Beauty pick: Caryl Baker’s line-filling glosses

Sometimes all the makeup I want to wear is a sheer, natural-coloured lipgloss. Caryl Baker Visage The Lip Lift Gloss ($19 each, carylbakervisage.com) comes in three paraben-free shades for summer—a shimmery peach “Wish,” a matte coral pink “In the Sun,” and a sparkling bronze “On the Beach.” Not only does the gloss not feel sticky, its formulation is infused with filling spheres to smooth out fine line and it makes lips feel super soft.

Friends don’t let friends use expired lipgloss

Technology and I have not always had an easy relationship.
