Hot Gloss

Bamboo Pink, Bonfire, Fireberry

Au naturale femme, sun-kissed beach babe and ruby-lipped glamazon. Three shades of Clinique's new Long Last Glosswear SPF 15 and you've got all of these looks in the (makeup) bag.
The idea: Sheer, long lasting shades with SPF 15 to protect your lips (Crucial! They are skin too, you know.)
The verdict: An array of natural, mica-flecked shades easily complement any skintone. Shimmer is fine, not gaudy and the colors are more reminiscent of plants than of Hi-C flavors. Though translucent, the pigment does hold for several hours. The high shine factor also makes lips look fuller.
Drawbacks: Mildly sticky. Don't go around kissing people or walking with your hair down on a windy day in this stuff.
Faves: I love Bamboo Pink for a natural everyday look and with a mod smoky eye at night. Bonfire illuminates a face dusted with bronzer and peach blush, and for a chic classic look the raspberry Fireberry shade (so hot for spring) is perfection.
