Get Your Gloss On

I hope your morning coffee experience was better than mine.

No, I will not stop using it.  I should use the mug it comes with, but I like using my Hawaii mug.  Of course it tipped over and fell after I had added the sugar.

Since it is freezing and flat again, I will use this time to make inane posts about lip gloss.  First up we have the combo that I have found to work the best.  Now, a bit about me:  I am lazy.  I have a teeny mouth.  I forget to reapply.  I drink.  I lose stuff rather easily, so I don't like to pay more than $8 for any cosmetic. I feel that lip glosses are a cheap way to make yourself feel pretty.

This combo stays on the longest, and will often stain glassware.  Highly recommended.
Cover Girl Outlast Lipstain goes on first.  It is dry, so you can't wear it alone.  You can even go outside your lipline!  Then put L'Oreal Infallible 6-Hour Lipgloss over it.  Any other long wearing gloss is drying and disgusting.   This duo will stay on through anything and lasts about four hours.  Only drawback is that the Infallible gloss doesn't taste very good.

So if you want to add a third coat, I would suggest Cover Girl Shine Blast or Maybelline Shinesational.  Both taste good and are glossy without much pigment.  If you are looking for gloss and pigment, I'd go with Revlon ColorStay Mineral Lipglaze.  But it's too matte for me, so I usually blot a little and put on a gloss topcoat that tastes good.

If you want a piece of crap drying lipgloss, I'd go with Cover Girl Wetslicks AmazeMint gloss.  (It's the one with the blue cap.) It tastes like toothpaste.  And I think it's supposed to freshen your breath?  Except that Cover Girl forgot how drying toothpaste is.  Definintely don't recommend this one.  Unless you have halitosis and a weird-colored tongue that you need to camouflage.  Don't put this stuff on your lips!
