There is a trend towards bold, orange lips. Really bold. The look can be dramatic and fun, but it isn’t for everyone or for everyday. If you would like a tamer look, try a mango stain instead. It’s distinct and youthful, but very wearable.
We like Stila Lip & Cheek Stain Mango Crush. One layer (pictured below) gives a nice mango colored tint, two coats give a vibrant pinky-mango hue.

Wearing Crush Lip and Cheek Stain in Mango Crush. Lovely long lasting pigment, it does double duty as a cheek stain. Comes in a portable pen form. Precise as a liner, does not skip on the skin.
I had heard of HauteLook.com before, but didn’t make my first purchase until their current Cosmetics sale – incredible sets and individual items are reduced to incredibly low prices.
And the deal is sweetened by the fact that if you sign up through the link above, you’ll get a $10 credit to use on your first purchase.
There is only nine hours left on the sale, but they run different sales everyday – and there are some pretty incredible designers coming up in the next couple of weeks.
For 2025 reference, HauteLook is now Nordstrom Rack

Review: Stila Lip and Cheek Stain in Cherry Crush
As you know, I’m a huge fan of lip stains like those made by my favorite brand Liptini. So of course I had to give Stila Lip and Cheek Stain in Cherry Crush a try.
The great things about lip stains is that you can layer them, so you can get just a hint of color with one coat, or a dramatic pout with two or three layers. And while you can add enough layers of Cherry Crush to create a nice pop of color, it gives such a great “your lips but better” look with one layer you may choose to stop there.
It is formulated to be a color that is universally flattering – and it certainly works on me. Think of that color your lips get when they just look great on their own – after you bit into a cherry or a juice strawberry, after sucking on a cherry popsicle, or after a hard workout – this is the color that Cherry Crush seems to produce on everyone who I’ve seen try it.
One of the ways it works on everyone is by reacting to the pH level on your skin. While there isn’t that much of a difference between one person and the next when it comes to pH levels, it’s enough to cause a change to the color of Cherry Crush.
Add to that the fact that it contains antioxidants and cherry and pomegranate extracts, and you have one impressive product.
Of course, the fact that it reacts to pH brings out the mad scientist in me, so I’ve been trying to see how different products of varying pH levels tweak the color, and the results are pretty cool.
Another pH reactive lipstick line is Lipstick Queen transformative shades. These include the beloved Frog Prince blush, gloss and lipsticks.
Stay tuned for my findings…
