I got color number 415, Teasing Blush, to try out. This product from CoverGirl has a marker or pen applicator for your lips unlike regular tube lipsticks. It is water based so it shouldn't dry out your lips and doesn't feel heavy or look thick. It is supposed to last far longer than regular lipstick and isn't supposed to kiss or rub off onto anything. No leaving color on your teeth or cup.
Well, I was told that exfoliating your lips before using this product works better so you have more of an even application. It says to apply it to clean, dry lips. There are several methods I know to exfoliate lips. You could: use petroleum jelly and a wet washcloth, softly rub with a sugar scrub, manually exfoliate with a very soft toothbrush, or use a micro-exfoliating scrub made especially for the lips. When exfoliating lips it is best to start slow, rub gently, and then moisturize.
It was pretty simple to apply it correctly so it goes on smoothly. When using the Outlast Lipstain I found that putting a gloss over it made it shimmer instead of look flat. After drying fully (this does take some time and patience) it does seem to stay put. Although I had a bit of trouble with it if I licked my lips. If you lick your lips they have a raspberry-vanilla scent and flavor so they don't taste horrible. I have heard the applicator dries out easily and quickly, but if you store it like a pen or marker should be stored, tip down, then that problem should be solved.
All in all I liked the product and after thoroughly drying it stayed on for roughly 4 hours. I personally like to put a gloss or lip balm over it because it wasn't as moisturizing as I would have liked. It's suggested retail is $7.29 for one lipstain and they come in other colors that will compliment your skin tone.

One of my favorite times of the day is sipping/savoring a good cup of tea on my own. I like the quiet alone time. Call me a tea connoisseur. I love tasting different varieties and flavors. This yummy herbal tea contains a wonderful blend of floral Egyptian Chamomile, cool spearmint from the Pacific Northwest, West Indian/Guatemalan lemongrass, tilia flowers, blackberry leaves, orange blossoms, hawthorn and rosebuds. This tea has an added ingredient that the regular sleepytime tea doesn't have: valerian, trusted as a sleep aid since the days of the Greeks and Romans because of its mild sedative properties. It has a wonderful full flavor, helps you feel relaxed and promotes a good nights sleep. -

Panera Bread is one of my favorite restaurants! I love the atmosphere of the whole place and the food there is scrumptious, filling, and healthy! What more could you ask, really? Their Bakery Menu is where you'll find their freshly baked breads, bagels, baked egg souffles, pastries and sweets. Their Cafe Menu is where you'll find their sandwiches, soups, hand-tossed salads, beverages and their Panera Kids menu. My kids love to eat there as well because they know they are getting a healthy meal and they get to pick from a variety of great things! -

Ladies, if you haven't heard of the Bra Barrette you are missing out on a great little gadget. Bra Barrettes are made of a flexible, durable plastic that simply fixes your straps so they won't go anywhere. I hate when my bra straps slide down my shoulders! But, don't let the name deceive you. This isn't just for bra straps! I also wear mine with my: spaghetti strap tank tops and strappy dresses over t-shirts to sport that fashionable but still modest look, camisole straps under a dress shirt or jacket, and swimsuit. It is so comfortable that sometimes I forget I am even wearing it. I received the yellow Hibiscus charm with silver Bra Barrette and a plain clear one to try out. Unfortunately, I didn't have much that matched the yellow Hibiscus charm with silver Bra Barrette except for my bathing suit. I guess it is time for me to go clothes shopping or maybe Bra Barrette shopping :)
Since these also come in a variety of colors and styles to choose from you can pick from plain to hold straps under a shirt to ones with Swarovski crystals to go with that little black dress and bring some bling to your back. They are also going to be unveiling more sizes very soon to accommodate the very petite and the broader shouldered woman. You can even mix and match charms with the Charmed line of Bra Barrettes.
My favorites are the Dolphin Charmed Copper, Swarovski Crystal Volcano Teardrop, Antique Multi-Colored Crystals Drop, Plumeria, CRYSTALLIZED - Swarovski Elements AB Crystal De Art, Copper Filigree Teardrop Charmed Black, Pink Orange Flower Charmed Silver, and the Sealife Charm Pack.
