What else you need to know: The Story of Sugar Plum Tinted Lip Treatment SPF 15 : "On a recent summer vacation, we spent time on a farm in France where there was a magnificent plum orchard that stretched to the horizon—plum trees as far as the eye could see. At first light, the sun would stream through the orchard, warming the irresistible, juicy plums. Ripe for the picking, I tasted one and was surprised at how the deep, dark skin of the plum gave way to a translucent burgundy pulp. Inspired by this unveiling, I created Sugar Plum Lip Treatment SPF 15, a dark bullet that delivers a mysteriously sheer and utterly sensuous tint."—Alina Roytberg, Fresh Co-founderSize: 0.15 oz

Makeup Addict found this in Beauty Editors' Picks as one of This Month's Best Beauty finds for InStyle, July. I could not miss their headline size endorsement "It's got a citrusy taste and a bit of a tingle..  I can't stop reapplying".  I have to say that sounds absolutely perfect for a citrus nut like me!
