Guest post by my cousin Colette- A review of Lipcote Lipstick Sealer

Hello people! About a month ago I asked my cousin to do a review of the Lipcote lipstick sealer that I gave to her. I thought for a change I want her to do me a review/ guest post. Enjoy.

Guest Post- Lipcote Lipstick Sealer Review

I promised my cousin weeks ago to write a review about the Lipcote Lipstick sealer she got from her monthly Glossy box, but she gave it to me instead since she's not a fan of using lipsticks.

I have recently been really into lipsticks so I was really excited to try this out! I have always been a bit skeptical towards lipstick primers because I think they are pricey and simply didn't want to buy anything expensive that turns out being really bad.

How the product looks like:

As you can see it's liquid and sort of reminds me of nail polish - the smell as well. According to the directions on the packaging (that I have already thrown away) for best result, after putting on lipstick you should gently pat your lips with a piece of tissue. Apply a thin layer of the Lipcote sealer on the outer lips and then fill the rest.

My Verdict:

I did not like it at all! Why?? I will keep it short by listing up the cons with this product:

- It smells AWFUL! As I mentioned earlier, it has a strong chemical smell.... like nail polish! It's far from pleasant to put anything stinky like that on your lips.... near your nose as well!

- It tastes really really bad. I guess the bad smell gave it away already. I personally think it is unavoidable to get bits of lip products in your mouth because you will taste it when you either lick your lips, drink or eat. So I don't understand why they didn't think about this issue when developing the product. Nail polish in your mouth? No thank you.

- It's not long lasting. I guess it works...ish? I'm not sure if it really works or if it's because I am so conscious about the smelly product on my lips that I become extra careful with not licking or rub my lips. Nevertheless, it wears off after only one or two hours!

- It leaves residuals on your lips that look like dead skin! This is a big no no. I noticed that after having a meal it left some residuals on my lips, unless I am extremely careful. And don't even think about wiping your mouth with a napkin, the product will peel of immediately.

-It made my lips dry. It might be only me because I get easily dry lips, this product made my lips feel even more dry!

Yep, I couldn't think of any pros.... the only pro is the fact that it was free because my cousin gave it to me haha. Anyways, I am planning to give it away or just throw it because I will never use it again.
