    Your old-school lip balm just got a neon makeover! We're loving the summery batch of crystal lip balms that just hit stores. Packaged in a translucent lipstick shape, these gel-like high-octane shades impart a sheer, glossy finish that can be layered to show off the color's maximum impact. From Clarins's hot pink ($25; clarinsusa.com), to DuWop's sheer orange ($19; duwop.com), and Sephora's punchy violet ($3; sephora.com), they're a non-intimidating way to rock a neon pucker without feeling overdone. Plus, the ultra-hydrating formulas make the balms perfect for summer.
