The Summer Season: Dolce & Gabbana Fascination Lipstick

Dolce & Gabbana Fascination (#165) Shine Lipstick ($30.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a creamy, semi-opaque shade of pinky-lilac. It's not exactly purple, but it's not a perfect, petal pink, either. It lies closer to...

The Summer Season: NYX 24 Karat Lipstick

NYX 24 Karat Lipstick ($5.50) is an ultra shimmery, borderline glittery metallic copper with a copper-brown color base. This is a very, very bronzy shade, and I definitely think it's more suitable for tanner skin. It has a high-shine that's more metallic than...

The Summer Season: MAC Crosswires Lipstick

MAC Crosswires Lipstick ($14.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a lovely shade of coral-pink--it's not super bright like Vegas Volt, but it's not so muted that it ends up looking washed out.  It's easily one of my favorite corals amongst MAC's permanent line, too.  The...

The Summer Season: Milani Magenta Madness Lipstick

Milani Magenta Madness Lipstick ($5.00) is a darkened magenta-purple with a violet sheen. It's like a much more purple, almost downplayed version of MAC Show Orchid. It's as if MAC Violetta and MAC Show Orchid had a baby, actually. Magenta Madness has good...

The Summer Season: Lancome Groupie Lipstick

Lancome Groupie Color Design Lipstick ($22.00) is a deep copper-bronzed pinky-red. It's not quite a full-on red, and the copper-bronze shimmer made it feel like summer to me, even though the color was just borderline "summer." It's a rich, opaque color...

The Summer Season: NYX Chloe Lipstick

NYX Chloe Lipstick ($4.00) is a darkened fuchsia-red with iridescent violet-fuchsia sheen. This is definitely a bold, bright shade with a frosty finish. I could see this shade working really well with some thick, retro liquid liner. I didn't notice any scent...
