Lips never get a dull moment with this cherry lipstick that looks more like a lip splash. What I really like about Avon’s Cherry Glow is the texture. It’s not a lip paint that dries, it’s more of a stay-put color that feels smooth and not gooey. It doesn’t run around your mouth like most reds and it has a seriously sensational shine.

I’ve always loved Paul and Joe Beaute for their ultra clean and nourishing approach to cosmetics. This Spring they have launched three new shades for lips that look and feel as clean as their ingredients and also are uber trendy. The Pavot (poppy) makes my heart sing and the Tulipe is a red that complements all but few. Keep your eye on this beauty line. It’s fresh.

Let’s just say this red is something that isn’t meant for first time users. Its Mega Color is megawatt and transferable, which isn’t always bad. Just think, it’s perfect for branding your smooching partner!

Oh yes, there is a red for everyone. This little pot of conditioning stain is a lip saver and will give you that just-bitten allure. Think along the lines of Benefit’s Benetint, but with a much less fragrant taste and a skin-friendlier shade!

A few years ago, everyone flocked to counters when Dr. Perricone claimed to firm and diminish those pesky little lines around your kisser. Well, we tried it, and after a few weeks saw little but welcome results in the claims. Now Kinerase has a little tube with about 3 times the punch of Perricone’s. Lips also peel and chap less. It even works faster than- well, do we even have to mention the other guy???
