I sell Mary Kay & I'm trying to get my business up & running, just not having any luck at the moment. So I try to wear a different "day" look everyday when I leave for the office. One day last week, I wore one of the new Mary Kay LTD. ED. lipstick that counts, I can't remember which color, created a nice base w/ a Mary Kay lip pencil, & the color was amazing! It stayed on ALL day! That's even after drinking who knows how many cups of tea or coffee, lunch etc. I had to use makeup remover when I was taking my face off to remove most of the color! I did touch up just slightly, once after lunch. Of course I typically re-powder my face & put a little gloss on...but other than I that, I was really impressed w/ the color.
The next day, I thought I would try the N.Y.C brand...I found a beautiful rich blueish pinky color & I wanted to try it out. I used N.Y.C. lip pencil to create my base & slapped on this in your face pink color...yes, the rest of my face was very neutral. I touched up twice before lunch & as I was leaving the restaurant to go back to the office, I just whipped out my little mirror (I bought myself a new "grill" so I always check if there is anything in my braces after I eat) & it wasn't a pretty sight. By that time, most of the lipstick itself wore off, leaving behind a blueish tint, but the worst part was...I was left behind w/ those harsh lines of lip liner (oh you know what I'm talking about)! I had filled in my lips completely that morning w/ the lip liner prior to the lipstick (the trick to insure that would not happen) & that still wore off!
I immediately put on a tinted lip balm of mine from Mary Kay (Peony) which helped my lips out until I got home. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to bash another makeup company, I still think that pink is beautiful, it's just not for an all day thing for me.
