Advantages: Will not transfer, smear, wear off, good coverage

Disadvantages: can be difficult to take off

I first bought this lipstick 2 years ago and I think it's one of the best out there! I have been wearing red since I was 14, and i usually end up powdering over, lining my lips, then applying it with a brush, then maybe a gloss. I have a cup of coffee and it's gone.

I'm a 1940s girl at heart, which means that if I'm feeling in a Rita Hayworth mood, i'll line slightly outside of the lips, over the cupid's bow a la the style of the era. I hardly ever did this before lipfinity, because it'd end up smeared, but believe you me, you can do this with lipfinity and it's stuck fast. That's how good it is.

Lipfinity, as all of the other reviews here have stated, is a small tube of very thick lippie, that is applied like a lipgloss with a little sponge applicator (its a lot more precise than it sounds!) and it dries almost instantly. It feels very thick and gloopy, until you slick on the gloss stick, which has a vaseline like texture, and you're good to go.

What i like about it is that wearing darker colours is a different experience to other colours and as such, there are sometimes problems that you encounter with many other lipsticks that don't happen with this. Firstly, i don't leave smeared lipstick marks on mugs anymore! secondly i don't get left with that horrible "ring" around my lips, where the centre has worn off, but the lipliner remains! You don't get the dreaded "hair stuck to lipgloss" scenario, nor do you keep having to look in the mirror to check its not smudged or on your teeth. i have a habit of dragging my hands down the length of my face during a particularly trying moment- this lipstick does not move. Honestly, even if you drag your finger around the edge of your lips, it will not transfer or smudge.

Of course, this lasts all night for a night out, and stops you from wandering into the realms of "trying to put make up on whilst sozzled" ! It's great.

I find the colours very good too. I have firey ardent, hot, and one called lucious that i think will be my next buy! i tried it on my hand this morning- it's still there! :)

The only downside is that this is hard work to get off- you need an oil based cleanser, as it really does stay on. But for my money, it's worth it. I'd rather it be difficult to get off than easy to get off! If you are a big lippie wearer, check this out. it's well worth the money!

Summary: Best lipstick for lippie lovers!
