Lipsick Lushisness ft. The Mr. Chips

Hello all! Sometimes I see a pin and I know I just can't take everyone else's word for it, I HAVE to try it out myself!! From the second I saw this pin I knew that I HAD to try it. Then I found another one (the first one...I switched up the order for the big reveal!) and thought that while I was in the neighborhood I would give it a shot. I even got Chip in on this one ;) Stay tuned for outtakes at the end :)

Just to cover my basis, I am in no way saying that this poster is a false advertisement ...I am just relaying my own personal experiences. Nuff' said.

This fun pin helps you turn all of your favorite lipstick colors into lip stains so that they stay longer and won't transfer onto clothing, or anything else during the throws of a normal day. Here is my experience with this pin!

The Pinstrosity

I followed the steps shown in the poster by 1. Applying lipstick as normal.

I used one of my favorite moody mauve's, its called Summer Sunset by Maybelline.

2. Pressing a tissue (or TP, because that is what I have) to the lips.

3. Dabbing powder (I used baby powder) to the lips over the tissue.

and voila...only no voila here.

To me it just felt more like I had blotted the lipstick with a tissue. It still had that sticky lipstick feel and it wasn't even all that matte in real life. I felt that this one was a Pinstrosity. If I was looking for a lip stain I would probably just wear a lip stain and not go through all the trouble of the powder and tissue dance.

Now for the fun one ;)

I've had my eye on this one for MONTHS!!!

P.S. This girl has Jessica Rabbit lips, bravo to you lady.

The Pinstrosi-win-ity

(See what I did there)

I put concealer on first...nude lip anyone?

Then I lined the lip in black eyeliner (harder than it looks!!)

I used Are You Red-y also by Maybelline for this one.

I put the lipstick on my lips like normal.

And blended...which ended up looking like this.

And so I cleaned it up...

Not too bad! It's dark, but I like it. It has a sort of 90's gothic look that I really love. Not an everyday look, but it could be fun and it really wasn't too bad to replicate.

And now what you all have been waiting for, the outtakes!!

This was the first picture I took with the black lip liner...I couldn't stop laughing!!
