Mini Rouge

i got this in #400 (bright red). i didn't know what "stained lips" were at the time (it was about 2008 or something) and i used it for lip-staining, by smudging it with cherry Chapstick. because i liked the way it made me look like i was barely wearing any make-up. :)

this smells wonderful and also fits nicely in small purses and coin purses, but i hate how it dries my lips (even with Chapstick on). it like, sucked the life out of me like a Dementor's Kiss, okay? not cool. :|

I have the Anna Sui mini lip rouge in 702 which is pretty great. It has a slight rose scent, is highly pigmented, but it doesn't have a lot of staying power. It's great to use when you're layering lip colors, as you can come out with some pretty awesome results.

My only issue with this was the size. I felt that for $20, you should have gotten a lot more than a shallow pan...
