Good Points

The base colour stays on all day.
It's easier to put on than other all day lipsticks.
Good range of colours.


Bad Points

It's very hard to take off.
If you make a mistake while applying, you have to start again.
Lip gloss comes off very easily.


General Comments

I bought Revlon ColorStay Overtime Sheer Lip color after a long search for a lipstick to wear on my wedding day. I bought their 'Sheer Naked' shade, which actually comes out pretty pink once on.

It's very easy to apply, compared with Lipfinity by Max Factor, which I have tried before. As this is a sheer colour you can put on a fairly thin layer and it's done the job. It stays tacky until dry so you can't really close your mouth until then, otherwise you get a line on the inner rim of the mouth.

My personal choice with the gloss, was to apply it, wait a few seconds, and then blot. Basically this leaves the nice colour with a wonderfully sparkly effect (an effect which lasts the whole day incidentally). I couldn't be bothered with reapplying the gloss throughout the day, (or for my hair to get stuck to my lips) so this provided a wonderful alternative. I love sparkles, and this was enough sparkles for even me!

The feel of the lipstick was also very good. Naturally my lips started to feel dry towards the end of the day, but my lips always do if I don't apply lip balm (which I wouldn't do as this would remove the lipstick). On application, my lips felt light and moisturised and after about an hour, I'd forgotten I was wearing any and later on in the evening I could have done with a bit of lip balm, but nothing too bad.

As I mentioned, it was for my wedding, and as a result, it withstood eating, drinking, talking and kisses. Nothing was left on my champagne glass or my new husband! Only problem was taking it off. I had to put a lot of lip balm on to remove it, and when this failed, face wash didn't work either. I think I woke up the next day with some of it still on! Never mind!

I'm now off to buy a more Christmas-time shade for all the ensuing parties!
