Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Shea Butter Lip Balm ($3.99) is one of several new lip balms that the brand introduced recently to their permanent collection which tempted me because I’m a lip balm aficionado (aka obsessed lip balm user).

It’s funny as I was at Ulta recently and was shocked, surprised, and rather delighted that they had so many of the latest Shea Moisture products. Of course, I was instantly drawn to the new Shea Butter Lip Balms but the price wasn’t listed and I was having a senior moment and thought they were $8.99 each.

They are easy to apply and create super fast looks that accent my drier, finely lined eyes easily.

Let’s check out Bandit!
