This product should be called No, I Won't Repurchase!
I received this product in my ChickAdvisor premium welcome bag. I was so very excited to try it out as the lipstick that came in the welcome bag wore off extremely quickly. I followed the directions to a t (shake, apply, let dry) but was not pleased with the results. I found that when I applied this topcoat, my lips felt almost gritty (the topcoat seemed to make the lipstick ball up a bit underneath and distribute strangely on my lips) which meant that I ended up mashing my lips together frequently. The first time I tried this product, I ate breakfast. I was pleased to discover no lipstick on my glass or cutlery - but when I looked in the mirror my lipstick was gone! Where did it go?!
I have tried this product a handful of times since then and every single time has been the same. One morning I applied it before work and about 30 minutes into my shift my coworker tipped me off that I needed to go look in the mirror - the lipcolor had disappeared from the center of my lips, leaving my lips looking like I was wearing liner only. NOT a good look!
Every single time I have used this product it has not worked. For $25 I cannot recommend it - it is a waste of money! It doesn't work as well as long lasting lipcolors and did nothing to increase the duration of my short-lasting lipsticks. No matter which lipstick I tried it with, the results were the same - the color disappeared just as quickly from my lips as it does when I do not wear the topcoat. The worst part? This product dries your lips out like nobody's business. Very uncomfortable. And if you touch your lips with a tissue (I have allergies, I am constantly blowing my nose and the tissue often touches me lips) the color comes right off.
The only claim this product followed through on was that it wouldn't leave lipstick on your glass/cup. This is true...it doesn't transfer to ceramic/glass. BUT that doesn't mean it stays on your lips either! Really wish I knew where the color disappeared to every time. Bottom line: don't waste your money on this product. Spoil yourself with a long lasting lipcolor instead - no top coat required.
Received this in my chickadvisor premium welcome package. I used this yesterday to seal in dark red lipstick. Firstly i found that this product faded my color significantly and second it didnt keep my lipstick from fading or coming off. When i went to take my lipstick off because it had faded so much it came off just as easily as if i hadn't used a sealant at all. Also found it dried my lips out.
