I was hoping that this would magically turn my lipsticks into Covergirl Outlast twins. Not quite; but it *did* do a good job of keeping my lipstick in place through 4 hours of talking and light snacks. When the heavy eating started, it began to ball-up and peel off in little clumps, which was a bit awkward, though I was able to just wipe them off w/a napkin. The nail-polish-like bottle & applicator are nice, the brush bristles soft. It has a nice, sweet wintergreen taste, but *does* sting lips a bit going on--almost like wintergreen alcohol until it evaporates. Leaves lips feeling a bit tight. For someone who values long-wearing lipcolor, this is a decent, inexpensive tool to add to your arsenal. For those looking for a mirace--you may want to look elsewhere
