The Best Lip Palettes Ever
This category covers the very best lip palettes regardless of price. Feel free to weigh in on your favorites. This list is actually comprised of two separate lists:
1) The Beauty Insider's Picks: My own personal list of the best products in that category, in no particular order
2) The Popular Vote: The results of a poll I did of over 1000 beauty-savvy consumers, in order of popularity.
The Beauty Insider's Picks

2. Black Opal Lipcolor Kit (“Glazed Berries”): Although this line is designed for African American women, the portable, wearable lip kits are popular with women of all skin tones. They’re easy, affordable, and offer a great selection of shades. “Glazed Berries” offers a quartet of burnished berry hues. $5.25
3. Trish McEvoy Natural Maxed Out Lip & Gloss Kit: One sleek, black compact the size of a credit card holds ten of McEvoy’s most universally flattering and popular shades. $19
