This is more than a room mist… it instantly creates calm, shifts your mood and sets the tone for the room. Fragrances designed in Grasse, France & Made in Michigan
4 - Pistachio Milk Latte Lip Treatment by Iota x Táche
A true obsession! the flavor really captures the nutty and indulgent nature of Táche’s pistachio milk & lattes and the balm itself is the strongest super-moisturizer I’ve known (also I never lose this one in my purse thanks to its vibrant green!)

As a minimal makeup-wearer, I always feel a little more put together when I use this matte lip stain & an amazed at how long it stays on!
