Seems like so many women are still hating on lipstick, though I personally can’t imagine why. The beauty-industry has gracefully bridged the gap between gloss and lipstick, and many brands currently offer lipstick-shaped lip color with the shiny properties of a gloss and the moisturizing elements of a lip balm.
Koh Gen Do’s gloss/lipstick hybrid is available in 8 shades: Nude Beige, Coral Beige, Pink Beige, Coral Orange, Fresh Pink, Coral Pink, Pink Rose and Pink Red. I’m loving the subtle pop of pink delivered by Pink Rose. If you’re bashful about color, this formula is a great way to embrace the brights of Spring 2011 without feeling overwhelmed.
Retail price is $35 per lipstick.
My advice: If you’re new to the brand, one of these lush Maifanshi Lipsticks should be your first purchase!

Dry lips? Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Lip Gloss contains shea butter, jojoba seed oil, olive squalane, perilla ocymoides seed oil and honey. ALL of these ingredients have moisturizing and conditioning properties, and you can feel that goodness the moment you apply this sinfully comforting gloss!
The Maifanshi Lip Gloss shades offered are natural and sheer. Juicy Beige (swatch below) is a super-shiny naked shade that works for just about anyone, and makes a great Spring 2011 addition to your makeup arsenal!
Retail price is $21 for a .25 oz tube.
Shades available (left to right in top image): Blush Pink, Champagne, Clear, Juicy Beige and Shell Pink.

Wonder Woman is larger than life. So too is her Lipglass collection! These 0.37 ounce mega Lipglasses are more than double the size of an ordinary MAC Lipglass… (but not double the price, for those of you seeking a deal!)
I’ll fess up… I’m not a “big” fan of the super-sized applicator! They tend to get stuck when you’re trying to pull the wand from the tube, and make precise application more complicated than the ordinary sized sponge-tip. However, the four shades selected for the MAC Wonder Woman collection are to-die-for gorgeous! I seriously love each of these shades for Spring 2011, but my absolute #1 favorite is the sheer red shade simply named “Wonder Woman”. Check out the swatches, below!
