What’s sexier than juicy lips with just a hint of color from within? Lips that look like you just polished off a bowl of fresh berries. The look of “just-bitten” lips is a key to summer cool.  For luscious summer lip color, think cool and tropical.  Bright berries, plush pinks and raspberry reds are ideal colors to compliment your summer cool. Check out a lip stain for juicy, luscious lips.

Lip stains are long-lasting; the ideal accompaniment for a night on the town.  No residue on your wine glass, and no tell-tale lipstick anywhere else…
