Philosophy Kiss Me Exfoliating Lip Scrub ($15.00 for 0.5 oz.) is a very thin, sugar-based scrub with a strong peppermint scent (and the tingle that comes from it).
This works when it works, but it needs to be stored with the cap facing upwards, and you might...
Urban Decay 5150 Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a reddish-coral with an orange edge and lots of shimmer. It's nearly opaque and finishes with a glossy sheen. Even though it's described as a coral, it reads quite redder than coral on my lips, but it's...
Dolce & Gabbana Pink Lipstick ($30) is a pretty-in-strawberry-pink with a soft, frosted sheen. It's not an ultra cool pink, though it does have cooler undertones. It is a semi-sheer lipstick that delivers some color but...

Illamasqua Brink Lipstick ($20.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a brightened, peachy-coral with nearly matte finish--it does have a very subtle glossy sheen (but no shimmer). Because it has a more matte finish, it's not an overly creamy...
Bobbi Brown Orange Lip Color ($22.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a vibrant shade of deep orange. This is orange without being neon, flashy, or so unnatural that it looks weird--this is an orange you can wear that looks and feels like...
