I didn't die...I just went to NYC

Hello,

I have been seriously slacking on the blogging lately - I actually had a life there for like 2 weeks and it was to much to handle! :)

I just got back from a 4 day trip to New York City and it was wonderful!  If you follow me on Instagram you already saw about 20 pictures but I'm going to leave one more here and a promise to get back to business on Thursday!

NYC 16 hour Smooch Proof Lip Stain...lasts about 6

Hello:
Today I tried out NYC's 16 Hour Smooch Proof Lip Stain in color #494 Smooch Proof.  It comes in packaging much like Revlon's lip stain but without the balm. 

It goes on just like you are putting a marker to your lips, it's definitely a product you would want to put on moisturized lips.

Initial application

It definitely looks "brighter" in real life, and I added lip balm over it after an hour and it looked its best during my wear.

After 2.5 hours, no eating or drinking

After 5.5 hours, ate a salad and drank thru a straw...no more lip stain for me!

I probably could have kept it on longer by reapplying a lip balm every half hour or so, but I wanted to see how long it would last.  3 hours of color seems to be the limit.  I am shocked that they say 16... there is no way.  But it's an inexpensive stain and easy to carry in the purse so I may try another color and keep the balm handy.
