Chanel Super Rouge Allure Lipstick
Just in time for summer, Chanel's Les Pop-Up de Chanel Collection (which is now starting to pop-up--pardon the pun--in stores) introduces two new and limited edition shades of Rouge Allure Lipstick -- Super (rose) and Genial (coral). When I...
MAC Violetta Lipstick ($14.00 for 0.10 oz.) is a red-based violet purple with a glossy sheen. It has an amplified creme finish and a permanent PRO shade (which does, occasionally, make an appearance on maccosmetics.com as part of seasonal trend reports). It...
For summer, Essie created the Resort Collection, which features four cream-finish shades: Playa del Platinum (elegant and sheer sandy...
Elizabeth Arden Perfect Flamingo Lipstick
Elizabeth Arden Perfect Flamingo Lipstick ($21.50 for 0.12 oz.) is a brightened shade of blue-based pink. It's a creamy, smooth shade with an almost semi-matte finish -- it has just a bit of sheen...

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...
Chanel Le Vernis: Mistral (517), Riviera (537)
Along with Nouvelle Vague, which I reviewed last week, Chanel launched two other shades of lacquer ($23) in their Les Pop-Up de Chanel Collection.
I bought these at my local Chanel counter (in Nordstrom) today,...
The Prep for Colour Collection is a short and sweet collection. I'm not even sure why they bothered with any color cosmetics, and I could have gone for repromotes of great permanent neutrals, too -- just because MAC does...
