I've written before about Sue Devitt's Eye Intensifier Pencil (it's the key element in my Summery Smoky Eye), and the Lip Intensifier Pencil is just as all-around useful: it's a chunky pencil that comes in four shades (I use Kirakira) and pumps up your own lip color just the slightest bit.

I've been using it in two ways: 1) As a base under my red lipstick, to keep it staying put longer, and 2) all on its own, for a slightly-better-than-natural look. One note: while the Lip Intensifier has more moisture in it than a traditional lip pencil, it's still a very matte look, so you may want to pair it with balm or gloss.

I would also like to tell you that Yo Gabba Gabba has now officially become a part of my brain chemistry. You know how I wanted to end this post?
