Covergirl Outlast Lipstain

I want to be a lipstick kinda-girl. I love the shades, the colors, the different packaging. I think the perfect shade of lipstick can make a woman’s look go from basic to sharply pulled together in a heartbeat. But. I’m just not good at keeping up with the stuff. Sure, when I get dressed in the morning I swipe some color on my lips, but by the time I’ve had my first sip of coffee, it’s worn off and I am, frankly, just plain, no good at the upkeep.

This weekend however, I believe I discovered the perfect solution to my quandary in CoverGirl’s Outlast Lipstain. I know, I know, I didn’t believe the claims about how long it would last either until I tried it. The thing about this product is it’s just what they say it is – a stain. It looks like a felt tip marker and honestly, works in the same manner. I highlighted, er, I mean brushed a few strokes on in the morning and my lips took on a healthy, natural looking red shade. There’s no shimmer, no gloss, no wax. It’s not particularly fancy. But! It adds the color I’m always on the hunt for and not only stayed on through my morning coffee ritual but also lasted almost an entire day. At the beach.

That’s what I call a stain.

I went with the “Flirty Nude” shade myself, but there are several options to choose from. Now go forth and stain, you lipstick girl!

wow...amazing how some people don't know what is behind Cover-girl and MANY other companies. They animal test their products. which is an awful thing to do. Animals are beaten, poisoned, abused, tortured, cut open while still awake, gassed, starved,...AND MANY OTHER EXTREMELY HORRIBLE THINGS. Animal testing doesn't even work! 90% of people who try on products that are animal tested either die or get a serious disease!! we HAVE TO FIGHT AGAINST ANIMAL TESTING!!! BELIEVE ME, THERE ARE OTHER WAYS THAT PRODUCTS CAN BE TESTED INSTEAD OF USING ANIMALS.

Hello, anonymous....is that something like "lipstick on a pig" testing?

it goes way more than just that! for example: eyeliner is placed on a bunny. if the bunny becomes blind, or greatly infected, the people would say, "ok, this won't work on people, so let's mix something else and put it on another bunny." see this website..it shows only a cpouple of examples of what REALLY happens
