5 Winter Beauty Picks

Estee Lauer Signature Hydra Lustre Lipstick

Start the new year off right with a hit of lip luxury. Estée Lauder Signature Hydra Lustre Lipstick ($19.50) gives you terrific mileage all around: denser, more intense, lasting color; longer and richer moisturization; and luscious shine. (It's the perfect combination of a classic, womanly lipstick and a modern gloss.) The range of shades includes 24 colors in pink-berries, mauve-plums, nude-browns, and coral-reds; the gold fluted case has a precision closure, so it snaps shut with a satisfying little thud. If lipsticks were cars, this one would be a Rolls.
