Advantages: Stays on and won't be budged

Disadvantages: Can cake after hours of usage, but hey only slight moan it does at least stay on hours!

I found this product a couple of years ago, cheap on a market in London and I haven't looked back since! I own about 10 colours in all different shades and I simply adore them!

There are plenty of colours to choose from and the range is growing all the time along with special editions popping up from time to time too!

It promises to stay on all day or all night. It does!
You can eat, drink and snog and it don't budge at all!
I can go clubbing, and on dates, have a cheeky kiss and the man thinks he about to get covered in lippy and looks nervous and is surprised when he isn't! lol. All round this is a superb lippy!

The Packaging:

Gold box containing the colour of your choice and a clear tube of top coat. The colour is in a long tuby like thing with a gold screw on lid and that contains a sponge like applicator to one end of it that is slightly angled. The gloss is a frosted plastic long tube, same as the lip colour but it's a twist with a push on lid and you apply it from the tube over the colour.

So the plus points of these product?:

Reasonably priced considering they do what they say they're going to do.
They stay on for hours, I've been to bed drunk and my mates come in my bedroom to see if I'm alive and she thought I'd been up and put my make up on ready for the day!
Packaging is nice enough and I love the sponge applicator, it makes it easier to put it on and to do it evenly.
If your lips are weak in shape you can define them with this product, by shading darker and if you want to create a bow in the top of your lips like I do least you know that's ist' safe and that your not going to end up losing your lippy as the night goes on to leave you looking like a clown and that you've got a tiny bit of lippy where you can see you to tried to fake draw it on!
Also no more fighting for the loos girls as you've put your lippy on and there's no need to check its there or re-apply it and if you want to cos ya lips feel a little dry the product comes with a top coat and again no need for a mirror it's doesn't have a colour to it and gives a nice moisturising shine without the cheapness of a wet sticky lip gloss but on my lips it's not drying to them even without the top coat.

When it comes to getting it off I no longer have a problem. I find that a lot of make up removing wipes make hard work of it so I actually use a none oily eye make up remover first then I cleanse, tone and moisturise in the normal way.

Product lasts ages and ages, I mean a lipstick that you apply once a day will, so make sure you like the colour!

The only negative I have is at times it can feel heavy on my lips and very thick particularly if I've been wearing it for a few hours and because of the difficulty I've highlighted in removing it earlier it's hard to sort out when your out and if you re-apply over the top of what you have on it looks like you've re applied over crumbs of cake and the only thing I've found that helps with this happening is to use the top coat regular to stop the lip ink drying out.

All in all this is an amazing and much under-rated product.
I can't find anything that achieves even a close effect to this one. My mates still haven't clicked it's time to move on from lipstick covered teeth yet!

All in all this is a must have for the party season and has many more positive points than negatives, I for one won't be using anything else and I'll just remember that after a few hours I need to use the top coat and I'm away! I can't live without this product and even my Mother owns one or two of them now.

If you don't believe my claims nip into a chemist and try a tester if your not brave enough to put it on your lips draw a line on your hand and leave to dry a minute then try removing it?!
Case closed lol

Ps!

Boots have an offer on, spend £12 on Max Factor get free goodie box and in TK ax you can get 4 lipfinity lipsticks for £10 in a case (regular size) and in TJ Hughes they have limited colours but are £2! It really pays to look on markets and in bargain buckets you can save £££££s! lol
