What is lipcote? Lipcote is a lipstick sealer, designed to keep your lippy on your pout, and not on your drink, your teeth, your fork or your bloke! Packaging The packaging for this product is iconic. It comes in a small box, with an illustration of chic, kissable lips, drawn by fashion illustrator David Downton. Inside, however, it's a bit cheap and tacky. There's a small bottle of slightly yellowish liquid with a bright scarlet lid, onto which is attached a brush for application. However, given that this only costs about £3, it seems churlish to complain too much. Use All you do is apply your lipstick, ...  Read the complete review

I bought my first bottle of Lipcote about 30 years ago when I first started 'going out'. I didn't want to spend half the night re-applying lipstick so on the advice of an aunty I bought this. At the time I thought it worked quite well though with some reservations. So I recently bought a bottle again for a wedding I was attending. Lipcote is as the name suggests a coat which seals your lipstick colour in giving prolonged wear. The little bottle has changed from the red lidded version that has been around for decades, and now has a gold coloured lid, as far as I can tell everything else is pretty much the same, though I can't be entirely sure as ...  Read the complete review

***Why I want the product*** I think everyone has guessed I am a lip product obsessed kinda girl. I have lipsticks ranging from reds, pinks, nudes and subtle browns. But there is one thing about wearing lipsticks I have a real pet hate with. The dreaded transfer onto cups that leave a lovely ring around the edge of the cup or glass with your lipstick all around it. I believe it is also a pet hate of my husband who likes to point out "You've left your lips on that cup." Thanks love. When I am wearing a lipstick I like it to stay on for as long as possible without the need for touching up every five minutes, and besides you sometimes cannot ...  Read the complete review

I recently resubscribed to glossy box (quickly google if you don't know what this is!) and in my first box I received a full sized version of lipcote. It is always great to get something that is full sized in these boxes as so often they are just samples. I thought it was a little weird that this was one of the items because glossy box tend to send new, upcoming or luxury products - and lipcote is none of these. In fact it's been around for years, I can remember my sister owning one when she was about 15 so we are talking at least 10 years ago. I was still keen t try the products as I knew it was fairly cheap and if it was good then I had a new product to add ...  Read the complete review

This month I was lucky enough to win a couple of prizes from a competition Glamour magazine ran in May. One of my prizes was this, Lipcote's lipstick sealer. I do wear makeup on a daily basis, but I am not the type of person who constantly reapplies their lipstick. It goes on once in a morning before I leave the house, and usually that is it unless I remember to reapply at some point during the day. I tend to wear the same lipstick everyday because it took me a long time to find a colour I really liked. The lipstick is not an expensive one, and only stays on my lips for about an hour before wearing off. I had heard of Lipcote in the ...  Read the complete review
