I shared on my Instagram stories that I have been wearing almost exclusively LipSense lately and asked if anyone would be interested in a post about my experience. Almost 80% of you said yes, so I am here today to deliver an honest LipSense review from a non-seller point of view. It’s hard to link the products on blog posts and my Instagram photos, so I figured this would be easier.
Why Do I Personally Like LipSense?
I’ve never been a huge beauty person though that is changing slightly of late, so I didn’t bother much with lipstick on a regular basis. This was mainly due to two reasons. Reason one is that I found it annoying to have to reapply it throughout the day to maintain the color and/or not end up with a ring of color on the outside of my lips while the inside wore off. Reason number two is that I found it drying. As a person who prefers the feel of lip gloss/chapstick, I could just never find a lipstick that was moisturizing and would stay.
LipSense comes in two stages. You apply the color first (in three coats), and it is essentially lip paint. It is meant to last all day, and from my experience it really does. The second stage is the gloss, and the two combined solved my issues. The color stays all day and feels like wearing lip gloss. I have found that the darker colors stay better than some of the lighter colors.
Pros of LipSense
- As mentioned above, the color lasts all day.
- The main pro for me is that is feels like wearing lip gloss.
- The gloss is moisturizing.
- LipSense is not tested on animals nor does it have any animal products, and it is all made in the USA.
Cons of LipSense
- It is expensive. To start you need at least one color and one gloss which are roughly $25 each, so you pay $50 to get started. The pro to this is that the color will last a long time because you only need to apply it once a day. I go through the gloss much faster than the color.
- I have friends who do not like LipSense because they prefer the feel of regular lipstick. For me, as mentioned above, I love it for the opposite reason. It feels like gloss.
- Some people say it burns when you apply it or that it drys out their lips at first. This is due to the alcohol in the color which is included to help keep bacteria from growing in the product. However, Iย did not have either of these experiences. I’m sure it depends on your lips.
- I have also had friends who have drier lips and they say that it doesn’t apply well on them because of the flakes on their skin. Again, I have not had this experience.
How Do You Buy LipSense?
LipSense is sold through independent consultants. Originally I decided to give it a try because one of my friends at church was selling it. I really like and respect her, and I figured if she was selling it it had to be decent. I thought it was worth a shot to try one color to see if it lived up to the hype. Now I own seven colors…. If you are interested in purchasing, I highly recommend Jamieย – you can contact her through her Facebook page or by email at jamiesalldaylipstay@gmail.com. She is also running a 15% off sale through the end of the year, so it’s a great time to try it out. And no, this is not sponsored.

I am going to pin this, because I’ve been wanting to add a few LipSense colors to my collection! I have received a couple of shades in exchange for a collab and I love them both. I love how you share an outfit with each of these shades. The Lexi Bear-y is really pretty on you! I have the Bravo shade.

Oh thanks for pinning! What colors do you have? I am always googling/pinterest searching colors trying to decide on others to try. ๐
Ok, I just looked at the two colors I have and I was wrong, I don’t have the Bravo shade. I actually have Bombshell and Pink Champagne. Bombshell is more of a neutral and Pink Champagne is a subtle pink.

Thanks for the honest review! I’ve heard so many mixed reviews, so it’s nice to know the brand truly is worth trying. I adore lipstick and have worn it as soon as I was old enough to! You seeeeriously suit a red lip, oh my gosh, so glamorous! My favourite colour for me would be the dark rose pink shade. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas babe…

You are so sweet, thank you! I have been on a major red kick lately! I really do love it, but like I said, I have had friends who didn’t like it due to the reasons I mentioned. If you try it let me know what you think.
Love your super thorough review and really glad you’ve liked using it!! The colors look amazing on you! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
I tried out LipSense and definitely love the color variety! And love this post Amy!

I love the colors you wear! The soft pink is gorgeous. I haven’t tried them yet just because it costs $$$ and I know I’d probably like it and then I’d spend all my money on it!

All of these lip colors look great on you! You already know that I’m a huge fan of LipSense! Def worth the price tag!

I haven’t tried it yet, but I do use similar products from Sephora. Some come off, some stay, but I find them all better than a regular lipstick.
So many pretty colors! I’ve never heard of them before. Great review ๐

I’ve been vacillating whether I should try this, Amy. Because it is expensive. But the lasting all day is almost priceless. You say you go through the gloss faster. Have you had to buy a second gloss, and if so, do you remember about how long it lasted???
Thanks for this fabulous info….I may need to contact Jamie because I don’t know anyone who sells it…

Good question! I bought my first one about a year ago and have used two of the gloss tubes. I just got my third. I use it multiple times a week and apply the gloss several times a day. I have hardly put a dent in any of the colors though since you apply them only once. The first color I bought was dark pink, and it was a great everyday pink to start out with if you are interested. Jamie is amazing!
My best friend sells LipSense so I have tried a few colors from her! I do really like them but I will say that as someone who is INCREDIBLY dry and has super chapped lips, I find they don’t wear very well on me. I’m saving mine for the summer when my skin isn’t so dry!

Yeah, I have heard that if you have dry lips. Harder in the winter for sure I bet! I do love the colors and staying power.
Thanks for this review. Maybe in 2018 I will try Lipsense. Awesome colors on you especially the red family ones. I also love burgundy for the holidays and I am wearing that color on my post today. I think you’d like the outfit, Amy Ann. Hope you all had a wonderful, cozy Christmas!
ah this lip-gloss looks dreamy. beautiful colours. xx

That berry is my favorite too I think! I just got Goddess though, and It’s a new favorite as well.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2018!!!
