As the daughter of Steven Tyler and Bebe Buell, Givenchy spokesmodel Liv Tyler owes her full, luscious lips more to an impossibly pouty pedigree than to anything that comes in a wand, pot, or tube. Still, the brand's latest lip release ($23; sephora.com) is a must-have summer accessory no matter how you've fared in the genetics jackpot. Here's why Lip Lip Shine's a winner: As a gloss in lipstick form, it offers all the light, semitransparent sheen of the former with the nonsticky texture and staying power of the latter. The 12 pearlescent shades boast a sweet fruity-floral scent and are formulated with vitamin E and apple-seed extract hydrate, soothe, and nourish. Even thought they're sheer, the three shades we snagged (Sun Shine, Plum Shine, and our favorite, Bronze Shine) were surprisingly well-pigmented. But ultimately, Lip Lip Shine's greatest appeal lies in its exclusive Wondershine finish--a blend of superfine metallic particles that gives lips a glistening veil of shimmer. --Tara Mattarazzo
