One of my earliest memories was playing with my cousin’s makeup. I would hide in the bathroom and paint my face and put on layers of mascara and inevitably get in a lot of trouble. As a small child, I can remember being in tow when all of the females would make the visit to the Merrill Norman salon. I would watch in envy while their faces where painted in some hot pink mask. I have no idea what that pink stuff did, but I wanted my face covered in it.

As I progressed to a teenager, with a heavy hand on the eye shadow, my cousin took me to the department store for my first makeover. I have been hooked ever since! I literally cannot pass a makeup counter without trying or buying something. My two biggest obsessions are the longest lasting lipstick and the mascara which will give me long thick lashes. Skin care and anti-frizz hair products follow closely after.

I am a sucker for fancy packaging and the newest, best and so-called promised product that will turn me into one of the glamorous beauties in the latest fashion magazine. Unfortunately for me, most products don’t live up to the hype promised by the advertisement.

Therefore, I’ve decided, along with the help of some of my not so obsessive friends and family to post products that we tried so you can decide if you want to spend your money!

I can't get this stuff off!

My quest might be over.  Again on Pinterest, I found a product called LipSense by Sene Gence Long Lasting Liquid Lip Color.  I applied the gloss like color yesterday afternoon.  Apparently you need to shake before application because it burned my lips like crazy.  This morning at 7:30AM I applied it again (after shaking vigorously) in the three layers as recommended.  It is now 5PM and it's still on my lips.  They look a little pruney and are very dry, but the color is still going.

They offer one of the largest assortment of colors to choose from that I've ever seen and the tube sells for $25.
