I was pretty excited about this campaign since I love makeup but am lazy about reapplying lipstick, plus this is pretty much exactly like Urban Decay's "Ink" Lip Stain but half the price. </p><p>What's great about it:</p><ul><li><strong>Stays on</strong>- yep just like the promise, it stays where you put it, no feathering, smearing, or embarrassing smudges on your teeth.</li><li><strong>Great with lipgloss</strong>- way better than smeary lipstick under lipgloss, and it will actually stay where you put it.</li><li><strong>Precision tip</strong>- the applicator is exactly like a marker, so you can just draw on the color.</li><li><strong>Price-</strong>I've seen outlast lipstain in drugstores for $7-9 and there are always coupons and sales on covergirl products so it's very reasonably priced.</li><li><strong>No lingering aftertaste</strong>- since it's not constantly dissolving off your lips it doesn't leave that weird lipstick...</li></ul>...

Every single other card I had was willing to work stuff out with me- and guess what- they got their money.  I should also mention that before I got preggo with DD and had to stop working I had been with discover card for seven years and NEVER had a late payment, and always paid above the minium- it's not like I was some life-long deadbeat.</p><p>Oh and their "cash back" thing is worthless. In my seven years with discover card I got like $20 back which was less than one month of interest</p>...
