kiss Me Tonight Intense Lip Therapy ($20)

This intense lip therapy keeps lips soft and in perfect kissable condition with an ultra-creamy formula. 'kiss me tonight' works on contact to soften roughness, relieve dryness and soothe seriously dry lips. This luxurious lip treatment helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, adds shape and definition and restores a healthy, rosy appearance.

Up until a year or two ago I never had issues with lip dryness, but it seems that as I get older my lips get dryer and dryer, and lately they've been crying out for a little pampering. Philosophy's Kiss Me Tonight is the ideal product for those of you who are looking for soft, pouty, kissable lips without stickiness or tackiness, and while I wouldn't call it an industrial strength lip salve, it's pretty fantastic in its own right!

Check out more photos, the full review and my Sara Happ Lip Slip comparison after the jump!


Unlike Lip Slip which is really quite tacky and soft, Philosophy's Kiss Me Tonight has a firm surface that you melt under your fingertips, and once glided across your lips, you'll notice an immediate smoothing/line-blurring effect. My favorite way to use this is directly under a long-wearing lipstick for all-day hydration and color ~ my lips have never felt so comfortable in lipsticks!


So how is Kiss Me Tonight different from Lip Slip? Well here's how I distinguish: Kiss Me Tonight is great for wearing under your daytime lip shades as it's non-sticky, fabulous as an everyday daytime treatment, and my balm of choice on warmer days. Lip Slip, on the other hand, is my lips' savior when colder weather rolls around and my lips are really in need of some TLC, and it's my go-to product when I'm looking for an overnight treatment that will leave my lips looking and feeling incredible lush and soft the next morning.

I can't recommend one over the other as the two products are quite different from each other, and I'm more than happy to now own both (thank you so much Elaine for sending this to me)! Stay tuned though as I've got a review coming your way of a lip moisturizer that I'm absolutely OBSESSED with and think you'll all love too.

The Lip Slip by Sara Happ Review & Swatches

The Lip Slip by Sara Happ: One Luxe Balm ($24)
and a moody cow keychain that says:
"helps keep a smile on your face when the whole world has gone mad"

Yet another review brought about as a result of the fabulous generosity of Nicole! I'd blogged about Sara Happ's Lip Slip HERE, then forgotten about it for a bit until Candace posted her thoughts on this product in a comment:

"Ladies, this is the only lip balm that has actually functioned like a lip balm for me. It has a little bit of shimmer in it, that doesn't really make your lips shimmery...just kind of....glowy. It is not thick, but not thin textured either....it has consistency and STAYS ON. It absorbs into your lips, and is a winner for me! I think I am going to order a couple more! I may give Jason a tub to use too, since when we get to Iraq it will wreak havoc on our faces and lips."

Now for those of you who don't know, Candace is the queen of lip products, whether they be lipsticks, glosses, conditioners, etc. You have a lip question, Candace can probably answer it--so when she says something good, it's going to be good!

So when I received a package in the mail from Nicole a few days back (thank you thank you!), I was ecstatic to see Sara Happ's Lip Slip in there. Apparently Nicole also tried it and loved it so much that she felt I had to have it =). And if I value anybody's opinion when it comes to products that I'll love, it's Nicole's.

First of all how cute is the little golden box that it comes in? The Lip Slip is seriously my new product obsession~it's just that good.



The first time that I used this I managed to make a rather large dent in the surface as I thought that this would be similar in texture to a Korres Lip Butter or Carmex (aka pretty solid)--but nope, it's a soft, gooey substance that reminds me of melted taffy. Slip into some of this and your lips will not only be sheathed in long-lasting moisture, but they'll take on this pretty, soft-focus glow.

A better look at the shimmery bits.

Lip Slip is infused with Sweet Almond, Jojoba & Macadamia nut oils, and makes an immediate and noticeable difference in the condition of your lips. Wear this as an overnight treatment and you'll awaken to soft, luscious pouty lips that'll have you wondering, "Are those mine?"; use it during the day for some subtle shimmer and shine and continued hydration.

Swatch of Lip Slip

The first time that I used this overnight I was seriously amazed by how soft and plump my lips looked the next morning. And while $24 may seem like (and admittedly is) a lot to pay for a lip treatment, The Lip Slip is easily the longest-wearing lip conditioner that I've ever tried. I can slick on some Lip Slip, eat breakfast, drink a bottle of water, have a snack, drink some more water, and make it through lunch with this stuff still clinging tenaciously to my lips--this stuff will easily last for 6-7 hours.

Lip Swatch of Lip Slip

The Lip Slip provides some major hydration--notice that all the little lines on my lips caused by dryness seem to have plumped up? I'm usually hesitant to recommend what I consider to be somewhat pricey products, but this is something that I'd definitely purchase for all my friends and loved ones, and I'd recommend that you do the same.

Nicole purchased her Lip Slip from B-Glowing and was more than happy with their CS so if you're interested in purchasing this, definitely click on over!
