HiShop Brilliant Lipcare Set 1-3 Beauty Review

Whenever I look in the mirror and see my crack lips I always tend to wince in dismay.

Of course in our humid and hot weather, this is a common issue amongst boys and girls alike.

However for girls, we always enjoy trying on different types of lip colors - be it lipstick, lip balm- you name it but a common problem with this is that the color won't last and the skin will begin to peel.

On my end this was my unfortunate issue and even though I have tried all sorts of remedies to  keep them hydrated, my lip still remains cracked and dry.
