I’m totally intrigued by this Urban Decay Lip Envy stain, which claims to provide a "semi permanent" wash of colour which will actually hydrate your lips at the same time.  Given that I’ve yet to find a lip colour that can stand up to more than an hour of my dedicated coffee-drinking, I’m already sold – and the fact that this one promises to hydrate my poor old lips too makes it sound all the more desirable.

It’s a gel-like formula that dries to a semi-matt finish, and it’s available in three different colours. Get it at Sephora, where it’s $17.
