For a true cosmetic buff, how could I not try Zalan's $1 lippies with interesting colors and such darling paper packaging?

Can you say cute! The packaging makes me happy.

And if you happen to be a Zeta, the top of the lippie package has a crown and a Z. These would make cute, cute big or little sis gifts. Or new recruit gifts.

I threw these into a Cherry Culture order just for fun. Book Girl bought one of the colors too.

Can you say I'm an equal opportunity customer! I bought 3 of the 4 shades. I'll add the other colors as I wear them.

From the ridiculous to the sublime, from the price of Chanel lippies to Zalan. I've got them all.

Purple Haze Quite a fashion forward color
This is a little dark for me for daytime, but I'm wearing a very dark purple shirt, and it's a match. And I'm more of a gloss addict now, than lipstick.

It's hard to get the color to show up. The flash is picking up red. But, in fact, it is a very dark, almost Chanel Vamp color, very deep wine. With sheen, no glitter. It's quite pretty, in a very dark way.

Deeper skin tones could wear this one beautifully. It would be a vampy wine-neutral.

5 hours later, after lunch and snacking

I could distribute the color just by smooshing my lips together. As you can see, it didn't migrate. It still has nice color, and right up until this last snacking it felt like there was still quite a bit of lipstick/moisture. Now it feels more like a stain.

My take:
From the first application, I knew this wasn't a Chanel. It is quite waxy going on, which is a good thing, because I don't think it is going to migrate, and for a color this dark, that is a plus.

Book Girl
That's really interesting and very dark.

It doesn't feel dry at all, but it feels waxy, yet moist.
