I bought a new lipstick the other day and as you do when i got home tried it out. This was on a Tuesday. Maxfactor lipfinity, which is one of these a liptint and then a separate lipgloss after. I made my tea and eat it, drank numerous brews and smoked a few cigarettes as well. When i went to bed at 2am it was still there. So scrubbed at it with makeup remover washed my face and went to bed. Got up next morning dived in the shower, ironed my uniform and went to brush my hair - the lipstick was STILL there. Scrubbed at it again with makeup remover, had my breakfast went to work and one of receptionists said how come you wearing makeup? STILL there. In fact by the time i came home at 8pm it was still there after eating, drinking brews. So if you want a lipstick that stays i'll recommend that one.

Wow that is staying power. i thought Bodyshop's lip stain was good but even that wears off.

Yes Shillelagh but Black lipstick is not really your colour

it'd be a bit of a bugger if you got the wrong colour wouldnt it

How many times did you reapply the top coat? That always makes me laugh when I see it on adverts, in small print it says - top coat may need to be reapplied. Surely, if you need to reapply the top coat that's like putting more lippy on?

Is it really edible? (because you can't avoid eating some)
The reason I ask is because there has been controversy recently about lead in some brands.

OK don't groan - this is my pet topic

I have a mayballine (sp) one, and that is just as good. It only needs applying once, and it stays all day.

It's similar to yours Jen, apply colour, then another white stick to go over the top of the colour.
