I was soooooooo mad cause that color was so pretty, sucks it didn't work on me, hopefully it works for you.

That is EXACTLY what happens to me. I have let it set for even longer than 2 minutes and I am constantly re-applying that gloss and not matter what it clumps and dries out my lips. It sucks because the color I got was gorgeous but its not so pretty when the clumps are falling off of your lips!

I bought Stuck On You. It's a pretty wine color. I don't have the same "clumping" problem as others, but I do find that I reapply the gloss quite frequently. (But I apply Lipglass about 4x per day anyways.)

Stays on through everything. Some of it will come off as you eat greasy or oily foods. They stay on longer than the Cover Girl or Max Factor types.

In all I am really satisfied with the colors and wearability.

I really like them. I find that it's best to apply with a disposable lip brush because longlasting lip colors always gunk up my regular lip brush. The doe foot applicators stink IMO because they apple the color unevenly. Also, put on a *thin* coat, enough to cover your lips , but too much tends to ball up in clumps.

I've used it a few times since my original post and i found that i had to be careful with the application and reapply the gloss frequently (something normal for me anyway) but other than that I'm really happy with it
staying power is good...it lasted through dinner, drinks and a kiss with my boyfriend
hes happy to finally not wear my lipcolours

i (now) <3 prolong wears!

I got "for keeps" a while back, and had really high expectations for it. But after wearing it, I found that once the top gloss coat was gone, the color started to ball up and dry out my lips.
I buried it in the bottom of my traincase, but yesterday (and again today) I did an experiment. First I applied the color and gloss as directed (waiting in between). Then a few minutes later, I but on a decent coat of regular lipstick (mac's Brave, satin). This combination lasts forever! My lips feel like they only have the satin on them, which is nice, but they have a lot of the longwear color showing. Plus it isn't drying. If you have a prolongwear, I def recommend trying it.

Longwears need the gloss coat to work properly and it's essential when using them to reapply it regularly. I take the gloss with me when I am wearing a longwear and reapply it every few hours, or after I eat or drink. If I remember to reapply the gloss my longwears can last anywhere from 8-12 hours or more, and when I take them off, my lips feel softer and more moisturised than they were to begin with.

I like the colours of the longwears that I own, so I'm not sure I'd want to change them by putting lipstick over them, unless it was a very sheer colour. I guess this will be useful to some though.

Pro Longwear

I won Coco Fix Pro Longwear Lipcolour and I'm just wondering about the gloss...how do you stop the gloss from becoming 'tainted' with the lip colour after you put it on overtop? Do you wipe it off after? That's what I've been doing with my lustrewhite and garden lustreglass and such.

 

[eyeshadowfreak]

the lipcolor part is transfer resistant. as long as you're applying the gloss after the color itself has dried, it shouldn't taint the gloss.

 

[professionaltart]

i wipe it off before i put it back in the tube

Yeah. My mom uses it. The gloss stays clear and the brush may pick up a little color but the color doesn't really transfer much.

It's related I promise! My dad is so sweet, he knows my mum is forever reapplying her lipstick so he suggested to her to get something like this (after having seen the Rimmel adverts for something similar), and I've shown my mum these on the website, trying to ignite her interest...sounds like something she'd like except she's not so big on the gloss idea.

 

[HotPinkHeels]

I had durashell and i just cannot get it to work-so ill try this...hopefully it works *fingers crossed*

My mom got this in perenal rose when we went to MAC a while back. She put in on, and hours later i was like "Mom, its still on", much later that day I was like "Mom that stuff is still on". She woke up in the morning, and we laughed so hard because her lipstick was STILL on.

I have to say, it stays put much longer than I would have thought.

How do you put lipstick, over the top of the gloss?

HAHAHAHAH!! That is so true. My mom's lasts forever. Sometimes I just stare in amazement.

Pro Long Wears

I bought Lasting Lust Pro Long Wear the other day and wasn't pleased with it when I wore it out for the day. It peeled off in the centre of my lips after like 20 minutes, and the top coat wore off sooo quickly. I'll try it out again, but I don't want to go through all the reapplying and flaking again then trying to scrub it off. Does anyone else have this problem? It stays well around the outside of my lips, but in the centre wears off on my bottom lip. I'd rather buy a lipstick because it doesn't completely peel off. I think I may return it; first MAC return ever!

 

[PrettyKitty]

Did you let it dry for about 10 minutes? That's what I do before applying the Top Coat.

 

[ruby_soho]

Hmmm I didn't think it would have to try for THAT long. I guess I'll try that next time and see if it stays on any better. Thanks

 

[ledonatella]

I just wore Femme Forever through drinks and dinner and it stayed put. I let mine dry for about 5 minutes and then put on the top coat. I had the same problem you did before with a different one but I wasen't letting it dry long enough and also the more product I applied the weirder the consistancy got and it didn't dry right. I found one good swipe is plenty. I don't know if that helps or not.

Pro long wears tend to flake if you put too much on. Try using less, also prep and prime lip under them helps.
