This post MUST start out with this admission: I know NOTHING
about lipstick. That is, I know what I don’t like – and therefore rarely, if
ever, wear it.
So why would I ask you to take my advice? If you’re like me
and have an unresolved hatred for lipcolor – this discovery will change your
life, promise. If you’re a fanatic, well, take it or leave it – but something
that can make a lipstick-hater do a 180 can’t be bad, right?
Last night at CVS, I picked up one of the new
Revlon JustBitten lipstains. The whim was a combination of things – about 75% of it was
how much I love how Emma Stone looks in their ads, but my color selection
(Lovesick) 100% came from the blogging world. I can’t stop seeing fuchsia lips
everywhere, and I had to try. I even tried 5 different shades (mostly NARS) at
Sephora last week but I couldn’t justify spending $20+ on something I knew I
would never wear.

So yeah, it's everywhere. Yes, it's a trend - and even though I'm not a lipstick girl, how can you resist Miss Blair?
That's right, you can't. And then there are these lovelies:

So, down to business. Why is this lipstain/balm so magical?
