@trixy34, that you so much! I will check all those out. I’m an Angie fan, but probably just skipped that particular video as I was happy with Clinique. I’m going to try the maybeline, too. Those can be taken back easily if they don’t work.
@conmama - I think it’s entitled Lipstick Wear Test for Mature lips. It’s probably time she does another one! I think she also really likes a tarte or too faced lipstick - can’t remember which brand it was. It’s probably in her ride or die video.
I was a big fan of the Maybelline 24 hour wear lipstick for a while. The color definitely stays on for a long time, and the separate lip gloss felt moisturizing. But since I wasn’t constantly reapplying the gloss throughout the day, I felt like it did dry my lips out.
Lately I’ve been using Clinique’s Lip Pop Lacquer. It’s a gloss that isn’t really sticky. Unfortunately, it doesn’t stay on all day, but I feel like my lips are healthier and less prone to being dry than they were. I will still put on the Maybelline for when I need staying power. Otherwise I’m using the Clinique gloss.
Are these Clinique Pop colors just super bright? Is that why they are called Pop?
Have you looked at MAC matte lipsticks? Recently found them and feel they don’t dry out my lips and they last many hours through eating and drinking, even swimming. I would like better colors. They do offer a mini stick so you can try a color at a lower price than their full size.
@conmama - There are several nude Clinique Pop Lacquer colors. My favorite is Cocoa Pop, which looks really nice with my warm undertone.
@conmama, I think I have barepop that’s pretty neutral, and maybe another, but I can’t remeber the name.
