NARS Summer 2010 Collection featured a new lipstick called Love Devotion ($24.00), which NARS describes as a "sheer guava." It's a good thing they put me on notice about the color, though, because it's definitely sheer!
Love Devotion is a sheer coral-orange with...
YSL Blood Orange (94) Rouge Pur Shine Lipstick ($30.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a vibrant shade of coral-orange with an ultra glossy sheen. It has just a smidgen of iridescent shimmer woven through it, but it's nearly indetectable once on the lips. It's really the glossy...
Korres #52 Orange Red Lipstick ($18.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a semi-sheer, lightened orange with just a hint of red to it. I'm not sure why it's named "Orange Red," because it feels almost like an orange-coral. In case you were curious, it is pretty...
Dior Raspberry Serum (760) Serum de Rouge ($32.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a darkened, reddish-raspberry pink with a glossy sheen. It has very, very fine (nearly invisible) shimmer, if you look really close. The color isn't quite as deep as I'd expect for raspberry, but it's close. It's kind of like a...

Smashbox Flirty Photo Finish Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a stunning shade of played down magenta pink. It's a blue-based pink, but it's not too cool toned, so both warmer and cooler skin tones can wear it. It has a slightly...
Tarina Tarantino Candy Jar Lipstick ($22.00) is a cool-toned baby pink with a little fuchsia-violet edge. It's semi-opaque with a creamy texture and slightly glossy finish. I love the way it looks wet on lips! The texture is smooth and...
Dior Coral (730) Serum de Rouge Lipstick
Dior Coral Serum (730) Serum de Rouge Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a softened, downplayed coral-pink with subtle gold shimmer. I like this coral shade, because it's flattering on both cool and warm skin tones. It applies evenly, makes lips look lush,...
MAC Morange Lipstick ($14.00) is an amped up, vibrant shade of glistening orange. This is not for the color-shy, because it is head-to-toe rich and creamy and opaque. MAC describes it as "loudmouth orange," and it is exactly that. It's so, so full of...
