I am Thankful for long lasting lipstick!
No really, I am!
I did not wear much makeup as a stay at home mommy. Ok I did not wear any makeup as a stay at home mommy. I was lucky to get both legs shaved at the same time.
Now that I work full time and my face is older (how does the outside age before the inside?) I needed some make up.
I was very disappointed by the stuff I was getting at Walmart. (where else do you get make up?) Then I met this lady that worked at a beauty supply shop that sold Bare Essentials. I'd seen the commercials, so I hussled on down there and tried it. I love it! It's pricy to begin with but I've had it for 2 years and I'm just now replacing the foundation. I still have oodles of the blush, finishing powder and shadow. I rarely wear mascara, I have it but I'm too lazy to take it off. Then there's the lipstick.
My sons girlfriend wear MAC. She swears by it and never wears anything else. Know how much that stuff is? $20.00! For a tube of lipstick! $20.00! I'm sure it's wonderful stuff but I'm not paying 20 bucks for a tube of lipstick. Still I need to wear lipstick because my lips, something happened to my lips, they are faded and dry. So Wet N Wild, 99 cents, that works for me. I can buy 20 different shades if I want. In our retched heat many times my lipstick becomes unusable blobs in my purse. For 99 cents I don't get too worked up over that. But it wears off quickly. I find myself reapplying it constantly. Or not because I am lazy.
Then a girlfriend told me about long lasting lipstick. I've seen the commercials but they are like 10 bucks for a tube and I don't know, you know, will it work? Will I hate the color and be out 10 bucks?
I am lazy and cheep.
I decide to try it.
I love it!
I found 2 colors that I love. It comes in a lip gloss type tube. (I guess you can't take this on the plane) It won't melt in my car. I apply it once in the morning, sometimes later in the afternoon. It's wonderful! And Wally World had it for under 8 bucks!
It's weird if you've never tried it. You apply the color and then it dries sticky and kind of yucky. Then you put on the clear top coat that comes with it and you're good to go. Sometimes I apply a little more top coat during the day as my lips get dry.
So if you've never tried long lasting lipstick, give it a try!
No I am not running out of things to be thankful for.

I wear Revlon smudge-proof lipstick. Not at home, 'cuz who sees me there. But for church or an evening out. I was tired of dropping my boys off at the church nursery with big lips plastered on their foreheads so I switched. Not that they're in the nursery anymore or lettin me kiss them, but I like that brand of lipstick.
I always wondered about Bare Essentials but hated to pay that much for it and not like it since I am NOT a make up person,but everyone seems to like it so I might give it a try.
Bare Essentials is wonderful. If you find a beauty supply place that carries it I encourage you to try it out. It is a powder, it goes on smooth with no lines or streaks. It looks sheer but I think it has great coverage, I don't have acne or anything but I hear women with skin flaws love it.
And it lasts forever. I use it every day and I've had the foundation for 2 years.
I will try the Revlon Smudge proof. I'm really liking the nicer brands of lipstick now.
Oh and I forgot. I am so lazy that I rarely wash it off at night. It is a more natural product and does not harm your skin.
