Whether you are going for a just-kissed look, a glittery pout, a perfectly luscious red effect, or a satiny sheer shade, it would all depend on the lipstick that you are wearing. Take a look at this list of top 8 lipsticks I’ve personally been addicted to lately and you’ll know which fabulous rouge a levre to reach for next time you are at the beauty counter!

8. Color Design Sensational Effects Lipcolor Smooth Hold by Lancome …

Expert’s Opinion:

“These Lipcolors seem to last for hours (even after you eat!) and really moisturize my thirsty lips.”

– says Dedlejuse, from Beautifile

Description: Dress your lips in new Color Design Lipcolor for full coverage, smooth hold and sensational effects in one coat. Creams, sheens, shimmers and metallics — four modern finishes for custom lip styling. A range of 36 shades to create the perfect designer’s palette for any lip tone.

My Comment: If you’re looking for a gloss/lipstick combination, this is it. I tried Smooth Hold in the color Oh My!, which is shimmery and beautiful brown-beige. I love the fact that it almost looks like I’ve applied a gloss over the lipstick, so it gives me that extra shiny look.

Don’t be fooled, though… Smooth Hold is not sticky like a gloss at all. It’s creamy, not drying, and lasts and lasts.
