I can't help you find the lipstick.  I can tell you that your mom and everyone
else really ought to take a step back and try to honestly answer the following:

Why am I applying this scented plastic to my lips and face?

Makeup isn't taboo, on a man or a woman, it's just fake and unnecessary.  My $0.02,
tell your mom that she's a beautiful woman, and that she doesn't need the damned
lipstick.  She'll appreciate that more.
