The sonic lipstick was a device regularly employed by Sarah Jane Smith similar to the sonic screwdriver owned by the Doctor, while resembling a real lipstick closely enough not to seem suspicious.

History

The Doctor had left the sonic lipstick for Sarah inside a sliding panel on the side of K-9 Mark IV. (Sarah Jane Adventures website)

Following the destruction of one of the devices by Sontaran Commander Kaagh, she later produced another. (SJA: Enemy of the Bane) The Doctor may have created two for her, or she may have built a duplicate using the one she had along with Mr. Smith or K9.

Features

The sonic lipstick looked exactly like a normal lipstick on the outside. The lid came off and it twisted to reveal the emitter. When in use, the sonic lipstick generated a pinkish-red light, and produced several sounds. Like the Doctor's sonic screwdriver, it also remained ineffective against deadlock seals. The Slitheen described it as a sonic disruptor, (SJA: Revenge of the Slitheen) and Sarah Jane once threatened to destroy a talisman with sonic disruption. (SJA: Eye of the Gorgon)

Variants

Mark I

Uses
Sarah-Jane once claimed she could destroy the Gorgon's portal key with sonic disruptions from the lipstick, but this was never shown, so she could have been bluffing. (SJA: Eye of the Gorgon)
She also claimed to be able to block the frequency the Trickster was using to manifest himself, sending him back. (SJA: The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith)

Mark II

The Mark I was destroyed by commander Kaagh standing on it. (SJA: Enemy of the Bane) Then Sarah Jane Smith had another sonic lipstick in her bag, using it destroy the Tunguska Scroll and indicating that a girl can have more than one lipstick. It's unknown if the Doctor built more than one or if Sarah (perhaps with the help of K-9 or Mr Smith) made a duplicate.
