My New Fave Lip Stain: ...Sharpies?

Okay, I know this sounds crazy. About a week ago, I bought a huge pack of multi-colored Sharpies.  I just like to have lots of colorful writing utensils for my calendar, planner, etc and I figured that a 24-pack of brightly-colored delights would be perfect.

Once I opened the package, I noticed that there were three or four colors that would make fabulous lip shades.  After quickly double checking to make sure that they were non-toxic, I took the bright cherry red one into the bathroom and went to work. I basically drew over my lips, lining them first and then filling them in. The result was great. I added a bit of gloss on top and the color lasted all day. 

There's a light pink hue that I like even more than the cherry red, but alas I haven't got a picture of me wearing it.

Anyway, this is the longest-lasting "lip stain" I've ever tried.  There's a color for everyone, and the marker makes application a breeze.

Though Sharpies are "permanent" markers, I found that the colored ones came off with my normal makeup remover.

Soooo, I'm basically a genious and have discovered the best lip stain ever.

Thoughts?
