Tuesdays with The Cost Cutting Cutie
Brand: Cover Girl
Product: Outlast Lipstain
Some girls buy shoes when they’re feeling down. I buy lipstick. Last week I decided that a new tube of pretty pink lipstick was exactly what I needed to remind me that spring would eventually come. Usually, I’d head for the L’Oreal display (there doesn’t seem to be a bad apple in THAT bunch), but instead I decided to branch out a bit and hit up the Covergirl aisle. I don’t tend to have much luck with CG, but I was encouraged by Drew Barrymore’s smiling face. After all, she did lead me to LASHBLAST.
Bad roll of the dice. This stuff is awful. First of all, I HATE the gimmicky marker applicator. Second, the color I chose (Power Pink), did not at all resemble the color of the tube it was encased in. Third, it made my lips look like I’d drunk the Kool-Aid (for REAL). Finally, even after exfoliating my lips, I looked like I just skied Jackson Hole without the benefit of a lip balm. Holy wind burn Batman!
In short, save your $7.89, or just go buy some L’Oreal Colour Riche and call it a day.
Cut Costs Cuties!
