Lipstick that disappears before you even finish your commute is not okay. For color that lasts, we love CoverGirl Exhibitionist 24 Hour Ultra Matte Lipstick, $7.94. The long-wearing, waterproof formula comes in 12 beautiful matte shades and goes strong all the way from your morning swipe-on straight through to evening cocktails.
Sometimes our hands are no match for the long-wearing makeup, sunscreen, and dirt and pollution that our skin has to put up with on a daily basis. Enter Mary Kay Skinvigorate Sonic Skin Care System, $75, which oscillates 12,000 times per minute to deep clean like your fingers and a washcloth could only dream of. There's various device heads to suit your needs, it can go 30 days on a single charge, and it can even be used in the shower. Score one for technology!
