Ask a Beauty Blogger: Stop Feathering Lippies!

Fortunately, this is a problem I only seem to have with a few red lipsticks. No matter how young you are, or how perfectly you line your lips, there is always a lipstick that will bleed on to your skin. Luckily there are a few reverse lip liners to prevent this from happening. While concealer will sometimes help, what you really need is a product that basically creates a barrier around your lips to prevent your lippie from bleeding out all over your skin.
My favorite is the Soothing Lip Primer from Simply Vera Wang. Some reverse lip liners are just that: a lip liner. A waxy pencil you line carefully around your lip, honestly that's kind of annoying.

The Soothing Lip Primer is a lotion (that does have a very slightly waxy feel) that goes on with a fingertip on the skin around your lips, this makes it much easier and faster to apply. I use it over makeup, and you really only need the very smallest of amounts. A pea sized amount is about 8 or 10 applications for me. So, yes, very little! Smooth it around and you're done.

1 little tube is $32.50, but will last for pretty much forever. You can only get it at Kohl's.

Simply Vera Makeup Line Review: A New Choice at Kohl's

Vera Wang is mostly known for her super pricy line of wedding gowns (which, trust me, are well worth their price). Some people know about her lower priced line, available exclusively at Kohl's. The line includes shoes, women's clothing, even home items. But, it recently expanded to include beauty items. The line is produced by Beauty Bank, a division of Estée Lauder (they're also behind the Flirt line at Kohl's). This isn't really a lower priced Estée Lauder line, think of it as just another Estée Lauder line. The quality seemed to be the same to me, and the prices are pretty equivalent.

I was able to try out a pretty wide array of products from this line including a tinted moisturizer, lip line primer, eye shadows and lipsticks. Read on to see what I thought.
