Really does last all day

When they say this stays on all day, they mean it! I apply once per directions, and then throughout the day I just use whatever lip balm I have on me to moisturize; it refreshes the look and keeps my lips happy - the color stays, but the moisturizing top coat does not. The lip color itself is sticky and I've used better applicators, but it's not hard to put on at all. It dries quickly. There's been a little bit of color transfer onto the top coat brush applicator, but once the top coat is on, the color isn't getting on anything. I've been looking for something to use for my upcoming wedding, and I think this is it, because it lasts through food and coffee and I won't be leaving any color on the groom's lips, which I am sure he'll appreciate ;). This is the Endless Spice color (bought in the grocery store because the product images are really bad at representing the actual color on Amazon, and at least in store I could see what I was buying!). I am not a selfie person, and pardon the wet hair :). The color on the photo isn't perfect, but you can see that it's more pink than the bottle looks.

I love it!

I love this thing! I now have it on subscribe and save. My favorite color is Unlimited Mulberry. Looks great on medium skin. I don't like the clear gloss that comes with it because it gets too shiny. But you need to put something over it to get rid of the sticky feeling. I just use lipbalm(any lipbalm - Burt's bees or chapstick) so it's not sticky and stays somewhat matte. I used Rimmel Exxagerate lip liner in Obsession(#064) color

... over 75 bucks on lipsense and now I feel like such a fool

I spent over 75 bucks on lipsense and now I feel like such a fool! I originally bought this product hoping it would save me money on the glossy gloss that lipsense makes you buy for an outrageous price but I quickly learned to love this! For one it doesn't burn my lips or make them flake ( as much) as lipsense did. Also you don't have to apply the gloss all the darn time or at all for that matter! If you want a matte color then no gloss. Yes it's a little sticky but nothing I can't deal with. The only down side that I noticed is that it did come off on my teeth a lot. After a few days I realized the finger trick helps to prevent that ( finger around lips and pull off excess color). Seriously I know I'm compairing to lipsense a lot but I really cant believe I spent so much on that product when this is very comparable and even in some ways better!

This is truly an all day wear! Love it

So this review is for the bare maximum color. It's a very light brown/plum color (see picture). It's really pretty! Also, this is truly an all day wear! It stays on even after eating/drinking. The picture posted is after 5 hrs of wearing it and after lunch... and as you can tell, it is still very vibrant. You do have to apply the gloss every few hours, or at least I do because I like the glossy look and feel. My only concern now is that I'm gonna run out of gloss WAY before I run out of the color. Glad I bought this!

It works!

Review by AJ Ruley. This picture was after 10 hours and 2 meals! (No extra gloss before this photo) I know someone who sells LipSense and she swore there is no other product like it, no other lipsticks that stay on for long hours and don't transfer to cups/napkins etc... well there is and I've found it! I will definitely be trying the darker colors, but the red has passed my test!

Long lasting, even for a trombone major!

I bought this in "Always Sienna," which was a bit more of a wine color than I expected, but still worked well for my complexion. As a trombonist, I'm always looking for "trombone-proof" lipsticks and stains that can endure my lips physically vibrating in order to play my instrument, and, while there was some wear on the inside of my lips (see second picture), overall, the lipstick still wore unexpectedly well even after playing. The first picture was actually taken after going swimming, as well, which had no impact on the lipstick.

It lasts!

I rarely review the products I buy. I made it a point to review this one. I applied this product at 8:30am. After my wedding ceremony (lots of kissing), doing wine, and eating lunch, the color held fast. I looked in the mirror at 3:00pm and was amazed at how it looked. No smear or color transfer on my glass, fork, or husband either.

Lasts long and the color stays great :)

I love, love, love this lipstick! It truly does last 16 hours! It's amazing. I remove it with coconut oil and a cloth and it works well :) the color is beautiful and looks pretty close to the tube for comparison. Comfortable wear and you can choose to add the gloss again throughout the day if you want more moisture. I wouldn't use your own Chapstick on top, though, or else it comes off sooner. Update: I also would advise against doing multiple coats. Even the temptation to just touch it up a bit... If too much of this stuff gets in one area it starts getting chunky and comes off easily and feels gross on your lips. So if you're going to eat oily foods, be careful, otherwise it still stays on pretty well. Just make sure to do just one solid, even coat when you first put it on and just let it be.

Seeing is believing

I bought one for my mother. She could not believe that the color would stay for HOURS! Even after eating greasy food, the color stays on. This Bare Maximum color is very close to healthy lip color (just slightly darker). It makes my mom's lips look nice without being obvious. The only way my mom noticed the lipstick is the shimmer. It is also not too drying. My mother doesn't use the clear gloss and looks fine with this lipcolor. Because of the positive feedback I bought the rum and iris color for myself. Enduring Iris is a pale pink color (you can't tell from the color shown without applying). If you like the pale lip look, you may like this pale pink color. The Everlasting Rum is darker than Bare Maximum. It also has more a dark red hue to it (not overpoweringly so). If you are darker skinned, you may like this shade.

Great red long lasting lipstick

Love this color. It is long lasting and great for medium skin tones. I did have an issue once with it getting on my teeth when I applied too much. Let it dry slightly before applying the gloss to set the look and all night color. It's not sticky and it does not transfer to other things like your glass or napkin.
