$\"Gravatar\"$ I've never tried any Darphin products before but they have almost their entire range at the store where I purchase my makeup at. I once asked a sales associate about the line and she said while they do carry terrific products, most of them aren't really worth the price and you can find cheaper alternatives that do just as well.

$\"Gravatar\"$ But cheap beauty products are not good for your skin lol..

$\"Gravatar\"$ Darphin makes the most fantastic deodorant which contains no parabens or aluminum salts, and it smells divine! It won't keep you completely dry, but it is much healthier for you. Kristen, so glad you are back! Do you have a recommendation for a facial sunscreen (with a high SPF) that will not cause breakouts? My skin isn't oily, but breaks out very easily.

$\"Gravatar\"$ Sargunan - it wasn't like she was recommending drug store brands over Darpin- she was recommending me to maybe look at a $150 Skinceuticals product vs. a $240 Darphin product. My point was that there are just as good products out there and just because they aren't charging $240 for 1.7 oz. doesn't mean they aren't great products.

$\"Gravatar\"$ Yay spa smell! Except in my mind, the spa smell is cucumber-ish with a lot of peppermint. This Darpin lip balm reminds me of the La Mer lip balm. Similar in texture and in ridiculous price. I don't question how well they both work, but I also don't doubt that their steep price make it hard for many of us to use it religiously.

$\"Gravatar\"$ I love Kiehl's lip balm-though the price leaves something to be desired! Though, I have to say, drugstore lip balms are either not moisturizing at all, or have one of those fake-vanilla, fruity scents. Yuck!

$\"Gravatar\"$ There is not much of a better feeling than leaving a spa. If you can simulate that feeling it is bound to be great.

$\"Gravatar\"$ Don't know if I can stomach the idea of spending that much on lip balm...Especially since its primary selling point is the scent. Sounds like one of those snob-products (also known as status products) that are more about the scent or the packaging than the actual product. D:

$\"Gravatar\"$ I couldn't spend that much on lip balm. Plus, I've always been annoyed thinking about lips aging. Do the actual lips look aged? Don't all lips have wrinkles lol? I'll never understand that.

$\"Gravatar\"$ I totally trust you on this one, Kristen. But I am honestly not sure I could part with $40 on lip balm!
