When we saw a new product called "Superstar Lipline" chapstick, we had to try it. The Tiffany-blue tube claimed to bring the makeup equivalent of an x factor with a glossy texture, a shiny effect, and a yummy nostalgic cherry taste. Made in Los Angeles by sisters Erika and Adrian Culverson, the gloss sells for $14, and can be worn alone or over a coat of lipstick.
After trying Superstar Lipline (in a pink hue that's cleverly named "Debut") we can say it certainly
does amplify the shiny, super-pretty, "I was born this way" kind of pout we're used to seeing on celebs like Blake Lively. But the effect is subtle - not a heavy-duty swipe of sparkles.
If you want that little extra glimmer before you head out for your next audition, this tube of gloss / balm / shine is a very good idea. If you need a bigger boost than that... well... maybe forget the makeup and try bribing the director instead?
