A bit expensive, but stays on all day !

Proper application is pretty easy with this lipstick. It goes on easy and I usually put 2 coats on in the morning, followed by the included glossy sealant. This lipstick will easily last the better part of the day as long as I stay away from oily food and drinks. Anything oil based will start to remove it, but if you avoid oil based foods for the day, it really will last all day and stay pretty vibrant. It can feel like it's drying out your lips a bit, but reapplication of the gloss takes that away. Overall, this lipstick is well worth the price in my opinion!

Of all the long-lasting lip products I've ever tried, this is by far the most effective. The stain really does last all day and the moisturizing top coat is amazing. It passed the food/drink test with flying colours.

I received #2 Rosewood free to test, which wears a little more brown than suits my colouring. However, I'm sold enough on the effectiveness and pigmentation that I would definitely be interested in trying another shade.

Lipstick just the way I like it! I got Aqua Rouge in #8, which is a bright scarlet. It's a little less forgiving during application than my other two-steps (where all I have to do if I mess up is quickly swipe the mistake with tissue), but the colour is so extremely pigmented and wonderfully vibrant. Living up to the two-step lipstick name, this one stays on all day and passes the food/drink/kiss test, which makes Aqua Rouge my new go-to!

This is officially one of my top favourite lip colour products right now. The stain gloss duo gives you amazing colour, just as shown through the packaging, and a high-shine gloss that will last you many hours before having to re-apply. I have tried this product in 8 Iconic Red and 10 Raspberry (my favourite), and will hopefully try other shades in the future. The stain colour is very pigmented and once it sets and the clear gloss is applied over top, you are in for many hour of wear. I know that I've made it through 12 hours without reapplying this and little to no product came off out of cups that I drank out of. The only downfall is that it takes quite the effort to take off at the end of the day. Definitely my recommendation for long lasting lip colour!
