Even after all these years of wearing make-up and trying this product and that product the one thing that still intimidates me is lipstick. Some women can pull it off and look amazing (Scarlett Johansson, Gwen Stefani, Angelina Jolie, you get the picture) but how do you know if you are one of those women? Instead of trying to figure it out I have just stuck with my sparkly gloss and my rosebud salve, but recently I found myself thinking if only my lips had a little more color, then my look would be complete!
After weeks of procrastinating (for really no good reason) I finally made it to CVS and got myself CoverGirl Outlast Lipstain in color 415-Teasing Blush. After looking at all of the colors available online I wish I had gone in sooner because a lot of the colors, like 430-coy coral, and 435-flirty nude that I would have loved to try were sold out!
That being said, I am absolutely in love with this product! I use it on just-licked lips (the directions say to use on dry lips but it is harder to blend the color when your lips are dry) and lightly fill in my lips, then rub them together to make sure the color is even (sidenote: it even smells and tastes good!). I apply lip balm on top of my lips to moisturize and seal, and voila! It instantly amps up my daytime look without being too obvious.
The color (415-Teasing Blush) works great for my medium/tan complexion, giving me a nice pop of sexy, just-bitten color. This also lasts forever! I put it on in the morning before an eight hour workday, and when I went out to dinner my lipcolor was still there as if I had just applied it. I love the concept of a lipstain, and I love CoverGirl's affordable, quality take on such a great idea. I love products that make my beauty routine shorter, and this is one must-have that takes seconds to apply and tens of hours to fade away.
Let me know your experience with lipsticks and lipstains. If you've tried one of CoverGirl's more expensive counterparts I would love to hear about your experience! Reader reviews are always welcome and wanted!

Lipstick scares me a bit too. I always feel like I'm over doing it when I where it. I'm a major lipgloss fiend though. I usually have at least two colors with me at all times. I have tried a lip stain from Smashbox. I don't even know what it's called b/c it's so old! I got it when Robinson's May was going out of biz. It's a double-sided wand; one side with a red stain and the other side has a clear gloss. I've barely used it b/c it's just not really me, you know? I may have to whip it out and give it another chance.
