A few weeks ago, an old friend of mine, Kelsi, reached out to me and asked if I would be interested in testing out a line of products she sells called LipSense.LipSense is a long lasting lip-color that won’t smear, rub off, kiss off, and is waterproof. I’d seen a few posts on Facebook and had been invited to a few groups as well. I usually just scrolled right on by the LipSense posts, but when she offered to send me a few samples, I was willing to test out the gloss to see what the hype was about.
When my Starter Set (base lip color, ‘top coat’ gloss, and a remover) arrived at my door step, I was anxious to try the colors I selected. Normally I wear bright pink or red hues, but I decided to keep it a bit neutral for some classic, every day colors. I selected Sheer Berry & First Love. I was nervous they were a bit ‘grandma-ish’ at first, but I loved how much of an everyday color each provided.
My initial reaction when I put it on (which you’ll see in the video below), is that it was a bit tingly, I’m not sure if I’m the only who experiences that, but it feels like a lip plumper. I wasn’t a fan of the smell of the lip color, but you get over it. Some lip products just smell more delicious than others. The gloss is very silky and the application is smooth. Now, the true test was if the color would last all day like it claims it will….check out for yourself in the video below from the first day I tried the product:
Much to my surprise, the color lasted all day! It was definitely not as bright as when I initially put it on in the morning, but it outlasted, by far, any other lipstick I’ve worn. I ate breakfast and lunch, drank a cup of coffee, and the only thing I needed to reapply was the gloss – I prefer a shiny gloss look to a matte if I’m wearing color.
Overall, testing out the product definitely changed my mind and I’m anxious to order more colors to add to my collection. I recommend this product, especially if you like to wear bold colors but are afraid of smearing your lipstick or getting it on your teeth!
If you are interested in purchasing LipSense – make sure to reach out to Kelsi on her Facebook page! The price range is a little more than a drug-store find, but worth every penny. The lip-colors cost between $20-$25 and they offer over 70 shades of their Long Lasting shades of Colors, plus a number of top coat options (gloss, matte, etc.). Due to the 2-3 step layering process I showed in my video above – you can also mix and match colors to find your perfect shade! My favorite part is that the products are cruelty-free and formulated with safe ingredients.
