Pout’s Lipslick in Sultry Girl is a champagne gloss with a just the right hint of shine.  This summery shade is one of my favorites for its versatility.  Sultry Girl is perfect to accentuate the mouth of a bronze goddess, but will also carry its wearer through fall as an ideal neutral lip to pair with a smoky eye. 

Pout richly-pigmented Lipslick is available for £10.00 via Pout, or $16 at Victoria’s Secret Beauty. 

Now is a great time to snap up a handful of these glosses at Victoria’s Secret Beauty…  Through September 5, 2007, enter offer code VSHOP to get:

At first glance, I thought this gloss was wrongly named.  In its tube, Pout’s Prim-Girl Lipslick appears to be a flamboyant shade of shocking pink.  But once applied, it leaves a sheer wash of barely-there color on the lips with just the right amount of subtle shine.  The delicious caramel scent is an added bonus to this gloss, that applies so smoothly and moisturizes lips so well, you will feel you had applied a lip treatment!

My first thought upon seeing the classic sheer-pink color of this gloss was Selma Blair’s character in Legally Blonde would most certainly carry a tube.  How perfect this shade is for the classically preppy northeastern woman.  Prim?  Perhaps- but the prepster’s version of fashion, similar to this gloss shade, is never out of style.

Pout’s high-pigment Lipslick is available in over a dozen, and retails for £10.00 on the Pout Website, or $16 at Victorias Secret.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more glamorous summer gloss than E.L.F.’s Super Glossy Lip Shine.  This hot little gloss only costs a cool dollar, and imparts a blinding shine and gorgeous peachy color worth so much more!

The days of summer are waning, but it’s certainly not too late to score yourself a nasty sunburn!  Super Glossy Lip Shine also contains an SPF 15, so you’ll be protecting your lips while achieving that goddess look!  This gloss is available in 7 fantastic grape-vanilla scented colors… and each sells for only $1 at the E.L.F. website. 

Don’t let the blue hue of California Kissin scare you off.  I promise you will not look like you’re suffering from exposure while wearing it!  When applied, this shimmery blue gloss gives lips an angelic opalescence.  Depending on how the sunlight hits it, the gloss changes to pink, blue or purple.  Fantastic! 

Benefit didn’t choose the blue color just because it’s fun and different.  The cool tone of this gloss also gives the illusion of whiter teeth! 

Personally, I’m crazy about it’s powerful peppermint flavor and scent.  What a creative way and easy way to mask breath that might not be its freshest!

California Kissin retails for $16.

Referred to on the Jelly Pong Pong website as "a statement",  Lo-Lip-Pop gloss in Raspberry Parfait makes no attempt at subtlety… This color is a flash of high-gloss hot pink that adds instant glamour to your lips.

Here's an unusual bonus:  Lo-Lip-Pop is encased in a hot pink reflective tube to make it easy to spot in a cluttered bag.  Now, that's thinking!

Scared of a bright pink gloss?  Ok, ok.  I think you're being wimpy, but whatever!  Try one of their other shades instead:  Cherry Surprise, Grape Sherbet, Strawberry Slush, Butterscotch Fudge or Rum Raisin.  (Am I the only one getting hungry?)

Lo-Lip-Pop retails for $16.  Jelly Pong Pong products can be found at local boutiques and some locations of department stores like Macy's and Gottschalks.  Check for locations near you here.  Online you can snag it at Beauty.com and Cherry Culture (where some of the selection is even on SALE).

The idea of "neutral" is constantly being redefined.  One of the Fall 2007 incarnations of a neutral lip is a sheer shade of plum.  This purple hue is universally flattering, and a jazzier version of the peach lip.  Chanel Glossimer in Imaginaire (#84) is a great way to achieve this look.  It’s sheer formula allows you to layer for as much or as little color as you’d like.  The added sparkle makes it pure unadulterated eye candy.  Personally, I’m in love…

Chanel Levres Scintillantes Glossimer retails for $25 at Macys and Nordstrom .

This chunky little balm by Beyond Coastal contains all-natural ingredients like shea butter and yerba mate to keep lips moist.  It also contains an SPF 15, to protect your delicate lips from the elements.  The fresh and delicious citrus flavor will keep you coming back for more, so you’ll never forget to reapply!

Beyond Coastal’s All Natural Lip Balm retails for $5.  Check it out at the Beyond Coastal site, or at a retailer near you.  I’m simply addicted to this brand.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again.  If you have sensitive skin, lip plumping agents may cause irritation. 

This plumping gloss by Ole Henriksen has a startlingly refreshing menthol scent.  Sure, it plumps your pucker… but this tiny little tube does so much more!  The gloss is designed to heal chapped lips with nourishing ingredients, and simultaneously protects them from the harsh rays of the sun with an SPF 15.

The skin around my lips can turn a brilliant shade of red if a plumping ingredient is too harsh.  This gloss does not irritate sensitive skin, and leaves the lips feeling smooth and soft. 

Ole Henriksen’s Fresh Lips Gloss is described as a “true lip treatment” by upurea.  I couldn’t say it better myself!  Fresh Lips Lip Treatment retails for $15.  Enter the promotional code “RAGING” for an extra $10 off of purchases of $75 or more!
