Tonight I took part in a Twitter event celebrating Lipcote, the original lipstick sealer. It's one of those cult products that everyone should own, and I'm really glad I have it in my possession now.
We were sent a few lipsticks, a mixing palette to create our own custom shades, and of course a Lipcote.
The aim is to seal lipstick all day, even after eating and drinking, without the need to reapply. Lipstick never lasts more than an hour on me, I'm not sure why (I think I have a bad habit of rubbing my lips together!) so I'm really impressed at how much Lipcoat helps. I know it makes the lips quite dry on some people, but I think as long as you look after your lips, keep them moisturised and exfoliated, then there shouldn't be too much of a problem.
I always found with red lipstick that I looked a bit like the Joker after applying, even with lip liner. However, Lipcote seals it in place so I don't have to worry about it being smeared down my chin.
There seems to be a bit of a divide, but I think it's a great product. What are your thoughts?

This is just what I need. I always find my red lippy bleeds no matter if I use lip liner or not.
ReplyDeleteI may have to invest in this. Thanks for the review :) x
You are stunning!! I first used lipcote when I was like 12 and I stole my mums. I remember practically crying cos it stung so much!! Haha. I had some last year but dropped it when I was drunk and it broke! :( I havent repurchesed since but I probably should xx

i swear by lipcote, especially when wearing red lipstick! though i find with some lipsticks it makes them go a bit funny and doesn't dry properly, it's still a fantastic wee product that everyone should have! x
ReplyDeleteI think i'm going to try this have always been scared of it for some reason I love my MUA red lipstick but as soon as I eat or drink it completely goes so hopefully this will help. x
ReplyDeletethis looks great
ReplyDeletecreating my own shadows of red would be a dream instead of buying different lipsticks

Lipcote reminds me of my mum! I'd love to get some now! My lipstick never stays on x
ReplyDeleteI've never actually used it before but keep meaning to because I have the same problem with lipsticks. However saying that I wore a bright red Gosh lipstick out for Halloween and it stayed on all night, I realised at the end of the night it was still perfect. I haven't tried any other Gosh lipstick's before but will definately do so in the future.

I have it too and it works great but I only wear it every now and then to special events because it burns on my lips like hell when I apply it! :D But what don't we do to look pretty! ;)

Yes I love Lipcote! It is such a lifesaver- I always end up smearing my lipstick otherwise! Love the colours you mixed too

I just bought Lipcote last week, can't say it really worked for me but lipstick never lasts more than 15 mins on me :-(
ReplyDeleteI've never tried it but if it stops the dreaded smudge then it sounds great! Really like the dark shade in the bottom right hand picture :)
