My lips but better: every day lipstick

I have a love/hate relationship with lipstick. I love the idea of it but kind of hate wearing it. It's either uncomfortable or once I walk out into the light of day I realize it looks ridiculous. And don't even get me started on the kind of lipsticks you have to babysit. You know the ones I'm...
