Long Wearing Drugstore Gems!

Long Wearing Drugstore Gems!

Today I wanted to share with you some makeup that I wore out on Saturday night.  The look was 100% drugstore, and I was so so impressed with how everything held up throughout the evening.  Especially the lipstick.
J and I went out for date night (yay!) to a Draft House.  We wanted to sit at the bar, but everything was full so we decided to play pool while we waited.  Well, we were having so much fun that we just ordered a bunch of appetizers, some beer, and played the entire evening!  And I have to let it be known that I won our first game and then proceeded to suck the rest of the night.

Anyway, we ordered a pitcher of beer, cheese fries, a chicken quesadilla, wings and regular fries (call me captain fatty, whatever, I really like french fries, ha).  Anyway, I didn’t really care what my makeup was doing, and had pretty much made my peace with the fact that my lipstick probably looked all wonky from all the greasy food.  It (Rimmel Provacolips) claimed to be long wearing (16 hours) but we’ve all heard that before. 
Y’all.  These pictures were taken (with horrible lighting in my tiny bathroom) at the end of the night just before I washed my face because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.  I didn’t touch up any of the makeup throughout the evening.  And I have the oiliest skin known to man.  I never blotted, reapplied, powdered, nothing.  These aren’t the greatest pictures ever, but you’ll see what I’m talking about!

I want to talk about the lip product for a second.  This is one of those dual ended products that you apply the color, let it dry, then you apply the “gloss.”  We’re all familiar with that tight, sticky feeling that these types of products have.

This one doesn’t feel that way.  

After everything set, I didn’t feel this stuff on my lips at all (which is a huge part of the reason I’d just assumed it rubbed off).  My lips never felt dry or uncomfortable at all.  The clear “gloss” feels much more like a moisturizing balm.  It isn’t goopy or sticky, it’s incredibly comfortable!

I’ve never been more impressed with a lip product in my entire life.  I intend to grab a few more of these.  They’re brand new releases, but I’m under the impression they’re limited edition, so be sure to grab a few!  I found them at Walgreens!
