YB Loves: The Unsung Hero of Lipsticks

Each day the editors of Yahoo Beauty are sharing one noteworthy product we feel should be on your radar. From the latest and greatest items that land on our desks to indie products with a cool backstory to the old standbys that have earned a permanent place on our vanities, trust us: you’ll want to check them out.

Lip products from brands like NARS and YSL get tons of buzz on the floor at Sephora, but there’s a little gem hiding amongst these classic beauty standards. The store’s own Rouge Cream Lipstick ($13) might actually be one of its best offerings—and not just for the buck, which is a comparative steal. Sephora’s super-smooth formulation glides on in an array of rich and eye-catching colors without ever feeling cakey or sticky, resulting in a finish that falls somewhere between a satin and a matte.

As a lipstick addict who has truly tried it all, even if I stray for a while, I go back to my tubes of Sephora Cream Rouge every time. As a final word, I once had a dinner date interrupted (twice) as inquiring minds wanted to know where they could get ahold of the ultra-hot pink Cougar shade I was wearing. Those results sort of speak for themselves.
