How To Get Your Lipstick to Last All Day - Even After Eating and Drinking

OK I admit it. The title "How To Get..." is a bit misleading. It implies I am going to show you a trick to get your lipstick - as in the one you are wearing right now- to last all day. Frankly I don't know how to do that. Every tip I've read in the "glamour" magazines suggest multiple steps that sound cumbersome and well, don't seem to work that well anyway.

I guess the title of this page should be "HELLO WORLD! The lipstick I am wearing will stay on all day. Don't you want some too?" It's true. My lipstick really does stay on all day.... it lasts through coffee breaks and my lunchtime spin class. I put it on first thing in the morning - takes less than 30 seconds - and I don't worry about it again.... at all.... during the day.

What about you?

Have you tried long lasting lipstick before?

When I first tried this lipstick, I had never used long lasting lipstick before. I had no idea what to expect. The whole semi-permanent lipstick idea was brand new at the time. This was the first company to come out with a no-wax long lasting formula. (Since then, it seems everyone has jumped on the long lasting bandwagon but NOTHING I tried has worked as well as this does.)

I stumbled on this lipstick quite by accident. Actually it was my mother who showed it to me.

When my mother told me her lipstick wasn't going to rub off on her napkin I couldn't believe it!

I had to try it myself. Turns out the long lasting lipstick is called LipSense; I took one my mother had home with me to try it out.

Day 1: I wore LipSense on my 6 mile run. In the Georgia summer heat. The day I tested the LipSense this guy riding his bike stopped to ask directions. I was mortified to be caught running with makeup on. (guy friends later assured me he didn't notice) I wanted to explain but we weren't talking about lipstick. Anyway I got home and the LipSense still looked perfect.

LipSense Before Running LipSense After Running

(Picture on the left is before the run - in case you couldn't tell.)

Day 2: The next day I wore Dark Pink LipSense swimming. I probably swam for an hour. After the swim I caught a glimpse of myself in the locker room mirror. I looked like a synchronized swimming star with my white swim cap and PERFECT Dark Pink lips. I was startled, but.... WOW!

Day 3: On the third day I was on a consulting engagement. When I am doing consulting work, I am at the office by 7am and I don't leave until after 7pm. The Dark Pink LipSense held up all day. Through breakfast, 2 snack breaks, all day coffee and lunch (they feed us well). I had never had lipstick stay on like that.

And you know what, even with all the running and swimming, my lips didn't get dry. Now at the time it wouldn't even have occurred to me. But since then I have heard people say that some long lasting brands have made their lips dry. LipSense is quite the opposite; the shea butter actually heals any dryness you might have. (I'll give you my theory and research into why some brands seem to dry you out. If you are interested, just ask.)

What if LipSense works for you like it does for me?

Picture yourself putting on your lipstick in the morning before you leave for work or a long day of carpooling and family errands. And then... you don't worry about your lipstick again. You will be able to go from your office to a lunch to a boardroom meeting without a touch-up. And it feels light and comfortable on your lips - you won't even know it is there. That is until you look in the mirror at the end of the day and go wow! I look great.

How Can You Get LipSense for Yourself?

LipSense isn't sold in stores - you can only get it from licensed distributors like me. LipSense was created by a small company that wants to have a very personal business model. And that is what I give you - a personal business. Though the Internet may seem impersonal - it really isn't. Call me, talk to me, email me - let me help you pick out your color.

Lip color just gives you that little bright spark

Even though I have known about LipSense for four years, I still go wow! when I see someone trying LipSense for the first time. I am still amazed at how much better she looks with LipSense. You would think I would be used to the change in her by now but I am still thrilled to see how much nicer my new customer looks.

Maybe it is because most women lose their lip color not long after they leave home. And most of us look better with some lip color. Lip color just gives you that little bright spark -and with LipSense you can keep that spark all day long.

Regular LipSense colors are $20 each and the Diamond colors are $25 each. (LipSense Diamond colors have real diamond dust in them. If by "diamond dust" you are picturing a disco ball on your lips, let me put you at ease. The effect is a subtle shimmer that is gorgeous in sunlight and candlelight. )

If you wear LipSense every day, a tube will last you 5-6 months. (That's what they tell me, I don't know - I never wear the same color two days in a row.)

LipSense Best Buy

Your best buy is to get the LipSense Starter Set. The starter set comes with 1 LipSense long lasting lipcolor, 1 Shea Butter Gloss and 1 Ooops! Remover. Sold separately, the three products can be purchased for $42. Purchased in a set, you can get them for a 10% discount. Once you have chosen your color on the next page, choose the option "Add as set". For a limited time only, to test my new shopping cart, you can get FREE shipping. Once you have chosen your color on the next page, choose the shipping option "test shopping cart". I am not sure how long I will need to do the test, so the FREE shipping could end any day.

Get LipSense today and try it out

You will be amazed the first day you wear it how long at lasts. After a few days, the shea butter gloss will start to heal your dry lips and you will love LipSense even more. The first couple of times you try it, your lips might tingle a bit. That's normal for those of us with dry lips. It goes away immediately when you put on the gloss and goes away completely after you wear the gloss for a few days. I'd even wear the gloss when you go to bed for the first few days. If, for some reason, it turns out not to work for you, just send it back to me ASAP for a prompt refund (minus shipping and handling). I mean, some people don't like Ben & Jerry's - go figure. If you aren't happy with it, send it back.

You know what, you probably should use LipSense for one week pretty much exclusively. I have found if women do this, 99% of them become loyal LipSense wearers. In fact, most of them tell me they can no longer imagine wearing anything else.

Now if you just can't wait to get LipSense for yourself, I will be happy to send it to you via Priority Mail. Expedited shipping is only $4.50. For a limited time only, to test my new shopping cart, you can get FREE regular shipping. Once you have chosen your color, choose the shipping option "test shopping cart" I am not sure how long I will need to do the test, so the FREE shipping could end any day.

P.S. Are you the skeptical sort? If the before/ after pictures and the video aren't convincing you to give LipSense a try -see what these TV stations had to say:

"LipSense works!"

I drank a soda, ate a meal, wiped gently with a napkin, and even kissed a refrigerator (don't ask) before finally accepting that this stuff wasn't coming off without some serious effort.

Megan also tried removing the LipSense and experienced the same difficulties, though she was thrilled to find them. She had also applied some lip liner (not LipSense liner) and THAT was coming off while the LipSense stayed on. The girls who tried LipSense were genuinely impressed with it.

If you're intrigued by the new lipsticks that promise "kiss-proof" lips, we put some of the long-wearing lipsticks to the test, including ones by Revlon, Maybelline, L'Oreal, Cover Girl, Fran Wilson and Lipsense.

We had a number of women try these much hyped lipsticks and put them through a rigorous test working, working out, eating and the kiss test... you know, regular day-to-day activities.

The winner was Lipsense... a newer product that you can't buy in stores... only through distributors. It's not cheap... it's about $20 per tube.

Our testers loved it... the only "drawback"... it does take a little extra work with baby oil and a washcloth to get off at the end of the day.
