Buy: $24; sephora.com

I just about squealed when I opened a mailer from IT Cosmetics that held all of their new Pillow Lips tubes. Each color comes in both a matte and cream formula—because IT knows it’s all about preference—and is packed with ingredients that do way more than just deliver long-lasting color. Line-smoothing collagen and hydrating hyaluronic acid are two of the not-so-secret ingredients that will keep your lips smiling.

If you’ll never give up your gloss habit, try this lipstick on for size. It melts on as you swipe, imparting the moisture feeling of a lip balm with the high-impact color that you expect from a traditional lipstick. Aloe, rose quartz, and hyaluronic acid smooth and soften lips while it wears—no feathering!
