Aveda lipstick never comes off. Two days later, it still looks like I’m wearing it.
You will pay more, but my God does it work. Get to a salon and grab some. I swear by it. It even lasted from before the wedding ceremony until well into the homeymoon with only one touch-up.
So, I’m getting the idea $10-12 dollars is a lot to spend for lipstick.
What’s a reasonable price? I’d be willing to pay it if it meant the difference between a woman’s lipstick coming off while she’s sucking my cock, or not.
Warning: the color on th box, the sample chart and the bottle itself are all wrong and all different. You MUST open the the bottle and LOOK at the actual color.
It depends on a great many things. I think of $10-$15 as average, and don’t start to cringe until I hear $19 for lipstick (but then, I couldn’t really buy drugstore lipstick that wasn’t a horrid mistake until I’d been buying it for years).
TIGG, amen.
I have given up putting on eyeliner and/or mascara unless I want to spend the next few days wearing eyeliner/mascara because it is simply going to be there whether or not I like it.
Disclaimer: I do not sell Mary Kay but I do use some of their products. But they will take back anything you don’t like, so no makeup drawer buildup (supposedly).
Runny mascara: Do you use a cream to take it off? The cream stays on your lashes, even after washing, causing it to run the next day. I have good luck with the normal Cover Girl mascara. It comes off with water, no soap needed.
I gave up lipstick long ago. I kiss too many babies and children! Only grammies can kiss kids and leave a big smooch-print behind. Not us youthful mommies.
Okay, so I drove to CVS about five minutes after reading this thread and I bought the Cover Girl Outlast lipstick. (I wanted the Lipfinity, but they didn’t have it).
Anyway, I applied the color, let it sit a minute, then glossed it. This was at about 6pm. I then ate baked ziti for dinner and had a butterscotch crimpet for dessert. I drank a Dr. Pepper, smoked a cigarette, chewed some gum and blew bubbles, and the stuff has not budged. I think I’m in love.
Thank you CoverGirl!
Oh yeah, what Stoid said about the color. I got one called Brazen Raisen, and it’s different from the color on the box. Next time I get paid, I’m going to pick out some more colors.
It is soooooooo dry. you feel like you have gunky putty on your lips.
It is a miserable experience.
and the colors are indeed horrid.
and yes, you can buy lip dye.
many companies make it: lancome, benefit, etc. the body shop makes one that looks like a magic marker.
note with these though: NO MISTAKES can be made. and if you have dry lips, forget it. it will dye unevenly…or travel up the lip.
a good inexpensive lipstick is covergirl. Now a days, some of the grocery store brands are just as good if not better that department store brands.
I spent this last week-end in intensive scientific research.
Lipfinity does indeed remain after numourous expeiments.
Next week-end I intend research the properties of Outlast.
Well, I have chronically dry lips stemming from my 7th grade addiction to Blistex (I don’t care what Cecil says…I’m addicted!). I apply a wad of Vaseline every night. But I just scrubbed my lips a little with my toothbrush, and the color went on evenly.
The mistake thing is true - this stuff ain’t coming off until I use Vaseline to clean my lips.
So, the update on the Outlast:
Baked Ziti - check
Crimpet - check
DP - check
cigarette - check
gum - check
some Extra BBQ doritoes - check
another DP - check
chewing on a pen cap for five minutes - check
numerous attempts to fix smudged corner - check
three reapplications of the gloss they give you - check
second cigarette - check
flat-out rubbing with my index finger - check
It ain’t going anywhere! Hooray! Mad props to my moms for lending me $8 for this stuff. I’ve seen the light.
Bad News Baboon has confirmed my Lipfinity fear. I don’t want it to be like thick red clay on my mouth. The thing I like about M.A.C. and Clinique lipsticks is they’re very smooth and rich.
And $12 for lipstick? Dream come true. This fucking piece of shit, asschapping M.A.C. shit is $17.50
Right…I mean, what am I talking about? I’m going to quit wearing make up, quit washing and styling my hair, just wear light blue sweatpants and Precious Moments sweatshirts while I watch One Life To Live and eat Stouffer’s French Bread Pizzas all day.
