There are so many ways Joanna Gaines inspires us. Whether it's ways to update our kitchen, new recipes to try, or even what to throw in our makeup bags, we fully trust her recommendations.
Jo talked about her makeup staples in an old Magnolia Blog and mentioned she always keeps the Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm in her bag because she hates the feeling of her lips getting dry or chapped. Who doesn't? The best part is, it's $10 for one tube, or you can get three for $22!
Jack Black is actually a popular skincare brand for men, but many of its products can be used on anyone. The people behind the company are very open about the ingredients that go into the products. The Intense Therapy Lip Balm contains FDA approved petroleum, shea butter, avocado oil, vitamin E, and green tea so it's actually nourishing to your lips. Plus, it has SPF in it! And if you're wondering, no, the Jack Black brand does not belong to everyone's favorite comedic actor Jack Black, they just happen to have the same name.
I use the lip balm myself and it's one of the only products I'll put on my lips! I started using it a few years ago after experiencing allergic reactions to other popular lip balms on the market. The tube from Jack Black is the only thing that actually soothes my lips when they're dry. I keep one in my bathroom, one in my makeup bag, and one in my purse. I keep them everywhere.
Iconic actress Minni Driver also is a fan of the lip balm! She raved about it while sharing her nighttime skincare routine with Harper's Bazaar. "I've tried every lip balm because I have quite dry skin and very dry lips. This lip balm by Jack Black is the greatest lip balm in the world."
If it's approved by Joanna Gaines and Minnie Driver, two women who have probably tried hundreds of different products from being behind the camera, I'm all in.
And in case you missed it, Jo recently announced the 9th Annual Silo-bration is officially happening October 10-12 in Waco! The weekend is going to be filled with shopping, events, musical performances, and of course a special appearance from Chip and Jo!
We love shopping faves and recs from the design queen and have to leave a few more below that get the Joanna stamp of approval!
