From the Egor Zaitsev Russia Fall 2006 RTW show. We say nyet to this one.

Forget the fact that they use Bob Marley’s likeness in an unflattering piece. It just doesn’t come together.

While Ralph Lauren has his share of admirers and detractors this side of town, you just can’t go wrong with this number:

We have already established that I’m a pink lip gloss girl. As such, I generally stay away from peach shades. I have pale skin with pink undertones so most peaches look too orange or, well, peachy on me. No matter how natural they claim to be, they look far from natural on my lips.

And, when it came to NARS, I really thought that their lip gloss in Orgasm was going to be my true love for spring - a nice un-made-up nude. (Which I’m wearing this very day.)

Then I tried their new Lip Lacquer in Caraibe.

In the pot, it looks a little bit like my f.y. eye … eyeshadow base from Benefit.

And it is touted as peachy.

So, I will admitt, I went in as a skeptic.

But I am really loving this sheer, shimmery color. My lips aren’t too pigmented, so this gives them a nice oomph of color without looking made up. (Though a review at Makeupalley.com also recommends the product for toning down highly pigmented lips. This review also suggests using a lip brush for application. I personally applied with my finger for the natural look. Applying with a brush did give a more defined peach shade, if that’s what you’re going for.)

Plus, given the wind and sand factor, this would be a better beach choice than the gloss because the texture is soft and non-sticky (when applied with fingers - with brush application there is a stick-factor). It really doesn’t look or feel like I’m wearing anything - but my lips have a pretty color and shimmer.
