" One of the secrets to\u00A0a\u00A0winning\u00A0formula\u00A0is the element of surprise\u2014something about a product that looks like x, but turns out to be y, is just more fun (especially when y is cooler than x). It&amp;#039;s why we all\u00A0got into\u00A0mood rings, rainbow gel pens and color-changing lip balms in the first place. For the last couple of years, I reached for every pale pink balm, gloss and lipstick\u00A0that promised to react with my body&amp;#039;s chemistry\u00A0to deliver the most flattering shade of color with the hope that I&amp;#039;d finally find my perfect, natural-looking\u00A0shade\u2014only to be underwhelmed by the fact that they all left my lips\u00A0with\u00A0the same cotton candy, sweet pink hue. Maybe that&amp;#039;s what my pH levels call for, but I don&amp;#039;t like it.\u00A0 Then these balms came along and finally got it right.\u00A0Yes, there&amp;#039;s still the\u00A0standard pale pink, but there&amp;#039;s also\u00A0a\u00A0hotter pink, coral,\u00A0red and plum. The color payoff is intense for sheer formulas (after all, it&amp;#039;s MAC), and each shade really does vary depending on who&amp;#039;s wearing it. My favorite is Side Dish, a purple I&amp;#039;d never think to pick up but\u00A0that magically turns into a soft\u00A0fuchsia that feels custom-made.
