CoverGirl Outlast Lip Stain

Introducing our First Giveaway!!!

Consider me a product of all of the movies that take place in days of yore, where the heroine is always a fresh-faced, pink-cheeked maiden with beautiful berry lips. Since before I started wearing makeup, I longed for that perfect sheer crimson lip, the one that looks as if the owner of said lips was just born under a lucky star and effused that “flushed and bruised from a good, hard kiss” look.

I really have (almost) found my perfect lip stain. While most others are straight liquid, it is hard to get them to stay within the lip line, and oftentimes they will actually drip. Or they just go on too heavy, not heavy enough, or they fade. When I saw the magazine ad for Cover Girl’s new lip stain, I was beyond excited, and started looking in the aisles when I visited the store immediately. I luckily did not have to wait long, and I promptly bought three different colors: Wild Berry Wink, Teasing Blush, and Flirty Nude. I love them. They work just like a marker – it’s a Sharpie for your lips! You can literally line your lips and just draw it right in. I highly recommend wearing a balm over it, as it can be a bit drying, but not as bad as most other long-lasting lipsticks, which make my lips peel almost instantly. My favorite is the Wild Berry Wink, a gorgeous red that looks bold but not slutty. The darker colors do tend to settle into the lines of your lips a bit, but a tiny reapplication will solve that. Just make sure your lips are well-exfoliated before applying, or you’ll look like an extra in Fight Club, and then finish with lip-balm or lip-gloss. Then go make out for a really long time.

I recommended it to Missy, and she bought the Cinnamon Smile, which I have since also bought, but I’ll let her put in her two cents.

Missy's take: Kelli introduced me to this great lip stain a few weeks ago and the very next day I headed to Target to grab one in Cinnamon Smile, but they were sold out. Luckily, Kelli found one at her Target, and picked it up for me. You can usually get them there for around $8 or for about $10 at the drugstore.

The first time I put this on I was instantly thrown back to being about 6 or 7 years old. I loved scented markers because they had a funny taste to them and would often use them as lipstick, much to the dismay of my mother. It is honestly so much like those old markers that it kind of weirded me out at first! But I was sold when I realized that it works perfect and lasts a long time!

I don't like a really deeply tinted lipstick since I have smaller lips so I use this mainly as an under-layer for my gloss to give it a little more color. I love the Cinnamon shade since it's brown with just the right amount of red tinting to it. It glides on smooth and you can saturate it for a really dramatic look or put on a thin layer for something more subtle.
