Sunday while we were all talking at the tasting my friend, Leanne, fished around in her giant purse and carefully extracted a small tin of lip balm. She put a small amount of the pink substance on her lips and then handed the canister over to me. Never one to turn down “goo” (as Peter refers to beauty products), I followed suit. Fast-forward to me sitting at my desk at work this morning. I had to have that lip balm. Open gmail, email Leanne.

So what was this mysterious substance that had me counting down the hours until I could drive to Sephora?  It wasn’t lip balm. It was actually Smith’s Rosebud Salve.

The smooth finish that this leaves on my lips makes me quite happy. As I type I’m rubbing my lips together. It’s quite heavenly and the smell is amazing! If you put some on and close your eyes its as if you are standing in an English garden. Who wouldn’t want that? I will admit that after learning that this is a salve and not an official lip balm, I quickly contemplated rubbing it all over and basking in the glorious spring smell. I think that may be a sign that we need to plant more flowers :)
