So honey, you think you're lips are ready for some stainin'?
think again.

You want yourself to look pretty darn awsome, dont you? so do yourself a favour,

and RUN your butt off to the sink, and lightly exfoliate your lips with a warm towel or lightly brush them with a toothbrush!

all exfoliated are we?

Alright,
Go Grab yourself a box of food colouring.
that's right, good old RED food colouring.

and i'm not even joking when i say,the food colourng in the picture is what i used!

Now here's the fun part,
dab a LITTLE a tinyy bit (reealllyy small!) and smear it carefully,

KEYWORD: CAREFULLY onto your lips.

Okay, so run to the mirror..
(ill wait..)

Back? DID YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SAW?
well i sure did! i had my very own lipstain for about 3 bucks! pretty awsome yeh?

The lowdown of this lipstain?
it doesnt only stain your lips, it stains your finger too. so unless you REALLLY have a problem with having a reddish finger tip, i'd say knock yourself OUT!

- also, this isnt something you'd want to do without a mirror. A mirror iS NECESSASRY.

- And, i swear i wasnt joking that you need only a tiny bit.
a tiny drop really does go a long way...

- If you're an avid lip-picker like myself, you need to test this out on a saturday night or sometime where you're not going to mind a mistake. Because, depending on how chapped your lips are, the food coloring may or may not suit you. so please DON'T try this out before a big date!

anndd... TAA-DAAH!

you now have a
"i-just-been-sucking-on-a-popsicle-Look"
you like you like?
okay so it may not be all "laura mercier"

but common? for 3 bucks its pretty great no? you can even transfer your food coloring to a nice schmancy little bottle, add water to dilute the colour down a bit, if it's too strong for your liking.

and then you'll be on you merry way 15 bucks richer ! :)
