Drunk Lips

This morning I had in front of me Malin + Goetz Mojito Lip Balm ($12, malinandgoetz.com), a joint effort between the cheeky bath and body company and 10 Cane Rum. Now I don’t know about you, but when I see a product with the words "mojito" and "rum" in the mix, I think it’s going to have some kick. But I applied the clear lip gel and waited a minute. Nothing. Then I licked my lips. Still nothing. Uh, where’s the rum? On the website I read the explanation: The natural mint and lime extract in the balm are meant to be reminiscent of a 10 Cane mojito.

Oh, I see. Well, thanks for making me want a mojito at 11 a.m.
