The Spring Season: Maybelline Caramel Kiss Lipstick

Maybelline Caramel Kiss Lipstick ($8.29) is a creamy browned nude -- it's kind of like a taste of caramel; a little warm, a smidgen golden, but very natural, soft, and wearable. I'm not usually big on brown-based shades, but this is a shade I can...
