I've mentioned before that I am a rather girly girl. I love pink and frills and makeup... although I prefer it all to come with a punkish twist. I, however, was not blessed with a nice complexion. As a result, I have horribly dry skin and lips and no skin care routine seems to help. The advent of powder foundation was my face's salvation, but I've struggled with what to do about my lips. It looks funny to do up one's entire face yet leave one's lips all naked and stuff. But it looks equally funny to go around with lipstick on super-dry lips. It gathers in the cracks and draws further attention to them. As the day goes on, bits flake off. Lip gloss was a good compromise, except that reapplying it every hour gets old (and expensive). Imagine how excited I am, thanks to my mad couponing skills, to have scored a super cheap Covergirl Outlast Lipstain. This is the product poor, crunchy lips have been waiting for. It looks like a marker. You color it on like a marker. It feels like marker ink on your lips (until it dries... which only takes a moment). The end result is a very natural looking color. And it does “outlast” most other lip products, but you can still expect to reapply at least once. It doesn't rub off because of eating or drinking (or kissing), but it seems to fade away as the day goes on. There's no settling in the cracks. There's no flaking off. There is also no heavy make up feeling. All in all, I'd have to recommend this product.
