Covergirl Outlast Smoothwear All Day Lipcolor ($9.29) Wish your moisturizing lipcolor would last? Get the luscious look and feel of moisturizing lipcolor in a formula that lasts a full 8 hours. In satin and luminescent shades – it’s paradise!

My Thoughts:

As the name suggests, it is certainly an all day lipcolor. Also like long lasting lipcolor, it can be drying. The balm that comes with it is really moisturizing, but it doesn’t last very long. I felt like I had to reapply it every hour or my lips would be cracked and shriveled dry. I don’t think I will be repurchasing because I’m not a fan of all day lipcolor since dryness comes with it. Even though there is a moisturizing balm, I feel I will be using it all up before I even make a dent in the lipcolor.

Loreal Infallible Never Fail Lipcolour Compact ($11.99) This lipcolor has really good staying power. The top coat is not so good. It wasn’t as moisturizing as I hope it would be. It’s really important that my lips are moisturized, because long wearing lipcolor will suck out all the moisture from your lips.  Also, my lips dry out very easily. I do like that it isn’t goopey or gunky. I don’t have to worry about my hair sticking to my lips. It’s great for a night out. You don’t have to worry about reapplying or fading. All you have do is moisturize when you feel your lips drying out.

Covergirl Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers ($5.99) Pamper your lips with fresh, fruity flavor, a burst of shine and the smooth feel of a lip balm! Each pocket-sized tube of Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers has a conditioning formula, with botanical ingredients, helps improve lip condition over time and lock in moisture for hours.

My Thoughts:

This gloss smells oh so good! It’s also moisturizing . That’s about all I like about Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers. It’s just either too frosty or too sheer that it’s like applying Vaseline or a clear gloss. It’s such a shame because the colors in the tube are so pretty! You are definietly better off trying Cover Girl Wetslicks Lipgloss or Cover Girl Wetslicks Amazemint Lipgloss.

My Thoughts:

I felt this gloss was a bit too thick for my liking. It made spreading the gloss difficult. I had to squeeze out quite a bit of the product in order for the gloss and color to come out together. At the first intial squeeze, all that came out was the clear gloss. I didn’t like the taste or the smell of the gloss either. Majorly gross. Save your money and buy a different gloss.

Cover Girl Outlast Double Lipshine Lipgloss ($9.99) Meet the dynamic duo of shine! One side delivers opalescent color with serious staying power, the other lays on a liquid gloss, for shimmering color that lasts up to 10 hours.

My Thoughts:

I actually don’t like this long lasting lipgloss as much as I as like Cover Girl Outlast All Day Lipcolor. Performance wise, the gloss perfermormed as well as the lipcolor. It was definetely long lasting. The gloss lasted through meals, drinks, and a work out. The color of the gloss was comparable to the Cover Girl Outlast All Day Lipcolor. The big difference between Cover Girl Outlast Double Lipshine Lipgloss and Cover Girl Outlast All Day Lipcolor was the gloss. The lipcolor had a lipstick form of gloss while this one had a liquid gloss. I much prefer the lipstick gloss because it was so much less messier than the liquid gloss. I found the liquid gloss to be too glopey and gooey for my liking. If you can’t decide between this gloss and the lipcolor, go for the lipcolor.

My Thoughts:

Not a bad long lasting lipcolor. Yes, long wearing lipcolor are supposed to be drying, but this was too drying for me. However, the colors are really pretty and last forever! The color doesn’t budge at all. When I use Revlon Colorstay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick I just have to make sure my lips are constantly moisturized. It’s not my favorite, but by far not the worse. Give it a try.

Our advanced formula with resilient, brilliant coverage, color and shine gives you up to 16 hours of color that stays true in just 2 easy, breezy steps. Outlast has a moisturizing topcoat that helps lock in shine-no feathering, no bleeding.

My Thoughts:

This is most definitely an outlast all day lipcolor. It lasts all day and all night. It lasts so long I have to use Pond’s Cold Cream to remove it at the end of the day. It’s not as drying as most long wearing lipcolor, but it can be drying. Just be sure to moisturize well before applying the lipcolor and to be sure your lips are well exfoliated also. This allows the color to go on smoothly and won’t accentuate any dry, cracked lips. The best thing about Cover Girl Outlast All Day Lipcolor, besides the lasting color, is the amazing color selection you get. The only complaint I have about Cover Girl Outlast All Day Lipcolor is that the color of the tube doesn’t reflect the actual color of the product. It ends being darker than the tube color. I found this to be on of the best long lasting lipcolor I have ever tried.

*Tip how to apply: Be sure lips are well moisturized and flake free. Apply a thin layer of lipcolor. Allow the lipcolor to dry. It’s best not to layer so much of the lipcolor, but if you feel the need to layer on more, do so in thin layers. After the lipcolor dries, apply gloss. Viola! Long lasting lipcolor.

Neutrogena MoistureShine Gloss ($7.99) MoistureShine^® gloss brings long-lasting shine and sheer color to lips, without the stickiness.

My Thoughts:

This is one of the first and best drugstore lipglosses I have ever used. They are great for a natural everyday look since they provide a sheer wash of color. The lipglosses are not sticky and the colors look natural. Plus, they seem to last longer than other glosses. I always carry one in my purse and backpack.

Revlon Creme Gloss ($9.99) The next-generation in lip gloss with both full-coverage color and extreme gloss shine. Collagen complex and light reflecting particles give lips a fuller appearance. Vitamin E and collagen condition for ultra-soft lips. Unique flow-through brush offers smooth, even application. Available in 15 deeply pigmented, high gloss shades.

My Thoughts:

This gloss really dries out my lips and smells like something I can’t quite figure out. It has a thick texture and doesn’t go on evenly. I regret purchasing this creme gloss and wouldn’t repurchase in the future.

L’Oreal Infallible Never Fail Lipgloss ($9.99)  The tube is very sleek. However, I am not pleased with the wand. It reminds me of a bubble blowing wand for some reason. When you first apply the gloss, it goes on super smooth. Shortly after though, I noticed the immense stickiness. It felt as if my lips were glued together!  The color does last longer than your usual lipgloss and the shades are really pretty. I personally wouldn’t use this gloss again because I don’t like having to pull my lips apart everytime I need to move my lips.
