V-day is just around the corner. Let's be honest -- you probably don't want to go spending big bucks right now on gifts.
But you can still treat yourself or a friend or your mom to a fun treat without breaking the bank.
1) This year skip the chocolates ...
From Bare Escentuals' Buxom line ... a great cherry-colored plumping lip polish in "Charity" red that supports the fight against heart disease in women.
$18 sephora
2) From Avon -- adorable lip balms that soothe parched lips and make you feel like a kid again.
And, at $.99 you can't go wrong.
Tuck one in your pocket -- and keep one at work.
These balms are guaranteed to make you feel better and they're calorie-free.
3) Need to keep your lips shiny and moist? Try Miss Oops' Pucker Protector, the balm that's dressed like a gloss. It has SPF protection and freshens the breath with a minty scent. Can be used under or over lipstick.
