Maybelline: Invariably when Maybelline sends me lipsticks, I always fall in love with one. As in, use it until it is a tiny little nub. Such is the case with their new Color Sensational High Shine Lipcolor. This time it’s Lacquered Brown (I know, right? Brown!) But it’s an incredible darker neutral that just happens to work with my coloring. Sick of me talking about neutrals? OK, then try the Eye Studio Color Explosion Luminizing Eye Shadow. It comes with base colors over which you apply a topcoat that brings out a multi-dimensional shimmer. With names like Amethyst Ablazed and Forest Fury, they’re definitely not boring.
