For all day lip color, skip lipstick all together and go for a lip pencil.  The lip pencil has the ability to “stain” the lips far longer than ordinary lipstick.  After applying a great lip pencil shade to your lips, use a gloss or lip balm on top for moisture.  Lip pencils outlast lipstick by almost double the time.  And lip pencils are generally less expensive than lipsticks.  Go buy a handful of lip pencils and experiment on your lips.

I have just found my new favorite lipstick!  Covergirl Outlast All Day Lip Color.  Amazing!  Let’s discuss.

Who it’s for:  This lipstick is great if you love a very matte lipstick that doesn’t come off on coffee cups or your man.  Much in the way a lipstick pencil would be on the entire surface of the lips.   Unlike all-day lipsticks of the past, this formula feels lightweight on the lips.

It also comes with a clear balm/gloss stick that allows you to moisturize the lips and give you a “slick” or “glossy” feel if that’s what you are going for.  Without exaggeration, this lipstick had 13 hours of staying power!  Impressive.   And it feels like you aren’t even wearing lipstick.

The selection of colors is huge….I found the shade of Lingering Spice to accentuate my lip’s natural color, yet made them pop!  This lipstick definitely brings out the sexy in your lips.

The staying power lasts so long, that you literally need to remove it with a makeup remover or baby oil at the end of the day.

Star Rating:  Five stars for Covergirl Outlast All-Day Lipstick.  Fantastic!

For lip color that lasts all day long, try this… Use a lip pencil to color the entire lips.  Next, blot lips to “seal” the color onto the lips.  This will create a matte look and will “stain” the lips and lock in the color.

Your lips will maintain the color for most of the day.  Lips are also more kissable when they are not layered with a gloss finish.  Great lip color that won’t come off on him….love that!

Periodically apply a great lip balm to the lips to moisturize, as a lip pencil can be somewhat dry and matte on the lips.

Don’t you just hate when you get to the bottom of your favorite lipstick?  You know it’s gone and you should just let it go, but you also know that there’s still a third of the lipstick left in the base of the tube.

You also know that if you really, really love that lipstick, you’ll start digging into the base of it with tools (and sometimes, not even a lip brush…like the cap of a eyeliner pencil).  …Don’t judge, you know you’ve done that.

Well, finally someone has done something about this travesty of wasted lipstick.  Jill Quillin (let’s just call her a genius from here on), created the LipStix Remix.

This cool tool allows you to capture all the waste.  You simply empty your lipstick containers of the lipstick to the very base of the container.  You can use various lipsticks to create your own custom shade.

This can save thousands of dollars alone from buying lipstick that you didn’t like once you ended up getting home and trying it on.  Simply mix that color with one that  you like.  That’s recycling at it’s finest!  *Team Earth*

This is an absolute must have for everyone who wears lipstick.   Check out the video to see how it’s done.  You can visit their website here:  LipStixRemix.

This is my absolute favorite makeup look, soft eyes and bold lips.  It works for me, but play up your best feature.  My favorite lip look is wearing a lip pencil over the entire lips.  You can follow this with a tiny bit of lip balm or gloss if  it feels too dry.  The advantage of this is that it “stains” the lip with color, as if you’re not wearing wearing lipstick at all.  You have all the color, but none of the glossy/sticky mess.  And it’s completely kiss-proof.  Pencils have great staying power, too.  You’ll apply the lip pencil to your lips far less often than  you would a lipstick or gloss.  Best of all, they are less expensive than lipsticks.  It’s a win/win.

Proof that everyone looks good in red lipstick.   When is the last time you wore red lipstick?  I’ve been a red-lips fan since childhood.  It works on every hair color, every skin tone.  It’s the epitome of sexy…we love that!
