A Very Fine Thing
"You've got some pretty great stuff in here."
Lorac It Girl
Love this color, plus Lorac is the only lipstick that doesn’t make me gag over its stickiness.
Supergoop Save Face
SPF 35 in a silky, but full-coverage moisturizer. Exactly as no-fuss as I need it to be. #9.
Chantecaille Protection Naturelle
Like Bare Minerals on steroids. Except Protection Naturelle would never take steroids. (Also: SPF 46) #6.
Rodin Olio Lusso Lip Balm
I love the subtle shimmer, plus the gorgeous scent. Truly kissable lips. #4.
Super Tinted SPF
I’ve been looking for something to replace my heavenly (discontinued) Cosmedicine for a long time. This may be the ticket.
Tarte Celebutante
It’s a moisturizer, a shimmerer, and a magic stick all in one. Apply this to key areas to create the definition you wish you’d won in the gym, and as a bonus, you’ll be moisturized too.
Serengeti
1. Sue Devitt makes the best colors for my face. 2. This eye palette almost makes me think I could wear an eye look every day.
La Mer The SPF
Tinted moisturizer with SPF to make the morning go a little faster. Plus, everything by La Mer smells so delicious your nose will be playing puppy all day inhaling that fresh scent.
Crude and Lovely
We love to be a little crude, sometimes rude, but never out of control. Put your perfect pout in action with a little Crude lip balm.
Star Light Star Bright
Fresh’s Holiday set — four things for just a few bucks more than the usual price of one.
Clinique Superbalance
It sounds a little magic, but this stuff is supposed to adapt to your face throughout the 8 hours it lasts. Also, it’s brilliant invention that may make me leave Bare Escentuals? Portion controlled makeup – no more messy overflow.
YSL Gloss Volupte
Light and sheer with just the right feel (no wet or sticky lips, even after multiple reapplications). My chosen shade is above; three more to choose from.
Marvelous Minera Mascara
Who doesn’t like a little alliteration? Anyway, this stuff is all natural and still packs a punch – and it’s [a little] cheaper than the rest of the designer mascara herd. Love it.
Organic Orb
Luscious organic lip balm packaged in a cute little orb, it’ll never get lost inside that thing you call a purse.
Sue Devitt Beausoleil
This is the product that lets me pretend not to be ghost-white without staining me orange all summer.
Laura Mercier Perfect Face
Face falling flat lately? This is the perfect picker-upper to turn things around.
Peter Thomas Roth Lashes
They say if you apply nightly, you’ll see fuller and thicker lashes in a dash. (And it’s funny how the promise of better lashes will tempt any otherwise rational lady to spend $125.)
Hakansson Balm
The best thing to happen to my lips since, well, sliced bread hasn’t been kind to my lips or my hips. The point is this stuff is good. Not sticky, not shiny, just silky smooth moisture.
Deluxe Lipstick
Coach’s foray into makeup isn’t important for the quality of the lipstick so much as the packaging.
Rosebud Salve
Long the chosen lip-saver of women in the know, Rosebud smells good, looks good, and feels good. It adds just a hint of pink to the pout, and this little tin lasts forever.
And if you want just a little more variety, get the triple pack: Rosebud, Minted Rose, and Strawberry Salve too.
Mentha Cinnamint
The C.O. Bigelow lip shines are all pretty good, but I love the smell of light cinnamon for winter.
