Mary Kay's True Dimension Sheer Lipstick in Posh Pink.  This hydrating lipstick goes on ultra smooth and is a subtle rose color ($18.00).  For a more intense rose-quartz, add Mary Kay's Nourishine Plus Lip Gloss Pink Parfait ($15.00).


Mary Kay's Creme Lipstick in Frosted Rose.  This is Mary Kay's tried and true lipstick line ($15.00).  Frosted Rose is velvety and highly pigmented.  The creme lipstick line does not feather or bleed.








Sephora + Pantone Universe Lipstick in Serenity.  If you are a fan of the serenity color, buy this color now for $18.00.  The rose quartz counterpart is already sold out!  This color looks like it could have easily been worn by Katy Perry in her California Gurls music video.


Gerard Cosmetics Hydra-Matte Liquid Lipstick in Serenity.  Don't let the name confuse you, this hydra-matte liquid lipstick is actually rose quartz!  This soft pink look was inspired by the Japanese anime films, Sailor Moon.  It works well both day and night.  Get your's for $20.00.

Dulce & Gabbana Beauty Shine Lipstick in Light Blue 185.  D&G has hit this lipstick out of the ballpark!  The serenity hue is to die for and adds volume to lips.  Light Blue 185 costs $34.50 at Nordstrom's.
