YAY! Another great recommendation from MUA that I am so happy about.

This little gem is indeed a miracle & does what it claims. Fills in the lines on the lips so l/g & l/s go on smooth without settling into them. It also works great as an invisible barrier on the lip line to prevent l/g & l/s from migrating. I will definitely try it for those oh so subtle 35yr old fine lines around the eyes for special occasions. So glad I finally caved in & bought two of them!

Ah, this is indeed a magical little gem! After reading several posts on the MU board, I decided to take the plunge and purchase. Although the product is expensive, it lives up to its claims, and keeps my lip gloss and lipstick from migrating towards my chin. I've read that you can also apply it under eyes to minimize fine lines, but I've yet to try that. The one thing I would change about the packaging is to allow the product to be retractable...currently, once you roll it up, you can't swivel it back down again, so be cautious that you don't overextend the tip of the product. Overall, a good investment if you need something to prevent lipgloss and lipstick migration!

This is a product with hugh potential. Wonderful for hiding the lips around the lines and taking care of lipstick feathering. Almost like magic actually. The down side is the price for what you get. The bullet is rather on the small side. I bought mine mid July and it is now finished! I called Sephora and they informed me that this product has about a life span of l month. I am also told that it has a high concentration of silocone and that a little goes a long way. Truthfully, I have yet to find such a magical product for smoothing lip lines and making lipstick stay on for a long time. I will definitely buy it again and have ordered another one to be here soon.

This is basically a wand of clear almost chapstick like product you apply around your lip line to stop lipgloss or lipstick feathering. It definately works for that, and also works to fill in little fine lines on the face like a primer. As far as the lip plumping claim, no go. But I love this stuff for yet another reason - it prevents the skipping and drag my lipliner does. My lipliner is a bit dark for my lipgloss, but this stuff allows me to apply a softer lighter line that actually lasts longer. I am really impressed with this stuff, and would repurchase.

This is absolutely great -- I use it every day. As promised, it "ends" feathering/bleeding, and plumps my lips a little, too. I also use it around my eyes to plump up fine lines. Great stuff -- should be in every woman's arsenal. Buy it.

I bought this product as part of a gift set and have to say this is the only item I've used up so far. It keeps lip gloss and lipstick from bleeding all over the place AND your color stays put!!! I can put this on under my lip color in the AM before breakfast and it's still there by lunchtime and sometimes even well into the late afternoon. Perfect for keeping gloss in it's place as well. I will def. repurchase this.

This is, absolutely, the best product to prevent bleeding of lipstick and gloss! It comes in a stick and is clear, odorless, and not at all waxy (looking or feeling) on the skin. It prevents lipstick and gloss bleeding, and extends the wear time of any lip product. Highly recommended!

I love this product, it really keeps dark lipsticks and liners from bleeding on me. It also keeps gloss from sliding all over the place.

This is now a staple for me. It fills in all fine lines on and around lips, allowing for a perfectly smooth application of lipstick.
