Today I'm sharing my thoughts on Loreal Infallible Never-Fail Lip Colour. While I'm a big fan of Loreal in general, and stockpile many of their fine products, this lip stuff - I didn't like it. And here's why.*Not a big fan of the long-lasting lip wear. Even though I want to be and have tried more than five kinds. The Never-Fail was the worst I have tried.
*It left my lips super dry and wrinkly. Veeerrrrrry uncomfortable.
*It wore off my lips, probably helped by all the lip-rubbing and gloss applying I was doing, trying to get rid of the dry feeling.
*It did not wear off the edges of my lips. For like three days. The clown look is not for me.
And before you all comment in - yes, I do know the correct way to apply it. And yes, I let it dry without so much as allowing anything near either lip for like 10 minutes. Including one lip upon another. And yes, I used the gloss stick with it. Like repeatedly. I think I almost used it up. (A side note: I still have that accompanying gloss stick from a Cover Girl long-wear lip stuff that I used a few years ago. Their gloss is the best. I continue to hope they will sell it by itself.)
So, I took my Infallible Never-Fail Lip Color with the beautiful packaging back to the grocery store (without commenting on the failure of a name) and traded it in for a Loreal Colour Juice Stick. I wrote about that in my massic post, The Great Lip Product Debate. Anybody have better luck with the long-wear lip products? Help me out here.

I do not like to try very many lipstick products because my experience has been that most dry my lips out so much that my lips start to peel. I finally found two that do not have that effect (Aveda and Burt's Bees), so I have stuck with those ever since. I have one tube of Aveda that is 12 years old. Maybe I need to think abut getting a new one :-).
Let me tell you my secret tip with this lipstick (which i love).
Buy a darker shade than you actually want. Put it onto one lip at a time and immediately blot it with tissue. This will leave just a thin layer that won't crack and is not mask like.
Repeat with lower lip. Use their gloss as directed. This totally works. I swear.
At the end of the day use Mary Kay Oil free make-up remover for super simple removal.
Good info to know. I have not tried a long lasting lip color. I am in the shopping mode now though, if I find something I like I'll let you know.
My current favorite (long-wear) is Max Factor's Lipfinity. The gloss stick is very similar to the Cover Girl long-wear one. On me, it wears off well (if I don't feel like removing it with make-up remover or vaseline) - definitely no clown lips.
I love this stuff! I put it on like Emilie said, no cracking and drying!
