Creamy cheeks and lips with Stila
Allure has written up Stila's little convertible color compacts for being versatile in nature so that in the summer or while travelling this summer one can double up on their blush and lipstick/gloss.

The balm also leaves just enough gloss with a little bit of rosy hue when piled on (really pretty). This product is only $7 and can be found at Sephora and Sephora.com online. The only downside is that it doesn't last very long on the lips but it get absorbed into the lips and leaves lips nice and soft. It is
