Clinique Lip Color Sticks

I am just loving Clinique's simplistic response to lipstick, with the Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm. Clinique's makeup is second only to its fragrances, but is definitely worth checking out. This one contains mango and shea butters, so your dry lips will be transformed into something soft and smooth. It gives them the most subtle sheen! Try the Mega Melon shade: Costs $16. Warning: reviews say the product is great but is smaller than appearances indicate. 

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.

Look amazing and support a cause

Nude colors are my favorite on a Friday night. When I go to a classy dinner it looks understated but clearly different from the usual. MAC Viva Glam Gaga Lipstick is great because its purchase benefits the MAC AIDS fund (see title link). For just $14.50, you have a great warm beige that looks amazing on anyone, and it's limited edition so get yours quickly! Truly is one of the best lipsticks I've seen in a makeup collection.

Designer Lipstick

Dior Addict is the new fashion lipstick - a force to be reckoned with. What shine! What color! And hydrating and volumizing to boot (see title link). Costs $28. Available at Sephora.

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!

Lipstick

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick uses LiquiSilk to seal in color and softness to condition your lips and look fashionable. My favorite color is Just Enough Buff (see title link).
