Pucker Perfection

Bobbi Brown SPF 15 Lipshine, $19 - and
Shimmer Lip Tint SPF 15, $19.

Southampton - The perfect set of kissable lips is completely easy to achieve. All you need are the right lip-smacking accessories and a color perfect for your skin tone. The trend right now is high shine with plenty of shimmer in colors that blend well with glowing gold accessories top the list. Here are some of our shimmering favorites that have SPF and an icy cool surprise.

Bobbi Brown makes a glowing sheer gold concoction complete with sun protection in SPF 15 Lip Shine. We tried "Sun Kissed" and loved the silky feel and hint of mint scent. For even more shine try the Shimmer Lip Tint SPF 15 in "Brown Sugar Shimmer." The sporty tube is perfect for travel and the formula is very lightweight. Not at all thick and sticky. The color is very Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Alba – sheer sun kissed glow, perfect with a tan! There is also a high-patent shine, "Crystal," that is great to gloss over a matte lipstick.

Origins Liquid Lip Shimmer $13.50.

If you've got a passion for high voltage shine then try Color Surge Impossibly Glossy lip gloss by Clinique. With 18 super glossy shades awash with the hottest colors and tons of shimmer there's something for your every mood. Feeling a little camera shy, try "Braisin" for a nude glow. Looking for some attention, give hot pink "Luau" or "Miss Hibiscus" a whirl. We found the colors stayed put even longer with the help of a little lip liner.

With names like "Mangotini," "Pink Bikini," "Hula Girl," and "Sangria" you'd think we're talking about a cocktail menu not a list of simply irresistible lip gloss from Origins. But we are! Their Liquid Lip Shimmer is a full coverage lip gloss rich with aloe, Vitamin E, and Rice Bran Oil for intense moisturizing. There is a cooling mint zing too - your lips will thank you and beg for more. The formula is a little thicker than the other we tried but the color lasted for hours.

Urban Decay XXX Shine Cooling Lip
Gloss $15.

Another favorite is Urban Decay XXX Shine Cooling Lip Gloss. The intensely conditioning formula is infused with peppermint and Vitamin E and really gives you a kick. Of their three slick lustrous shades our favorite is "Naked." This ultra sheer pink takes nude to new levels. Their other shades - "Kinky," a warm plum, and "Joyride," a bright sheer pink with hints of silver, will keep the boys salivating.

With lip gloss we found that the more color you get the thicker the formula. But, most brands we tried had the added benefits of SPF and vitamins to help keep your lips soft and sexy. A fun hint of mint made for a fresh change form the cloying fruity flavors. No man likes to get "lipsticked" by his honey but trust us, he'll mind it less with a little mint. So glide it on and pucker up - now all you need is a great dress, fabulous shoes, and somewhere to take those amazing lips.
