Bobbi Brown High Shimmer Lip Gloss

OCC Technopagan Lip Tar (Metallic)
As soon as I saw Technopagan, I couldn’t wait to try it–it’s such a sexy, fierce color. It’s intensely pigmented, as you’d expect from a Lip Tar and applies with even, smooth color coverage. It has more of a satin finish for the first few hours of wear, but it settles to more of a metallic-matte (sheen but not shine) finish. May this shade be the one that convinces you that blue is wearable! Full Review	Where to Buy $18.00 at Sephora, Beautylish, Nordstrom

Too Faced Melted Lipstick
If you love richly pigmented, long-wearing, bold color, then this is a liquid formula worth checking out. Favorites include: Melted Fig, Melted Violet. Full Review	Where to Buy $21.00 at Sephora, Beauty.com
