Rosebud Salve is one of those beauty products that has an almost scary cult following of real addicts. Seriously, I’ve seen girls apply this stuff with the same intensity, urgency, and frequency of heavy smokers.

Unfortunately, finding this all-purpose lip balm in Paris proves difficult. After searching Sephoras throughout the cities as well as pharmacies carrying international products, I found it at, of all places, American Apparel on Rue du Temple in the 4th. The 4 euro tins are in the display case near the register. Unfortunately, I think I got the last one…stock seemed pretty low. There are, however, five other AA locations in Paris.
