Lipstick Madonna Should Have Worn to Kiss Drake

Pretty much everyone plugged into pop culture has seen or at least heard about the infamous surprise kiss Madonna planted on rapper Drake last week at the Coachella music fest in the California desert.

A lot of fuss has been made about the Material girl's age, but she's still fab at 56. Although we don't think the 28-year-old hip-hop heartthrob was necessarily grossed out because of Madonna's, um, maturity, the way Drake was seated when the kiss happened was super awkward (see above gif image). And that could have caused him to nearly lose his lunch. Drake, on the other hand, says he wasn't turned off by the lip lock. Instead, he blames the taste of Madonna's lipstick for his less than flattering reaction.

We guess her lip gloss wasn't poppin'.

So you don't make the same faux pas, here are Everything She Wants' picks for spring lipsticks that won't make Drake, or any other guy, gag.

NARS Audacious Lipstick ($32 in the red hot shade, Carmen.

Before you pucker up, apply SheaMoisture Lip Exfoliator ($7.99), made with a combination of apricot seeds and sugar to help exfoliate the lips and remove dead skin. Then coat your pout with SheaMositure's paraben-and-talc-free, luscious Lipstick Crayon ($9.99).

Laura Geller Love Me Dew Moisturizing Lip Crayon Trio ($25) come in vibrant colors infused with hydrating vitamin E for soft, kissable lips.

Jouer Moisturizing Lip Gloss ($22) is our go-to for a natural-looking lip. The 29 sheer shades are loaded with vitamin E, Shea butter and jojoba seed oil to soothe and keep lips smooth.

We've recently become a super-fan of NARS cosmetics and the luxe brand's Audacious Lipstick ($32) provides dramatic, creamy and long-lasting coverage.

Conway Discount Clothing Chain Closing in New York City

It's the end of an era. Conway discount stores are closing . As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days." Before I relocated to New York City, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore. I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued. I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store. And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store. One regretful ensemble: Lime green and white checkered pants with a matching lime green

Soak Up the Last Weeks of Summer Sun At The Rockaway Hotel

Summer is winding down, but there's still time to soak up the sun -- while wearing sunscreen, chic shades and a protective hat or sun visor, of course. If you're in New York City, The Pool at The Rockaway Hotel + Spa is a cool place to swim, lounge and discreetly people watch while swaying to beat of ambient music. It's a vibe! Day passes are available for non-hotel guests Monday through Thursday (excluding private events, 10 am -7 pm). Located in the heart of the Rockaway Beach community in Queens, New York, the Rockaway Hotel is just a few short blocks from the sand and surf. Besides the outdoor pool, the newly built 84,000 square foot hotel offers around 60 guest rooms, a restaurant, a rooftop bar, and a large event space. And it's a nice addition to the area. When my husband and I visited the popular pool, we enjoyed yummy sips and bites poolside. Lounging chairs are first come, first serve so the early bird gets the spot of their choice. After chilling at t

SEE Eyewear Opens a New Brooklyn Store

Whoever said guys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses hasn't seen SEE Eyewear . The eclectic eyewear brand offers fashionable yet affordable prescription and non-prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses. SEE stocks a limited quantity of each pair of its unique glasses (about 80), so you probably won't run into another subway rider rocking the same specs. Recently, SEE opened a new store in the hipster-hangout Williamsburg section of Brooklyn and Everything She Wants got a sneak peek. The new Brooklyn store is located on Bedford Avenue and Everything She Wants readers will receive a 20 percent discount in-store with the code "BEDFORDAVE." I was gifted my first pair of designer reading glasses with no-glare lenses to protect me from eye-straining computer use. There are so many cool styles, it was hard to pick just one. But I narrowed my favorites down to three, and ultimately selected a chic pair of cat eye, tortoise shell frames. I can
