Surprise win

[faithellen]

Today, Mr. Mailman brought me a little pink and green cosmetic case full of Maybelline products, as a first prize win (grand prize was a trip to NY). Their Great Lash mascara is always great, but now I get to try other products for free. (I am always tempted in drugstores but never want to plump for unknowns.)

First up, the Superstay lipcolor. "Apply color to your lips. Allow to dry. Apply balm." Pretty standard instructions. After 5 minutes, my lips were still tacky, and the color is damn near the exact shade of my lips in the first place. When I put the balm on, some of the color came off. Opinion: Glorified Chap-stick. I will stick with MAC ProLongWear.

On a completely different note, for those of you involved in the technical side of theatre (sm_jen, I'm looking at you), you should go read THIS, now.

See, I've had really good luck with the Superstay. I usually use the CoverGirl Outlast (http://www.covergirl.com/cgcollection/lips/mini_outlast/index.jhtml;jsessionid=QAOXI5VLMZ2TNQFIAJ13OCQ), but the Superstay had a color I wanted to try. On my lips, there's no discernable difference in texture between the Superstay and the Outlast.

How on EARTH do you find out about all of these sweepstakes?

If you do it at all seriously, I highly recommend getting a premium membership (aka "going green"). The prizes are MUCH better.
