Moisturizing Lipstick

Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick

Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick is just what the name says, a high shine lipstick. I love the packaging on this one and it always feels luxurious to carry around Dior items.

The lipstick is on the sheer side. If you want a lot of color, take a look at some of the other Dior lipsticks instead (all Dior lip products are quite wonderful). It has a nice moisturizing feel to it and it gives off a good glossy shine. In many ways, Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick is really more like a glossy tinted balm.

The pink shades on this one are especially nice. I tend to wear mine as one of my spring lip colors.

Look for this at Dior counters in better department stores or at Sephora (which I linked to).

Urban Decay Lipstick

Urban Decay has a uniquely packaged lipstick. The tube stands on end with the hilt of a little sword sticking out of the top.

The lipstick itself has a nicely creamy texture with a glossy finish and moisturizing feel. The shade that I tried, Midnight Cowboy, was quite sheer. Urban Decay includes Vitamins A, C, and E in the lipstick.

I like this one, mostly for the interesting look of the container, but also for the nice feel of the product.

Sephora Lip Attitude Chic Lipstick

Sephora Lip Attitude Chic is one of Sephora’s store brands of lipstick. I received a sample in my last order from them, which amused me. I love little lipstick samples, but they can be hard to find!

Anyway, the lipstick in enriched with botanical oils and omega 3. Taking fish oil for omega 3 is pretty good for you, but I’m not sure it really does much topically. In any event, it still is a very nice lipstick. The color is medium sheer and stays put fairly well. The oil also keeps it nicely moisturizing and comfortable. It also give the lipstick a bit of a shine. The shade I tried, Talented Berry, was a nice standard berry color that would be flattering on just about everyone.

So far, I have been rather happy with the Sephora brand items that I have tried. Considering that they cost less than many of the other items in the store and seem to be pretty good quality, I image that I will be trying more.

Three Custom Color Specialists Ballet Russe Lipstick

From the Three Custom color Specialists Czarina Collection, comes a nice sheer red lipstick. If you are tired of all those heavy opaque reds out there, check this one out, because the sheerness of it makes this item quite nice.

Below is a swatch. As you can see, the shade is sheer and gives off a rosy tone. If you want deeper red, simply apply another coat. But personally, I love using a sheer red just as it was intended—with one sheer coat. The effect is a pretty rose red glow instead of a stark bright red lip.

The Three Custom Color Specialists’ lipstick is also moisturizing, so it is quite comfortable to wear. The lipstick also won one of Allure Magazine’s 2008 best of beauty awards. Check out the collection online at the link above.

Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick

I love Moisturizing lipstick, and Maybelline has one of the best that there is. Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipstick has a great creamy texture and it feels more like a balm than a lipstick.

Moisture Extreme contains jojoba oil as a conditioner and carries an SPF 15 rating. I lasts for a decent amount of time and you can pair it with a Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lip Liner Pencil for even longer wear.

You can find Maybelline Moisture Extreme in a plethora of shades at just about any drugstore or big box retailer.

Dimitri James Skinn Cosmetics Lipstick and Gloss

Skinn cosmetics makes a couple of really nice lip items. The High Brilliance Lipstick is great stuff, especially considering the $14 price tag. The lipstick is creamy, long lasting and generally moisturizing. It also has anti-aging ingredients for a bit of double duty action.

The Wet Shine Lip Gloss is also lovely. This tube gloss has a pretty good color payoff—more than the standard tube type usually has. Yet despite the extra pigment, it is low on the stickiness factor. It has Vitamin E, Soy, and aloe for conditioning agents. This one is another good value at $12.50.

Skinn also offers some nifty 3 piece and 6 peice sets.
