RATING (out of 5 stars):
4.5 stars
COST: $22 for .05 oz tube
THE SKINNY: As we all know, I
have a slight* lipstick addiction. The only problem with red lipstick
on a Casper-esque skintone is that when it feathers, everybody can
see it. Who wants to look like a crazy old cat lady with lipstick
bleeding outside the lip line? Not me. Well, at least not for another
20 years. Until then, I had to find the Miracle Bra version of lip
primers, something that you can’t openly see, but would keep my
lipstick high and perky—right where it’s supposed to be.
Enter Mary Kay Timewise Age Fighting
Lip Primer. I got suckered into a “facial” by a MK saleslady a
few years back (by “facial,” they really mean they will let you
try out their products, get you hooked and then you’ll be selling
blood plasma to pay for the subsequent addiction issues). When she
waved the little wand under my nose and promised that it would keep
my lipstick from migrating and help erase lip lines in the process, I
had to try it (and several other items as my free facial turned into
$150 worth of product. Yikes!).
I cannot praise this little while tube
enough. It is not a lip conditioner or moisturizer, but rather
provides a strong base upon which to build your lipstick art. It goes
on smoothly and dries quickly. It locks onto your lipstick like Paula
Deen locks onto a stick of butter — it doesn’t let go. The life
of the lipstick is greatly extended (I’ll be honest, I’m lazy and
can’t be bothered to reapply often). As for the minimization of
fine lines, I’m not sure, but hey, it can’t hurt. It’s worth
buying this only for the lipstick grabbing ability.
KEEP OR TOSS: Seriously? Gotta
keep this winner! If you are a lipstick addict, you have to add it to
your bag. And keep the crazy cat lady at bay.
