mr.sketch for your lips

So maybe it was an impulse triggered by my preteen love for Drew Barrymore, but yesterday when I went to Shopper's to get some chocolat de l'halloween, something deeply buried inside me (ie. lack of willpower) made me buy the Cover Girl Outlast Lipstain, which Drew Barrymore is the face of, in 'Coy Coral'.

Ok. First? This coral is most definitely not coy. It is loud, and obnoxious, and not in a fun I-just-did-a-few-shots-of-tequila way. Coral normally looks great on me, and I absolutely love the MAC coral stain, but this is more orangey than coral, and makes my newly crest white stripped teeth look like I've been a chain-smoker my whole life.

And that's not even the worst part. I envisioned that it would be a soft brush, like every other lip application tool out there. It is a felt marker tip. I instantly had flashbacks to when I was 7 years old and I would accidentally on purpose get Mr.Sketch markets all over my lips. It smelled good, ok?

I guess the one positive thing about it is that it is indeed a stain. I have had a little puff puff, had a glass of wine, and have washed my face and the stuff still has not come off my lips. It does, however, look like I am a 4 year old at a soccer tournament who just drank a lot of McDonalds orange drink.

The number of uses I predict I'm going to get out of it? 3.
