Those Wet n Wild Lip Stains, and the Best Hair Product I've Found in 2015

Hi lovelies!  Just wanted to follow up with you about those awesome Wet n Wild lip stains.  The full name of the product is "Wet n Wild MegaSlicks Balm Stain Moisturizing Lip Color," which is a mouthful.  As I mentioned before, they cost $2.99, and they are kind of my favorite lip product ever.  And I have tried basically all of the lipsticks out there-- high end, drugstore, what have you.  The qualities that I'm looking for in a holy grail lip color, which these totally have, are: 1) long-lasting; 2) won't kiss off on my baby, my husband, or any of the other people who I kiss regularly and don't give me the side-eye when it comes to physical contact or affection, ahem; 3) a range of pretty colors, preferably that are sheer-ish with a texture that isn't too cake-y. 

I have tried SIX of the existing range of twelve colors because, as I mentioned before, these things cost $2.99.  So I could get one Nars lipstick or six Wet n Wilds. 

Just a forewarning, the color names are insane.

THE HITS are:
"Red-dy or Not" (sheer medium-toned red)
"Rico Mauve" (a your-lips-but-better pinky mauve)
"Lady and the Vamp" (looks scary in the tube, but is a very pretty sheer berry)

THE MAYBES, DEPENDING ON YOUR SITUATION AND DESTINATION are:
"See if I Carrot" (sheer coral/orange, good maybe for the beach or summer)
"Caffeine Fix" (a really natural tan/pink -- I just like a more dramatic look, but it's a pretty color)
"Red-ioactive" (this color is CRAZY-- it looks red in the tube but is bright neon pink/red-- I kind of love it, but it requires a very specific outfit and styling)

It's not at all drying, the balm part wears off after a few hours, but the stain lasts a very long time. 

TL:DR -- everyone should buy this product.

Now for the hair product recommendation.  I just discovered Big Sexy Hair Powder Play Volumizing & Texturizing Powder.  Has anyone else used this?  It's awesome.  It's NOT a budget-friendly product.  You get a tiny little container for like $16.  But it does seem like the container will last a while; you use just a little bit at a time.  It's kind of like a dry shampoo, in that I use it on my roots on day-two or day-three hair, and it makes them way less greasy and gives a ton of good volume.  You just sprinkle it on, and then kind of scrunch it in.  Also, it's a white powder, but it blends in pretty instantly.  It's a game-changer for slightly dirty hair.
