i wonder if you're applying it too thick in the center of your lips. then it wouldn't dry enough to set. then when you put the gloss on top, since it hasn't set, it wears off.

as long as your lips are dry when you're applying it, and you're applying an even, medium layer (not too thin, not too thick), and you're waiting the full 1-2 minutes for it to set, you should be good. it doesn't matter that your lips are more moist in the center since the whole point of the product is to wear thru eating/drinking.

Wow! I would like to try one now! So I can give my boyfriend kisses without him complaining of getting glitter all over him. Hahahaha.

But does the gloss come off? Or not at all? If it does, then there would be no point hahahaha.

the glosses do come off. the whole point of these is that they are long wearing LIPSTICKS. the lipstick color comes off. you need to reapply the gloss.

Thats what Im saying, LOL. Like...ur gonna have to reapply SOMETHING, sometime throughout the day. It'd be cool if they could do a shiny creamy longwear, so you wouldnt have to reapply anything.

But still, I think its better than nothing, to have color on ur lips all day. lol

^^ That's true.
I guess I won't be checking it out after all. Hahahaha. I'll stick to my regular glosses. They both kiss off anyways.

I loved these lipsticks so much! I went in yesterday and they are without a must-have for any makeup lover. My grandma tried Red Reflection/Mirror and immediately said "I'll take it!" because it looks gorgeous on her. I tried Boss Brown/Slave to Pink and it lasted me all afternoon, so she picked that one up too. I'm going to get Pink Air/ White Top.

Concertina or anyone else that owns red flame/orange flicker, how does red flame look without the orange flicker over it? I would like to know how the color looks on its own.

I have Perennial Rose from the old Pro longwear line and I love the color on its own (it came with the clear l/g anyway) so I am just wondering how the new ones hold up without the tinted l/g. Any input/opinion whould be great TIA!

I picked up Firehouse on impulse the other week. I really like the colour, great for the toes.

the lipstick end of the new ones are the exact same as the ones in the permanent line, just with the addition of some new colors, so they'll wear the same.
