Gloss on the Go with Backpack-Approved Lip Crayons
Photo: Jason Lloyd Evans1/11Remember when you were little and a new school year meant a fresh box of perfectly sharpened Crayolas? Well the grown-up version is here in the form of chic lip crayons. They have the structure of a lipstick, so they won't make a mess, but their balm-like texture means it's easy to color inside the lines. The best part? You don't have to have a set of 64 to look as pretty as a picture!
Check out 10 seriously stylish lip crayons vying for the spot as your favorite back-to-school accessory.
