I don't hate these, i don't love it but i barely, rarely use it. And on the occasion i actually use it, i wipe it off pretty quickly. Now, it would be wonderful if my lipstick can last all day, but with Pro Longwear, the tradeoff is uncomfortable dry-ish lips. When i wear this, I feel like the stuff on my lips are balling up and looking weird. I also find that the the gloss side is used up much faster (they do sell that part alone where you can attach) - but why not just include enough?. The pros though is that they have a wide range of colors. And i feel that if someone is blessed with super soft and moist lips, they can rock this no problem. Overall, i don't recommend this product for people with lips on the dryer side.
