A Quick Fix for Wine-Stained Lips!
Red wine. Love it, drink it, but don't wear it! Every time I enjoy a glass of my favorite ruby-red vino, I'm left with a pesky wine-stained pout and no, not the flattering kind. If you're Monday night happy hour has become Tuesday morning trouble, we've got a quick fix for you! Read on after the jump.
Wine-inspired lip colors may be popular on the runway, but when your lips are stained with the real deal, the look is more hangover-worthy than hot. I've tried everything from vigorous scrubbing, lotion rubbing and even tooth brushing my lips, only to be left with a faded form of the embarrassing tell-tale tint.

So this time I reached for something right in my refrigerator, a lemon! Just rub a small lemon wedge over your lips to break up the stain. You'll start to see the reddish color come off onto the wedge. Then, using the corner of a washcloth, gently rub the rest of the stain off with soap and water. It will come off easily and your lips won't be sore from scrubbing.
Look forward to leaving your Monday night where it belongs!
