Now, on to the review and coupon!
My husband and I spent this past weekend wine tasting in Paso Robles, CA.  I decided this would be the ultimate test of a long lasting lipcolor.  One of the most important things about wine tasting is that you don't wear lip color that will transfer to the glasses.  I usually don't wear lip color when wine tasting, but decided to put Maybelline SuperStay 24 to the test.  It passed on all counts!  I applied the lip color in the morning at 10am and we headed out.   Just like all long lasting lip color, it feels extremely dry when you put it on.  Maybelline SuperStay 24 has the moisturizing balm built right in the applicator (on the other end of the lip color), so it is handy all day.  I did have to reapply the moisturizer several times to keep my lips feeling soft.  There was no transfer of lip color to the glasses and my lips still looked great after two wineries.  Then we had lunch...  in all honesty, I did have to reapply my lip color after lunch because I ate a juicy, yummy Gyro sandwich (juicy being the key word... juicy = greasy and lots of wipes of the mouth)   I haven't found any long lasting lip colors that will stand up to anything greasy (I guess that is why it says to remove with an oil-based makeup remover).  So I reapplied and we headed out to 2 more wineries.  My lip color looked fantastic at 4:45 when we returned to the hotel.  We had to rush to dinner and luckily, I didn't need to reapply my lip color (see the picture below), just a quick swipe of the moisturizing balm and I was off for the night!

Disclaimer: As a Bzz Agent, I received 4 full size tubes of Maybelline Superstay 24 hour lipcolor before writing this review, and this is my personal opinion of the product.


I have to share the pictures below from our trip.  They don't have anything to do with lip color, but I thought they were so pretty.  There is something about farms that I love!

Wine Making

A couple of months ago, we got the opportunity to join a wine making group named Woof Woof Winery.  Living in this area of California has been great!  The wine group is mostly E.J. Gallo employees (Gallo's headquarters is in Modesto), with the leader being the director of training for Gallo.  He has all the wine making stuff at his house and a small temperature controlled  building built in his back yard (AKA "The Dog House").  So far, we have had 2 working days.  On the first Saturday, David went out with them and they picked a bunch of grapes (don't remember what the weight was, but it was a crate about 4'x4'x4').  Sarah had a soccer game that morning, so I joined them back at the Dog House to help with the rest.

This was the first step of wine making... crushing the grapes (no, not really... this was just for show... I hope we didn't really use these grapes!)

This is what we used to crush the grapes (the gray crate in the back of the truck was full of grapes).

Here, they were putting grapes in the hopper, the guy in the back was turning the crank to crush the grapes.

Here I am, picking stems and leaves out of the grapes after they have been crushed.  It was a messy, messy, sticky job, but it was great!

All of the grapes and juice went into a large fermenting tank where it sat working it's magic for a few days... during the week some of the group did some stuff to the wine (can't remember all the details, it was a little over a month ago).  We are making 2 wines.  One of them is a Repasso wine. This is "re-passing" a lighter wine over a bigger wine's "squeezings" which adds body, color and flavor, and kicks off a secondary fermentation that boosts it's alcoholic content. (YIPPEE.... can't wait till that's ready!). 

While some were crushing grapes, others were emptying last years port out of the barrels so that it could be bottled.  Once all of the port was in the big steel thing, they bottled and corked it.

The next weekend we pumped the wine into the barrels, pressed the grapes and labeled the port bottles from the week before.

This isn't the actual wine press we used (someone forgot the camera that day)... but you get the idea.  Ours was a little bigger and had a round crank on the side.

At the end of both work sessions, lunch and lots of wine are served.  It was nice to try several of the previous years wines.  Most of them were really, really good.  At the end of the 2nd work day, we tried the Repasso wine that we are making.  It was finished fermenting and all that stuff, but hadn't aged yet, so it wasn't very good yet. We are both looking forward to the final product of this years work.

And finally, after each work day, we got to take home a bottle of previous vintages as "payment"... we both chose the Sir-Ahhh and the Chewed Shoe Cabernet.  They were both very good!

We have a Christmas party coming up in December and some other activities, such as coming up with a name and label for this years wine and some other activities.  I'll keep you posted!
