Oh ho-ho! Experimenting with festive red lips, I came across this little beauty of a product:

Pixi’s Lip Blush in ‘Love’. Check out the intense red pout above! This felt-tip pen lip stain is so easy to use – the fine tip outlines precisely whilst the edge can be used to fill in the gaps. The result is brilliant – the photograph shows one quick application with no additional products. I didn’t find the stain drying, but if you wanted to you could top off with a lip balm or gloss for a more glam finish.

Here’s the Lip Blush after a lip exfoliating session:

It’s still on! If that isn’t long-lasting then I really don’t know what is.

Pixi Lip Blush in ‘Love’ is at Boots online here, £12.50: http://tidd.ly/9ab4c87e
