10 Toxic-Free Lip Colours to Feel Good Wearing This Spring

A Canadian favourite this Toronto based brand takes its name from the idea that the ingredients in their lipsticks are so good you can literally eat them (although, we prefer them on our mouths rather than in them). This in addition to the option to custom make your very own shade (including texture and scent!) in various locations, make this a stand out on the list.

As for the a la carte shade offerings, we’re head over heels for this long lasting, waterproof, bright orange-coral shade named Orange Fizz.
