I know what post you were are talking about and I was comparing the colors to Hug me.
Mellow and Durashell are not really close in color. However, mellow is pretty
and worth looking at.
Sorry for the confusion.

i've got 3 of the longwears and 3 of the lusterwears and they are my favorite things ever, and personally, worth the $20. but def. make sure you wait till the color coat dries before applying the topcoat. also, when i first got them, they stayed on so long that i had trouble getting them off! i have some of the more natural shades, and when i get braver, i may branch out and get the more colorful ones.

If you still want the swatch, Anthem, I'll be taking pics of CB tonight. Let me know, and I'll do it with those.

I have to be honest, I hated the stuff. It stays on for a good while but then if you do drink something it starts to "chip" off and all the lip product gets bundled up on my lips. So nonetheless, I had to reaply that..I would save your $20 and use it towards the prep+prime lip. I love this stuff. It makes my lipstick and lipglosses stay a lot longer and it doesn't bother the application of the lip product.

thank you all for the feedback, and karen for the swatch
the texture looks really nice.
i saw the longwears at mac the other day, and i thought durashell would be similar to oyster girl lipglass...but i didn't see anything even close to that, so i don't know if maybe they were out of it or what, but i think i'm gonna try p+p and get the longwear a little later when i have some more money to spend

i did not like the pro longwear. it gets "dry" and it also balled up on me. i didnt like it at all. i would never buy it again.

i have experimented with this a bit, and finally have them down. condition your lips maybe 20 mintues before you put on pro longwear, and make sure you wipe off whatever you used to condition them with. start with clean, soft lips. apply an even coat of the color, then let it dry for at least a minute WITHOUT pressing your lips together. once you're sure its dry, simply go over it with the topcoat, again, not pressing your lips together. the key to keeping it on, is not really touching your lips, or stretching them out, so to speak. you don't want to crack off the color, or have it rub off from friction. it really does last forever, as long as your careful. i've gone through meals/conversations/cigarettes/sleeping etc. with them on and it does stay, it just takes some getting used to. i love them, but they're kinda pricey at $20? look for em at a CCO.

I love pro-wear! but I guess you might have to try it at the counter first.
Make sure your lips are clean - nothing on them at all. Don't apply very much.
I do an outline first then fill in. let it dry and add any gloss or lipstick.
I don't have dry skin so maybe it works for some and not for others?
I espicially like the dark or vidid shades like Alta Moda, it lasts all day, unlike
lipstick is gone after a couple hours. I don't really like the frosty colors.
