Lip Temptations
While temptations come in all forms, Jason Lip Temptations moisturizing lip tints have just been introduced in three fun and spirited shades-Jewel, deep bronze shimmer, Icing, barely-there white shimmer, and Passion, rich raspberry shimmer. Lip Temptations sooth, condition and protect lips with shiny, sheer color and a hint of mint flavor. These all-natural moisturizing lip tints contain green tea and Vitamin E to hydrate lips and derive their color from natural minerals. Lip Temptations are available in stores now.
Sunbrellas
To increase protection from the sun's harmful rays, Jason extends Sunbrellas(R) family of year-round, all-natural sun protection and creates two new formulas-Facial Block SPF 20, a lightweight, daytime moisturizer that is perfect for year-round protection of delicate facial skin, and Chemical Free Sun Block SPF 30+ with natural botanicals, micronized titanium dixoxide and zinc oxide, natural minerals that deflect the sun's damaging rays.
