I splurged and bought two of these new lipsticks. I prefer lipgloss to lipstick unless I'm going out on the town, but I was looking for a lipgloss that would last longer than most. I love the way these feel. I've been applying them first thing in the morning and they last until lunch if I am careful when I eat and drink. They feel really soft and comfortable on. I bought Teddy Bear - a brownish reddish color, and Rasberry Sorbet - a natural looking pink. I was so pleased with these that I went back and bought two more - Plushy and Daredevil. The Daredevil is a healthy, brighter pink than the Rasberry Sorbet. It looks great on me and lasts even longer if I start with a brown lipliner before I apply it. Plushy is a brown red with less brown than the Teddy Bear. I'm going on a trip and I think that these and Clinique's Vintage Wine Lipstick (for a dressy night out) will probably be the only lipsticks I'll take (and I'm a lipstick junkie). The reason I gave these liquid lipsticks 4 instead of 5 is because the odor, while low key when it's on - smells like sunscreen - not really pleasant and they could have improved on that. If you aren't in the habit of smelling your lips you probably won't notice it though.
