The Product That Reignited My Love Affair With Lipstick If you were to look inside any of my purses, you'd find multiple lipsticks lost in the depths. Being in the beauty business, it's safe to say I've tried hundreds of lipsticks. But trying to find the perfect one can leave me feeling like I'm facing a Goldilocks-like dilemma -- they're too chalky and drying, too smudge-able or they require constant reapplication, which is why I typically stick to tinted lip balms. But I've finally found one that's just right: Urban Decay Matte Revolution Lipstick, $22.
The shades are all insanely pigmented (my personal faves include Menace, a hot pink, and 1993, a grunge-y, '90s-inspired brown-nude), and they manage to be matte without drying out my lips or drawing attention to lines. The supercreamy formula is filled with nourishing ingredients like avocado, olive and babassu oils, plus shea butter. It's crazy easy to apply straight from the tube, and it lasts forever. To put its staying power into perspective, consider this: It lasted through two meals and countless cups of coffee before I needed to touch it up. The spark has been reignited in my relationship with lipstick -- this one definitely won't end up lost at the bottom of my bag. --Allie Flinn
