Upon seeing the commercial for this lip color I grew more and more interested. The main woman within the ad is quite active reporting on news stories and drinking out of various glasses all the while her lips stay a luscious color of red. I have tried other long wear lipsticks and they have been a major disappointment. But I am always on the prowl for something new and interesting to try. So I went to my local grocery store because I knew they would have it. I love that you can get make up in a grocery store. You need food, water, and other necessities but make-up is a little luxury where you can try something new. Trying new make-up is just fun. I search through the various colors provided and settle on "Perpetual Plum" another reason why love using/trying make-up: the names they give these things provide me with much amusement.
I get home and cannot wait to try it on. Alas, the time has come to open the box, and slide the color across my lips. I made the decision for a color within the plum family and it was the right one. My lips are not overly sticky or dry. I put the top coat over my lips to set in the color and am thoroughly impressed. I begin to think about, "Maybe she's born with it. Maybe it's Maybelline." whoever thought of that was a genius. I go about the rest of my day. I eat, drink, and do a news story. I go to check a mirror and to my amazement perpetual plum is still alive and kicking on my face. This stuff really works and would say that it is Lauren Approved.
My suggestion is that you either get a bolder color if you venture out a lot in the evening and do not want to carry it around OR get a more natural color that will will last you all day without constant trips to the bathroom or mirror to reapplication. Most importantly, have fun deciding on your color as well as wearing it. I like to get a variety of different types of colors. You never know what the next day will bring. Change it up every once in a while. Everyday could be a little reinvention for yourself.
Happy Shopping,
Lauren Schmuck
