Pop of color

Cheap lipsticks that work are the best. Maybelline New York sells this Color Sensational Lipcolor for just $7 (see title link). If you try the Coral Crush shade, it gives your lips a nice fruit-punch sort of look with just a swipe or glide across the bottom lip. Just outline your lips in this color before filling and you'll see the results. Contains honey nectar for great moisture, so your face will brighten up! Pure, rich color, nourishing lipstick, and works best if you start at the center of your upper lip for blending.

YSL Lips

YSL Volupte Sheer Candy Lip Color is an expensive ($30) but effective ruby shade in Luscious Cherry! You can create a great smudged stain for your lips by blending, and YSL Beauty US really does a good job with their products. The glossy balm is so brilliant (see title link) and filled with antioxidants to help keep you moisturized!

CoverGirl

CoverGirl has a new lip perfection collection and their Lipcolor is more moisturizing than ever. With 44 different shades, you'll definitely find one you like (my favorite is Burn). Your lips will get smoother in the process, too! What's more beautiful? Costs $7.99 (see title link). Love lipstick!

N.Y.C. New York Color

N.Y.C. New York Color has a new Smooch Proof Long Wearing Lip Color. I love the two steps included: conditioning color and vitamin-enriched gloss. The Heartbreaker 485A shade is my favorite, but there are 10 shades to choose from! It gives you a dramatic look and really does last 10 hours. My lips dry really easily with lipsticks, but this one keeps them well-moisturized so I don't feel cakey. Depending on the drugstore you buy it from (see title link), it costs anywhere between $3.99 and $4.99, which is still a bargain!
