Advantages: will not come off!

Disadvantages: not a great variety of colours

I used to be one of those people who thought that four quid was expensive for a lipstick. After trying Lipfinity I can that you get what you pay for.

Lipfinity claims that once you have put this lipstick on it won't wear off. This does sound unbelieveable but it's true!

The lipstick comes in two separate parts, an undercoat and a top coat (a bit like paint!). The undercoat is the coloured part. It comes with an applicator and is runnier than normal lipstick (but not so runny it runs all down your face). You just paint it on which is much easier and more accurate than using a normal lipstick and you don't need to worry about lipbrushes. You have to let the undercoat dry before you put the top coat on which is clear, a bit like a bip balm. It also makes your lips shiney and soft! The top coat can be applied as many times as you like during the day/night and keeps your lips moist and stops them drying out.

Now for the good part. This lipstick will not come off, not if you are eating/drinking/whatever (!!). You will not be able to just wash it off at the end of the day/night either though. Make sure that you buy some baby lotion, the is the only way I have found to get the stuff off!!

At £7 a go this lipstick is a bit expensive but as you will only need to apply it once you should save some money!! For the £7 you get the colour undercoat and the top coat. If you run out of the top coat you can buy that separately for about £4.50.

The only down point of Lipfinity that I can think of is that there aren't a great deal of colours available, especially in our little Cornish shops! If you look at their website they have quite a wide choice but when I go looking for them I can't find them and most of the shops only have about ten different colours.

Lipfinity is suitable for both daytime and evening, there are brighter colours if you want to look a bit more 'spangly' at night and nic
e normal shades for the daytime. I have found that there isn't really a darker shade for us goths though! Have to make do with the darkish purply red!!
