Question for the Makeup Knowledgeable!
I purchased some red lipstick over the summer and wore it a bit then, but I want to start wearing it more now (like to class and such), but I don't want to have to worry about reapplying it every hour. Any tips to help with this? I know red is a high maintenance color, but I want it a low maintenance as possible!

Drinks for the Drinking Nonthusiast: Terrapin Beer Company's Gamma Ray
The Contestant:
Gamma Ray
The Review:
I went on a beer hunt today for a specific beer (which I did find, and will review later), but while I was on that quest, I ran into this monster and had to pick it up. Needless to say, the superhero-themed labeling forced me to buy it.
What are you're initial thoughts?
*ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE FACE* Holy ball, Batman, this beer is strong. Lesson learned, read the ABV before purchasing any beer claiming to be a "monster" of a brew. Actually, I should probably look at the ABVs all the time.... This lovely little beer has twice the amount of alcohol in it that any other beer I usually drink. According to the website, "This Gamma Ray will stop any super hero’s arch enemies in their tracks!" In all honesty, I don't think I can actually even finish the glass I have sitting next to me, it is that strong. I guess that makes me a supervillian! The flavor is sweet, but with a hoppy bitterness that is stronger than I expected in a wheat beer. I guess that is what makes it a "wheatwine." My roommate had a sip and told me it reminded her more of wine than beer, but she isn't a beer or wine drinker, so we have to take her evaluation with that in mind. As for the color, Gamma Ray is an innocent amber color. It hides its strength well!
How's the price?
I paid around $10 for a 4 pack. That is definitely a lot more than I would like to spend on beer, but it was worth the experience.
Would you ever buy this again?
Nope. It is too strong for me to even enjoy the flavor. I am interested in trying Terrapin's other brews, especially the Sunray Wheat and Moo-Hoo Chocolate Milk Stout (never the Monster brews though!)
