Billy B Beauty Retractable Lip Brush

Billy B Beauty’s Retractable Lip Brush is the one lip brush that outshines all of the others. The brush slides in and out easily, making it a mess-free solution for your handbag. It’s compact too, so it won’t take up much space. I’ve been loving it for several months now.
