We've never needed an excuse to buy any new beauty products. But just in case you're a little more budget conscious than us, Stila's new lipstick not only will have your lips looking fresh, but will also play a role in the 2008 Presidential election.

Stila's new red lip color, Rock the Vote, goes on sale starting today and will retail for $17. Twenty-five percent of the proceeds from the first 500 lipsticks purchased will go to the efforts to "mobilize young people to get involved in the political process."

But that patriotism doesn't stop there folks. In addition to the lipstick, Stila will have a "Rock the Vote" icon on its site that will allow people to become registered voters so they can make that all-important decision on November 4th.
