$11, CoverGirl
It’s no secret that we’re more than slightly enamoured with super-funny-woman Ellen DeGeneres and spicy-modern-mama Sofia Vergara. Their alignment with beauty heavyweight CoverGirl actually gives us hope that somehow, someday, if we wear the right combination of makeup not only will we look prettier, we’ll also be the perfect mix of wit and sex-appeal…complete with a Latina accent, naturally. That’s why beauty products, like CoverGirl’s Lip Perfection lipstick in Flame, are so much fun to wear. They fill you with confidence, empower you to try on a new personality and, simply, make you feel more polished before you head out the door. And quite frankly, when said lipstick costs less than $15 and is enriched with moisturizing olive oil, anti-aging white tea and silky-soft shea, avocado and aloe butters, can you really not afford to swipe it on?
