Let's Talk Lip Gloss: Burt's Bees, Laura Mercier & More

While I wouldn't consider myself a make-up guru by any stretch of the mind, I do love my lipstick. If I'm on the go and don't have time to apply makeup, putting on lipstick or lip gloss is the one thing I'll do. I carry several different kids of lipsticks and lip glosses in my purse at any given time.

Some great lipsticks available on the market include:

Avon's Glazewear Lip Gloss - I have several of these in various colors and have loved the lasting power that they have. $6+ at various retailers.

I've been a fan of Burt's Bees for several years now, and I love using their Lip Shimmer - especially in the winter months. It doubles as a lip moisturizer as well as giving that added color for your lips. My favorite winter color is Champagne which is a really pale pink - plus, it smells great and is 100% natural. Get one stick of Lip Shimmer for as little as $1.57 at various retailers.

And I've been dying to try Laura Mercier's Lip Plumpers, which are designed to plump, moisturize and hydrate. Get a Laura Mercier Lip Plumper for $30+ at various online retailers.

Can't decide on a color? You can always go with a kit or collection like this Smashbox Naked Beauty Lip Gloss Collection for $25 which offers 0.04ml samples of eight different colors.
