I have always felt like I am bleeding from the mouth so have started with Benefit Benetint which Rouge recommended - I LOVE it - it's a really subtle but still gorgeous red stain and you can use it on your cheeks too. I got my pocket pal on ebay for less than half retail price! Bonus!! I am about to step up to lippy - I have seen so many photos of gorgeous chicks with bright lips and it looks hot!! Love love love it and am just going to do it...either red or maybe hot pink....or tangerine....
