Clinique Pop Matte Lip Color + Primer in 'Ruby Pop'. A cheerful pinky red almost exactly the color of Dorothy's slippers, I like to imagine her as MAC Ruby Woo's goody-two-shoes little sister.

Clinique Pop Matte Lip Colour + Primer in no. 06 'Rose Pop'. This little beauty came free in a gift-with-purchase at the Bloomie's Clinique counter, and it made me realize I should revisit this humble line for some equally amazing mattes. It sits all day better than any other mattes I've tried by MAC, Chanel, or Burberry. And it's $18.50, whaaaatttt?

Wait. Lipstick?

Perhaps I should explain: In my spare time, I love collecting and playing with cosmetics, and nothing starts my day off right like selecting the perfect lipstick. On a recent rainy Sunday afternoon, I decided to dig out every color I owned and document it, along with its story. The project gave me so much joy, and the final lineup of lipsticks was so lovely, that I decided to share it on Instagram and now in blog form. My apologies if you were you expecting more print collateral—this just makes me a touch happier.
