Editor Test Drive: Drugstore Beauty Buys

The Only 1 Lipstick in Pink A Punch, $9

"Upend my purse at any given time and probably at least six to 10 lipsticks will fall out. This is not hyperbole. I just own a truly grotesque amount of lipstick (people actually gaze in horror at my lippie-covered vanity to which I always respond in a shriek "I didn't actually BUY any of them!" as if the fact that I hoarded them all from my various swag-portunities makes it any better). I was down to clown with a new product and found this one to be a beaut. It slicked on creamy and smooth in a gorgeous, vibrant hue, and then settled into an intriguing, vaguely half-matte finish that stayed on through poutine consumption and brief dancefloor makeouts. #wouldbuyifihadtobuybeautyproducts" —Briony Smith, senior editor, culture
