So excited to trial this! Im desperate to find a good long wearing lippy that doesn't come off the minute I have my first latte.
This lip ink comes in a nice matte style container that is easy to pop in your handbag. I chose the colour ‘15 Lover’ as I thought it would be a good versatile day to day type colour that I could wear to work, and I was right. This soft pink colour would suit a wide variety of looks/outfits. The wand is a arrow shape with a nice sharp end which is great for getting those nice cupids bows on point, love it! I only had to dip the wand once and that had enough product on it to do my entire lip surface. After application, it is sticky for quite a while which is a little off-putting as I felt I needed a gloss or something to set it. As the day went on, I had my latte, my morning tea, drank water and no lip prints, yay I’m really liking this and can probably over-look the stickiness. I did find that it started to wear later in the day but, it was pretty subtle and not too noticeable so if you were in a meeting you wouldn't feel the need for a quick trip to the ladies to re-apply.
Over all, I really love this product and now want to buy the other colour and at $22.99 that is not too bad but I may wait till it comes on special (so I can buy more he he).
Well, I have to admit I absolutely loved the colour! when applying the product I found the applicator a little odd with a hole in the middle of the sponge-like end. Maybe this is a new thing but it did prevent me from having to redip to apply more and it didnt leak out when applying so that was great. The first day I used it found it lasted most of the day I was actually quite impressed as the most colour starts to disappear within hours but this product I managed to get a good 8 hours out of it, so a big thumbs up. The second day is where things fell apart a little I was disappointed at a function I went to my lip colour left lumpy lip ink on my wine glass and this wasn't just a small amount either it was clearly obvious (don't worry I know you are never going to prevent that) but compared to the other ladies my glass looked terribly worse and obvious. Overall I would use it again sparingly maybe with a non-sheen lip moisturiser to help prevent transfer and the colour is absolutely fantastic.
Tips: Use a lip moisturiser to help prevent transfer to glasses when out to functions.
