The sonic lipstick looked 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 family|Slitheen]] described it as a [[sonic disruptor]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Revenge of the Slitheen (TV story)|Revenge of the Slitheen]]'') and [[Sarah Jane Smith|Sarah Jane]] once threatened to destroy a [[talisman]] with sonic disruption. ([[TV]]: ''[[Eye of the Gorgon (TV story)|Eye of the Gorgon]]'') It ran on some sort of energy which could run out. ([[TV]]: ''[[Death of the Doctor (TV story)|Death of the Doctor]]'')
