If there’s anyone you should trust with your lipstick selection, it is Sephora employees. This series has been at once the most helpful beauty series I’ve ever written and the most devastating to my bank account.

I can take consolation at least, in the fact that I’m helping you, my Internet friends, buy products that are actually worthy of your beautiful faces — and also the financial investment.
