7 Criminally Underrated Lip Products You Have To Try

As someone who is notorious for snacking, perhaps more than she should, a sturdy lipstick is absolutely necessary. The sponge applicator on these smudge-resistant lippies glide like no other and p.s., the entire "What A Spice" line is a makeup minimalist's dream. The entire range includes a range of romantic colors, but I'm particularly enamored with #36 because it's literally the perfect neutral for brown skin.

You'll be hard pressed to find a bad review of the brand's magical Bum Bum Cream, but do not sleep on this lip balm. Besides the fact that it tastes good enough to eat (seriously), the caramel-scented formula won't dry out quickly and it can be worn alone or on top of color. Trust me--bae will love this one. Pucker up!

They say "one size fits all" makeup products don't exist, but I beg to differ. I've seen countless women in our office rock this single digit lippie and not only does it look like matte perfection; everyone's obsessed with the lasting power, too! There's an entire range of colors to choose from, but this purple hue really pops against all shades of brown.

This brand, founded by breast cancer survivor Cashmere Nicole, has been on my radar for quite some time, thanks in part to the insane popularity of this highly pigmented lippie. Go bold or go home with this electric blue hue or shop other options, including the just released collaboration with Gabby Douglas.

I've always been skeptical while purchasing lip scrubs, simply because I feel it's the type of product you should really feel working. There are a wide range of exfoliators on the market, ranging from "barely there" to "wow, this feels like sandpaper," but Kaplan's duo is the perfect medium. I'm obsessed with the combo of the tingly mask and cooling balm. But, tread carefully: this formula does include a plumper that will add a little volume to your pout.

Why spend your time pressing play and pause on an ombre lip tutorial when you can simply use a two-in-one lippie? Next time you're waiting in line at Forever 21, throw this two-toned option in your bag and say goodbye to a complicated makeup routine.
