Lip, Lip...Hooray!

It's been a while since I've written about beauty here at Ny Minute Now, ever since I'd moved all the beauty articles over at BeautyintheBigApple.com. However, this afternoon, I got to thinking about sharing my two latest lip finds.

On my way to the ladies' room at the office earlier, my friend, Pia Rojas, fashion and beauty editor of Good Housekeeping, casually said, "Go to my desk, I have lipstick for you."

Now, while I've more discerning than ever with what I put on my face and body these days, I rarely turn down beauty products. I no longer get to test-drive a kazillion items for work, so I actually now have to head to the counters and supermarkets, or rely on the generous donations of my editor friends for personal care items, as you can tell from above.

Anyway, that said, you must check out Revlon Colorburst™ Lipsticks in Soft Nude and Grape. The former is a delicious neutral shade that seems blah at first swipe, but instantly transforms into a healthy pillowy pink, once topped with your favorite old-rose gloss. The latter, meanwhile, looks like a rich plum inside the tube, and based on the nude I've tried, goes on soft and creamy on the lip. And that's saying a lot, coming from someone not exactly a fan of rouge, who consciously takes it off before eating!
