Pure Illumination

The Lano Company's Pure Illumination is one of the more innovative lip gloss products on the market. This unique 3-in-1 lip gloss comes complete with a LED light and a mirror, so you can apply it in virtually any conditions.

Pure Illumination is a lanolin-based lip treatment that works wonders for dry, chapped lips. In addition to the medical-grade lanolin, Pure Illumination lip gloss combines the following healing ingredients: jojoba, sweet almond oil and vitamin E.

The lanolin hydrates, moisturizes and conditions your lips, so if you're prone to dryness or chapping, this kind of lip therapy is a good choice.

Pure Illumination currently comes in Brown Frost, Wine Berry, Pouty Pink and Clear.

I tried the Pouty Pink, which is subtle enough to work with different complexions. It has a bit of a shimmer and goes on smoothly - not sticky at all.

I love the built-in mirror on the side. That sort of thing is always handy when you're out and about. The push button LED light is said to last up to 100 hours, but I haven't yet had a chance to test that out.

Overall, Pure Illumination is a great lip gloss if you have dry lips thanks to the natural hydrating formula.
