One of the best drugstore bargains you will find! This jumbo pencil not only delivers a power-packed pigment punch, but this nude-tinted shade will flatter any skin color. Easy to apply, this balm provides a long-lasting surge of moisture all day.






What our editors are wearing:

Torrey:
"I don't use actual lipsticks -- I use Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balm in Fig, which looks like lipstick but is more moisturizing."

Jenny: "I own and adore a zillion lipsticks, but one of my absolutely favorites is from Drew Barrymore's Flower Beauty line! It's called Rose Bud and it is literally the perfect shade of red for any complexion -- and I get complimented on it constantly when I have it on. It makes me feel sexy and confident, and the best part is that it is a bargain at $6.98 MSRP."

Marah: "I love Stila Stay All Day liquid Lipstick in Fiery (Deep Red) -- stays on literally ALL day and night. It makes me look put together instantly -- especially when I only have like ten minutes to get ready."
