Here at Fat and the Moon, we like to think of ourselves as minimal maximalists. Stacking functions brings us divine joy (and light toiletry bags). The Lip & Cheek Stain embodies this minimal/maximal philosophy: a versatile plant-based stain for the lips and cheeks, not too pink, a little red wine-y a, little black berry-y, and free of heavy metal (the bad kind!). .5 fl oz Deep Dive: Alkanet Root gives this stain its rich color and earthy scent, with just a touch of Rose Geranium essential oil. Rose Geranium is used in aromatherapy to reduce nervousness and tension, and is known to support the overall health of your skin. HEADS (NOSES) UP: Some find the smell of Alkanet Root to be too earthy for their tastes—Alkanet has a flave akin to Valerian root. Give Ruby Red a try for a similar hue, but with a citrusy scent! Ritual: A little dab of this stuff on the apples of your cheeks and on your lips adds just the right dose of color.
