Keeping lipstick in place is quite tricky. However, there are a few tricks to help keep the lipstick on your lips! First, try using Chap Stick before you apply lipstick. It helps bring out the color and also helps your lipstick to stay on longer. Second, apply a nude lip liner or any color lip liner that matches with your lipstick. It will help keep the lipstick from "bleeding." Third, try using a matte (non-shiny) lipstick that's long-lasting. You can find them anywhere from Target to Sephora. If you're really worried about lipstick coming off under certain circumstances like kissing your boyfriend, try using a lip stain. It's usually in liquid form, but they do make lip stain balms also. Dab a drop or two on your lips and rub all over. It's pretty much staining your lips but in a nicer color than when your lips are stained from eating too much cherry pops. When you apply lip gloss, don't apply all over your lips. It gets too gunky and gooey. A little bit on the bottom of your lip and then rubbing your lips together is enough. Lastly, dusting a little bit of translucent, loose powder on your lips can help your lipstick stay on longer~

Suggestions:
Revlon-ColorStay Overtime (Target-should cost no more than $10)
Clinique-Long Last Soft Matte Lipstick (Department stores, Sephora-$14)
Sephora Brand-Maniac Long Wearing Lipstick (Sephora Only-$12)
Benefit- Benetint Lip/Cheek Stain (Department stores, Sephora-$28)
Laura Mercier-Lip Stain (Department stores, Sephora-$20)


Hope this is helpful!

  It Feels Like Candy - And Not in a Good Way 1/28/2008 07:32:00 PM
<--PREVIOUS  NEXT-->

When I don't get the chance to shop at Sephora or MAC, I tend to get my stuff at the local drugstore or even Walmart & Target. I'm on the beauty- on-a -budget deal right now.
That being said, I went out and bought Revlon's new Pinch Me Gel Blush in Peach Afterglow for a whopping $12.80. It's supposedly a sheer gel blush. Well it was a little too sheer and very disappointing. I wanted to look flushed like a child who spent the afternoon running around under the sun. In reality, it looked and felt like I melted some Jolly Rancher candy and rubbed it on my face. Actually, Jolly Rancher might've given me more color. Maybe I got the wrong color. The pump design also received a thumbs down for me. The first time I tried dispensing the gel, it was dried up and stiff. So I pressed the dispenser again - more hardened gel. So eager to try it out, I pushed it one more time and guess what? An entire crapload came out. So I'm sorry Revlon. If you're going to charge me 13 bucks for blush, you have to do better than that.
Fortunately, I can return it to my local Rite Aid. They've got a money back guarantee for cosmetics which I think is just super, especially since there are no testers for drugstore cosmetics. You can check if the Rite Aid near you has this same promotion going on at www.riteaid.com. Look up your local store and check it's Weekly Circular.

Ooh. Thanks for the warning. But honestly, I've always wanted to use those cheek stains, but I could never find a good one. I think all of them kinda made my skin a little blotchy. I feel like it's harder to apply then traditional blush... Do you have suggestions for any good brands?

There's something called BENETINT. It's from benefit.. it's a liquid cheek stain. It gives you a natural flushed look and stays on really long.. I tried it before.. But you know me, I like the dark dramatic bronze type blushes.. haha

i want one of those blushes that gives you a shimmer glow all day and doesn't look super obvious.
