Tony and Tina

Finally, a little tribute. We stocked up big time when our all-time favorite lip gloss went the way of the departed, along with the entire line of make-up and cosmetics from Tony and Tina.

Tony and Tina probably made the best lip glosses ever created in the history of lip glosses. They had a Divine Lip Shine (we love the Loving; that’s a color) and a Herbal Aroma Therapy Gloss and an Herbal Lip Quartz. And before Burt's Bee's Lip Shimmer, we were wholly, utterly enamored of the little tube of Tony and Tina's Tinted Lip Balm. All were wonderful.

Our eyes are filled with tiny tears right now. We miss them. Although we will tell you a secret: you can still find the products on Ebay. Don’t buy the lipstick, which was totally yummylicious, too, but if the person who has it hasn’t refrigerated it, it doesn’t last. The gloss seems to fare better, do put it in the fridge if you’re stocking up.

This gloss not only lasts forever -- Forever! -- but smells wonderful, feels AMAZING on your lips. It's just the best gloss ever. Sniff.
