LATEST LOWDOWN ON LUSCIOUS LIPS

Aren't we all looking for bigger, more luscious lips....and for the perfect color to show them off? If you're like me, you've tried all the drug store brands and even popped for some super high-end delights (once I paid $65). Either way ---the shade isn't right, or it just evaporates into thin air.

Now, here comes something new to try that has fabulous wearability, great consistency, is non-drying and frankly, simply genius in the color department! Lipstick Queen lipsticks come in 10 sheer color shades (THE SAINTS) with a matching color in 10 opaque shades (THE SINNERS)! Find them at www.lipstickqueen.com or at Barney's New York. They retail for $18.00.

Chief Lipstick Queen, founder Poppy King, has devoted her life to coming up with the perfect pout. Also try her Oxymoron, a lipstick that she calls a "matte gloss" -- it looks matte but feels like a gloss. Four great subtle rosy shades that can also double as a cheek blush, $20.00.
