LORAC Cream Lipstick in Baby Doll

Anyone who has searched for that perfect pale pink lipstick knows it's like finding a needle in a haystack. Most end up being too sheer and therefore not showing up that well, on top of needing to be reapplied every two minutes.

And then I found LORAC Baby Doll lipstick--a pink pastel that packs a punch. The cream formula goes on with substantial satin coverage and has stupendous staying power--not to mention it smells like candy.

Lining lips for dimension seems to be especially critical when dealing with light shades--and this one is no exception. Try pairing this with a shimmering grey smoky eye for a look that says "meow!"

LORAC Mocktail in Sex on the Beach

When it comes to cocktails, my m.o. is Bacardi and Diet Coke, but with LORAC Mocktail lip gloss, I'm all about Sex on the Beach.

Super smooth and super shiny, this fuschia fruit-flavored lip gloss is the stuff dreams are made of. It glazes lips in the perfect shade of transparent pink. (Don't be fooled by its uber-bright appearance in the tube--it shows up as much more of a sedated fuschia).

The formula is amazingly non-sticky, yet stays on the lips--a feat nearly impossible in the lip gloss world. The squeeze tube with the built-in brush dispenses fresh gloss with precision and ease. Although this isn't a plumping gloss, it somehow it makes lips look extra lush and juicy.

Mocktails are available in ten shades, which means I may need to start a tab!
