I love this: Revlon colorburst balm stain

It moisturizes, it goes on easily, and it stays all day without reapplying - like, 16+ hours.
I have Sweetheart, Rendezvous, and Smitten.
After all day at work (this is color Sweetheart). 
I never used to wear lipstick, because it's a pain in the butt. But these are actually balm stains, and the color stays the whole day, regardless of the number of coffees I drink. For those chapstick or lip balm addicts like myself, you can actually apply right over it: the color still stays.

Now let's see, let me relate this to running, since this is primarily a running blog...well, actually, it does relate to running. Running cuts into my morning-routine time, and I'm always looking for shortcuts in my already brief prep for my day. Sometimes that means skipping makeup. But now I can just smear some balm stain on in the car, and it looks like I sort of care. It's slightly more put-together than no makeup at all (see above... if it weren't for the hot pink lips, I'd look like I just rolled out of bed). So there you have it. Runners' lipstick.

    I like it and will have to try it. I've been hooked on Mary Kay lipsticks for about a decade since they're the only ones that have worked for me -- stay most of the day with no reapplication. Who ARE those people who touch up their makeup all day long?

      Have you tried Rendezvous? It looks bright orange, but over natural pinkness of lips, it's this great coral. It's actually my favorite.

    If I didn't know you any better I would start looking around at the bottom of this post for the Revlon sponsorship notice. ;) My go-to is another Revlon product, the lip butter, which is super sheer and layer-able and which my chapped lips can use in place of lip balm. If I used any sort of lip colour with any regularity at all I'd try out the balm stains, they look pretty good on you!
