I’m a big fan of luscious lips, and like most girls, I too aspire to my own “Angelina” levels of plumpness and puckering abilities. But, since I didn't inherit an Angie-caliber sucker fish pout, I could use a little umph. Enter, CO Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine, an ultra-sheen, peppermint oil-infused gloss—which, incidentally, also masks the icky aftermath of a hummus binge (we’re all guilty!). The glosses are only $7.50 and come in an array of tints—subtle pink, oh-so-natural bare, and clear, which you can slap on and casually pull off without looking like you care. I like to add a touch of gloss over lipstick or alone and without a stitch of makeup. The minty zing makes you feel fresh, and people often ask how I achieve the shine factor (to which I toss my hair and lie: “Dunno!”). So, it's our secret.
