We're beyond obsessed with this genius new way to apply lipstick

It comes in six different shades, like Paint Pink, Orange Syrup, Daring Cherry, and So Red, packaged in a tiny, matchbook-like casing. Aww!

That's why we're currently obsessed with Red Earth Have Fun Lipstick Matches ($18 for 6-matchbook variety pack, redearth.com).

But not only are they cute AF they're good for your health too. Read on for the surprising wellness benefits:

1. YOUR MIND

Bizarro as it sounds, lipstick can boost your focus: In a study, lipstick wearers scored higher on a test than the naked-lipped. The theory why? Feeling put-together can play a role in boosting confidence... and hence performance. These little gems deposit rich, satiny color.

2. YOUR LIFE

Unlike heavy-capped tubes, each matchbook here weighs about as much as a cotton pad lightening up your makeup bag. And because they lie flat, they're ideal for a scrunched clutch. Touch-ups, sorted.

3. YOUR MOOD

"Can I bum a... lipstick?" The Lilliputian-ness of these tints makes them perfect for divvying up among friends. And research shows that sharing an act of generosity triggers feel-good chemicals, including dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins.

4. YOUR HEALTH

You should be tossing lipstick tubes after a year because of bacteria that can fester inside; since these sticks are disposable (after one use), you don't have to worry about contamination.
