Review- Priceline Goody Bag + Cover Girl Outlast Lip Pen
May 7, 2010 by Violet
Lots of people have been wondering what came in my Priceline bag XD
A few weeks ago those of your who follow me on Twitter would have heard all of my excited tweets about the Priceline goodie bag. For my non-Australian readers basically Priceline is a make up/beauty store here and every year they have a deal where if you spend $50 on certain brands you receive a bag full of fun products for around $150. They have lots of samples but even better they have full products too. And it all comes in a very sturdy bag.
If you want more information you should go and check out Chai Gyaru’s post about it all.
This is what came in mine:
Lots of hair products (yay!), Palmer’s moisturiser, lip glosses and false eyelashes :D
| I’ve got to say I was completely happy with how many products and how usable everything was! I spend the $50 on things that I actually needed and was going to buy anyway.
So as you were all so interested in what was in the pack I figured I would review them all ^_^
Some things I won’t be reviewing… like this Revlon Colour Stay Foundation which was waaaay to dark for me.
So first review!
CoverGirl Outlast Lip Stain
I’m not sure what the colour was called but the number is 425 and it’s a berry colour with slight purple tones. This one didn’t come with the goody bag but I bought it to make up the $50 to get it ^_^
Design:
I really liked the idea of a felt pen style applicator but after using it several times it definitely has it’s positives and negatives. For instance, the colour only comes out of the very tip of the felt part which makes application kind of awkward. Also have you ever tried to use a pen upside down for an extended period of time? The ink just runs the other way and it’s pretty much the same with this, doing your bottom lip is easy but depending on your technique getting the top lip perfect might be more difficult.
Colour:
I thought this was actually quite a versatile colour. the photo below is just one coat but if you layer it a couple of times you could get a nice dark plum tone.
Lasting power:
Holy bajeebus does this stay on for a long time! Seriously, this really is a “stain” in a literal sense. I even had trouble removing it at the end of the day with make up remover. One thing I found was that if you wear several coats it can wear unevenly during the day. I would definitely suggest using a lip balm or something underneath this because by itself it is kind of drying.
Verdict:
Even though it’s not perfect application I think it is fantastic as a base with a subtle lip gloss over the top for a little shine. I think the colour is really pretty and versatile, it’s a base colour that you could change so much depending on your outfit and mood. DO WANT.

I have the outlast lip stain too, and my colour comes out of the entire felt part, sides and all. I’ve never had a problem getting a good coverage on both top and bottom lip …
I wonder if mine is just faulty? I find Covergirl to be a bit hit and miss sometimes, I’ve bought the same mascara from their lash blast range several times and I swear each bottle behaves differently >_< Still I do love this colour!
I’ve heard of lip stains n love the idea but seldom find them in Malaysia =(
Oh that sucks! I love lip stains, it’s a great way to make your lip colour last through the day. Maybe order online :(
Oh~ I’m so glad you wrote about this lip stain~ I’ve been wondering for weeks if they were worth it or not!
I’ll check out the colors they have and see if there is one that would suit me~ thanks for the review!
Thanks Shmoo! I do really like it, I think it’s really nice for the price too. At my Priceline there were maybe 15 colours, I hope you find a nice one :D
Only one review? :’( moreee please! XD
Don’t worry, more are coming soon! I just didn’t want to put them all up at once because I’ve got so many!
Aww!! I didn’t get the lip stain! But from the looks of things, you got pretty stuff the same stuff as me! :D
The lip stain was one of the things I bought to make up the $50 ^_^ I think the main difference between yours and mine was you got all shampoos and I got all conditioners! XD
Do you at all know when the promotion is until? Chaigyaru’s post was about a fortnight ago so I’m wondering if priceline have this on still :(
There are more details here: http://www.priceline.com.au/treats-goody-bag-offer?type=gb_img
I walked past a Priceline today and I’m pretty sure I saw them there still, I think it might be a “until sold out” kind of thing.
hi, you are currently using D60 right? Are you using any other lens? Such as Nikkor lens, or Macro lens etc? Or just the original one?
Yes a Nikon D60, nope it’s all the original lens :)
great review i love the shade of the lipcolour ^^
Thank you, I love it too :D
i am curious to know if u will do anything deco-ing with the bag heehee
the lipcolor is so cute!
Heehee you guessed right! I will be deco-ing the bag to make it more my taste very soon, and there will definitely be a tutorial ;)
The lipstain looks like a handy thing to keep in your purse for emergencies when you dont have time to do lipstick properly!
Yes that’s a great idea! I think it could match almost any outfit too so keeping it in your handbag would be awesome :D
Hehe, at first I was convinced that it was a marker pen!! Until I re-read the name of it XD Lip stain looks like a good alternative to lipstick, I’ll definatly have a go!
I do love lip stains!
