I bought one of these lipsticks last summer and used it on my wedding day--I think the color I chose was called Hibiscus?? It was a pretty orchid pink color. I didn't love the way it looked on my lips at first . It dried really quickly and I had to use my fingers to smooth it into an even application. But once it was set, it looked pretty. I HATED the topcoat--it wasn't moisturizing at all for me, so I used my clear C.O. Bigelow MenthaShine gloss over it. That way, I had the shine I love and long-wearing color underneath. And the color didn't budge all day and looks lovely in my wedding photos.

I'd buy it again if I had an occasion that I needed long-wearing makeup for, but otherwise, it's not something I see myself using on a regular basis at all.

I thought fantastic this is cheap and will work all day and look great...Was I ever WRONG! The color dries out your lips and always comes off the inner lip, the gloss is good but, I have other glosses if that's what I'm looking for. I so hoped this would work...it just didn't!

I generally don't like long wear lipsticks, but I saw this at a drugstore the other day and it was marked down, so I figured I might as well try it. I ended up really liking this, actually. It was very easy to apply. This was one of the least drying long wear lipsticks that I've tried. I didn't really like the way it tasted, but as long as I didn't get any in my mouth I was fine. It had minimal flaking, which is an issue I've had with other lipsticks like this. It definitely didn't last 16 hours like the package says it will, but it did last for a good 5 or 6 hours, a couple of bottles of water, and a meal, so I can't really complain.

After trying this for a day it was downgraded to my "forgotten" drawer of make-up products that have failed to meet my expectations. What a waste of money! The color faded in about 2 hours. The lip balm was actually okay. Other than that - I regret this buy!
