Five multi-tasking lip glosses to lighten your beauty bag

Lora's pick

"I'm a bit of a lip gloss junkie (I rounded up eight from the bottom of my bag the other day) and a sucker for pink. I also love multi-functional products that lighten my purse load. So I'm coveting this cool gloss pencil from M.A.C (my favourite brand since I started wearing makeup at 13). It's such a pretty colour for summer — perfect for patios and pools."
