It lasted ALL night...

Last night was Lizzy's bachelorette party. It was lots of fun; it started at a great restaurant, went into some so-so bars, and ended at a strip club. Not a Chippendale's strip club, but a ladies getting half-nekkid strip club. Good times. There were a few stops for things like cupcakes eaten on 16th Street and hailing a cab from the middle of Valencia Street...so we were a bit all over the place, with lots of cosmos and mojitos and beer to keep us going.

I tried out the Cover Girl Outlast All-day Lipcolor last night. I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with the "all-day" lip thingies, because they are often a pain to put on, if you use liner it can get cruddy looking at some point in the wearing, and lots of times the stuff doesn't actually stay on. This stuff did...until it got taken off in a most dramatic and unusual way...see below.Here is my advice for getting this stuff on the right way:
1. Start with--you guessed it--lightly moisturized lips. Put your balm on when you start getting ready, then when it is time for lips blot them until almost all the balm is gone. This lip stuff doesn't stick to really lubed up lips.

2. Use the wand almost like a liner, and outline your lips carefully first with the lipcolor, then fill in the rest. You have to move kind of quickly at this point, because the stuff dries and then it is unmoveable.

3. While the lipcolor is still moist, add some liner on top of the part you already did so it makes a nice even outline...blend it in with the lipcolor as much as you can (the color will be pretty dry now, so it will be hard).

4. Wait a minute or two, and then put on the glossy top coat. Yippee! You won't have to put on color for a long time...you'll use the topcoat every now and then to keep your lips from cracking from dryness and looking super gross.

So, the color stayed on all night. I used a regular gloss on top to keep it moist. And then, when we were in Hustler Club, I was sitting at the stage giving away my dollar bills. One of the girls came up to get a dollar, took it with her mouth from my cleavage, and then gave me a full-on body rub with her boobies...and ended up with a nice pink lip mark on her bra. Which was white. Ha ha! I guess that was the moment the "all-day" part of my Outlast All-day Lipcolor ended.

GOOD TIMES!!
