MAC Slimshine LipstickMAC Slimshine Lipstick has a creamy formula that gives lips a healthy dose of moisture. The slim, sleek, compact tube is not only chic but also makes it easier to apply color neatly without a mirror. Expect color to come out sheer but to closely resemble what it looks like in the tube. As for shine, there is some, but it's ...More |

Bourjois Docteur GlamourMmmm. Mango , shea butter and vegetable oils make lips feel slicker than a raincoat (in a good way). While some may find the feeling too rich, the formula is super-hydrating. Colors, which can come off easily, should be tried on as the packaging doesn't convey their boldness. The tube's bishop-like exterior, with a silver b...More |

Ulta Silky Wear Lip ColorThese creamy colors come in popular shades like Spice and Berry and cost less than a small latte. The "natural emollients" advertised (hydrating vegetable oil and illuminating mica) keep lips soft and shiny with minimal stick, but it's hard to buy the "natural" schtick in a product that's got parabens an...More |

Benefit Silky Finish LipstickBenefit's Silky Finish Lipstick is a lipstick for gloss lovers. It applies smoothly, feels silky on and even looks a bit like an opaque gloss at first.

The flattering peach, rose, mauve or brown tones are fairly universal and the slim, twist-u...More |

Revlon Renewist LipColorLips do feel rich, smooth and full, but the patent-pending "ProCollagen Moisture Core" -- while it looks cool -- seems hokey. We'd love it for it's moisture-boosting power alone, but the nutty claims about reducing fine lines "over time" are just too much. Rich colors contain light, yummy scents (i.e. ra...More |

Almay Truly Lasting Color LipstickIf applying gloss every hour isn't your style, skip this two-step lipstick. Dainty packaging, nice shade selection and promise of moisture-rich color for "up to" 12 hours are inviting. Adolescent shimmer and a pesky wait for color to dry are minuses, but the look is comparable to Chanel Rouge Allure with gloss ove...More |

Revlon ColorStay Soft & Smooth Lipcolor"Ahh, just a little bit longer ... " When Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons released "Stay," Revlon should've taken notes. This lipstick tube (the only thing "long" about the product) does hold a silky, smooth lip color, but it won't last. Mine faded after a few smooches and a lasagna dinner. ...More |
