Comparison Review: Battle of the Long-Wear Lip Glosses!

Whereas 1-2 years ago, it was difficult to find truly long-lasting lip colors, many companies now offer products that stand up to eating, drinking, talking, and even kissing!

To help you navigate the long-wear lipcolor waters, I tested out 3 popular drugstore brand glosses: Maybelline’s SuperStay 24 Color in Blush On, Revlon’s ColorStay Overtime Lipcolor in Neverending Nude, and L’Oreal’s Infallible Never Fail Lipcolour in Hibiscus.
