My friend Joanna asks:
Q: Do you have any suggestions for the kinds of lip and cheek things we love? I need cream-based, springy cool pinks.

This is the long-discontinued prototype we’re always chasing. Also this. L’Oreal, please heed our wishes for a comeback tour for both of these essentials. And also for a return of Maybelline Kissing Koolers, please and thank you.
Anyway.
