Try: Flirt Cosmetics Lip pHetish Color Converting Lipstick in On Phire, $18
Though not an entirely new trend (holla, mood rings, color-changing nail polish and Smashbox's cult classic O-gloss), color-converting products are having a serious moment among the beauty obsessed. And the latest crop of goods just so happens to be kind of scientific -- in the prettiest of ways. Manipulated by our heat index and the pH of the moisture on our lips, the newest color-converting lipsticks are as intriguing as they are irresistible. This one by Flirt Cosmetics is semi-sheer -- aka it looks great on all skin tones and is a solid alternative for those intimidated by super-saturated shades of neon -- and miraculously transforms from yellow to a customized shade of coral. We have yet to witness a transformation that isn't totally dreamy.

Try: Clinique Pop Lacquer Lip Colour + Primer in Happy Pop, $18.50
Free of parabens and chock-full of vitamins for a plump and polished pout, this A+ formula from Clinique is great for those who prefer show-stopping shine and a luxe, liquid formula. One swipe delivers a full coverage look that promises an impressive six hours of wear. Put to the test, we even scored a compliment as we dragged ourselves into a 6:30p.m. spin class following a full day of work. Now that's miraculous. Try it if you have medium skin with cooler undertones.
