Keeping the Stick in Lipstick

Time for a post on grooming. Ladies, listen up because we've found something great.

Without lipstick, I feel naked. My lips are pale and lifeless. Most women benefit from some color on the face and lipstick is key. However, I talk to people all day and it wears off pretty fast. I find myself using "activities" in presentations as an opportunity to furtively reapply some color. And at meals and social events, I always leave lip evidence on my glass no matter how carefully I try to sip my Pinot Noir.

The Fix: Maybelline Superstay Lipcolor. Many of you know we are devoted to the BeautiControl cosmetics that we sell at our office. But I gotta tell you. This Maybelline product is great. It stays on all day. Through speeches. Through lunch and dinner. Looks great.

Application tips - this is a two step process:

  • Apply color end to absolutely clean lips
  • Wait two minutes for drying
  • Apply balm end
  • Reapply balm later as needed
Side effects? Dryness. If you use this product, you'll definitely need to baby your lips at night by using a remover and a lip recovery balm (we sell a great one).
OK, anything this great probably isn't metabolized in my liver, but unless the FDA issues a product recall, I'm going to enjoy the all day color and leave no trace on my coffee cup or napkin!
Color options are good and the price is right at around $8 and is available at all drugstores.
Shout out to Michelle Anderson, attorney at Citigroup, for letting us know about this great item!
